Favorite Grey Dealers

If you have done business with grey market dealers - can you share your favorites? How open have they been to negotiate? I’ve been looking for SS sport watches and wanted to do a little more due diligence. Any greys you would avoid? Thank you

I’ve bought from DavidSW a few times and Chase At Nashville Watches once. Both very reputable and solid dealers. I would imagine they would negotiate less on hot models, but they won’t be offended at reasonable offers. I haven’t bought any SS hot models from them during the shortage.

DavidSW is the best. I have been dealing with him for the past many years and so for no complains or regrets.

I realize the answer to this question is highly subjective, but I'm curious what constitutes a reasonable offer. I'm interested in recently out of production and in some cases vintage references, but nothing crazy rare. I would do business with DavidSW if the right watch came along and at the right price. Can PM me if you'd rather.

Sorry not much help here. Speaking of Rolex only I bought a K ser. Sub from Chase in june of '17. I've found his prices to be the most competitive out there for a TS. That deal was 100% positive. Since then when the shortage started I've not bought any Rolex on the grey market, AD and private sellers only. There are no six digit pieces out there that I would ever pay over msrp for and I've bought five new SS models since. > Subc, Zblue, Polar, Blnr, DJ41, every one included a discount the least being the Blnr which was tax included. Happy Hunting...

Justrolexes and OCrolexguy are both absolutely trustworthy greys. As far as negotiating, their prices are already very good so I guess it depends. They have to make a profit after all.
