Instead of saying “people shouldn’t buy grey,” it should be “stop liking these watches.”
Isn’t this all driven by demand? If that goes away then it all goes back to normal. Because given current production Grey is they only way some people are getting the watch they want. I’m not going to begrudge someone this Avenue if they really want a Rolex. And I’m not going to judge whether some people’s reasons for wanting the watch are less valid than someone else’s. Too much gatekeeping. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Hmmm. Well now there's a refreshing and novel point of view we haven't heard before.
But wait. All of us have been free to do just that very thing all along...but, unless I'm mistaken, it hasn't ensured anything, has it? Just curious if there's an actual solution or just another thread beating the same damn dead horse. |

I wonder if chicks on a Hermes forum whine and moan about secondary prices on Birkin bags.

You understand the grey market in nothing more than used watch dealers when it comes to Rolex. When you buy from an on-line seller you are buying a used Rolex watch with the warranty running in someone else's name. The only exception to this would be where the pre-owned seller is brokering new watches through an AD which AD holds back the cards and forwards them on when a sale is made. I know this has happened in the past, but I doubt it occurs much at all anymore with so risk on the AD's status. Think about it for a moment, if an AD sells to the used market, no one has any risk to take but the AD. Plus, there are so many loose ends, the re-seller, its employees, and the ultimate purchaser, all of whom can tip off Rolex. Thus, over time the AD has no bargaining room and is really at the mercy of the used market. It makes far better sense for an AD to sell to real customers for these reasons, inventory flies out the door upon receipt, hot models can be sold as bundled deals with other slow-moving products and the AD can attract and hold huge "whale" collectors being able to supply them with the hot models.
