Currently own 2 Rolexes, all from my AD. All the other Rolexes I had over the years and didn’t like, bought from my AD, sold back to my AD.

6 from Mayors
4 from grey dealers or forum members

DavidSW and Takuya were the grey dealers because they are both bulletproof.

1 from (sort of AD). Prior AD that lost status. Used watch from customer that bought from them when they were AD.

Next two I want are discontinued, so I have to go grey.

During the current situation (scarcity and Covid) I’ve only purchased from my Rolex AD - Coral OP in 2021 and Daytona in 2020. I refuse to pay more than MSRP and patiently wait for buying opportunities to present themselves.

Cheers!

I bought my 116000 in August of 2020, pre-owned from a dealer. It was a full kit and in mint condition. I paid about 15% below AD MSRP. Literally two weeks later, Rolex discontinued my watch and overnight the prices shot up over 25% from what I paid for mine. Now the prices are almost double what I paid.20220410_092047.jpg
