If the advice is not to buy a Submariner from an AD then why would you buy one for more lolly on the grey?
@pjchling80885 ай бұрын
Because the ADs are still playing games with lollipop suckers. Basically they need you to spend 20-30k on other junk to “allocate” you one. They are hoarding them in safes; for now😂

The way he says it is that they are 9K retail. The cheapest he can find is £8.4 which gives you a £600 immediate loss if purchased at retail. If you purchased the same watch from GMG it would be a substantially greater loss. Sounds like he cut off his nose to spite his face with that statement for a slow seller on the grey market. They are most likely slow sellers because they are currently overpriced.

The "anywhere in the world" is a bit of a mute point if you're a UK buyer. The import fees pretty much negate any saving you might make and for most of these watches, probably make them more expensive than new. The cheapest 126610LN I could see on Chrono at the moment, 2024 full set, £10805. Taking away 2024 from the search dropped the price by roughly a grand. Naked watches were about £9K...Where did you find one for £8400?

Have to agree the grey market in the UK has the market sown up. As leaving Europe has cost buyers dearly in the UK, the grey market is capitalising on the this.
@MCJAMIE7415 ай бұрын
Agree on this, global prices aren’t all that relevant in this discussion. WHO is realistically buying from Asia in the UK for a watch?
@RocketDog735 ай бұрын
Most likely where the grey people are capitalising is by buying grey imports. Watches purchased outside of the UK and then not declared for taxes upon importation. Gives them an even greater profit margin.

If you’re only buying one Rolex sport buy the Submariner (no date) and enjoy a lifetime of wearing it and never having to doubt your purchase. Otherwise the 40mm Explorer 2 is great and so is the 36mm Oyster Perpetual… with a basic dial and indexes.

If you like the watch and want to wear it (as all watches should be) then buy it and enjoy it. Unless you can make a huge saving of a few thousand on the grey market. All of my pieces tend to go for over RRP so I just buy them from the AD. Not in any hurry to spend over list at a grey market dealer. Stock is coming back - I bought a GMT Master II Zombie from the AD window whilst walking past just over a month ago and spotted an AD abroad with over 110 pieces in stock.
