Maybe someone should start a redit forum and convince everyone to stop buying rolex gray/secondary market. Someone is buying them at inflated prices and it keeps the bubble going.

These videos make me think that most of the hype watches are owned and traded solely amongst grey dealers and the rare end customer.
@watchjelly2 жыл бұрын
Yup. And that a reasonably high percentage of watches allocated at the AD ends up in the grey market no matter what. It’s just a matter of where the price is and original owners will let them all go

Thanks for the video. Is there a risk of these grey market shops selling fake Rolex intentionally or unintentionally?
@watchjelly2 жыл бұрын
Not intentionally unless they want to risk business closure, prison time, and a permanent record which strongly diminishes their chance of ever setting up a similar business again mothership.sg/2022/05/rolex-fake-far-east-plaza-batman/

@watchjelly2 жыл бұрын
If you want absolute 100% certainty, that’s the AD. For grey market - I suggest going to a dealer that is reputable and those that you trust. Make absolutely sure they are a registered business such that watches they sell you, if proven to be fake, measures can be taken to enforce the law against this. Again, depends on the city where you’re in. But if you’re talking about sports models that are already discontinued, then this is a moot point :)

There is no shortage of Rolex, just the shortage at the A.D. I would be willing to bet that the average steel Rolex spends less than 1 day at the A.D. then off to his "brother in-law" to be sold as used at grey market price.

If you think about it how do ADs survive if they sell nothing to the public. Of course they collude with the grey market to sell at hiked up prices. There are tons of Rolex in the safes.

All these Rolex watches sold buy the Rolex AD to people who’s only intention is to flip them. If you could get a Rolex watch from an authorised retailer then you wouldn’t miss out and the grey market would die because no one in their right mind would pay over retail. Why would they when they could buy one brand new from Rolex. I thought Monopolies were illegal. And Rolex, what company would deliberately not produce something someone wanted? If you want to make and sell something for someone then how about you start making them so people can get them, i.e your watches, Rolex. Maybe there needs to be another Quartz crisis and we can all say to Rolex, “Go F yourself, Rolex”.
