In regards to the subject: Currently Grey Dealers seem to prefer Consignment vs buying more stock they struggle to sell immediately. Even the dealers that were claiming a few months back they would never do consignments. Dealers will only do trade ins if they can slaughter you on the price ( ie you give them a 15500 and get a 116500 with no cash) so then they can sell the 15500 and make profit.

I know it sounds kinda funny but 1 glance at my watch collection- I’ve got Piaget, Hublot & recently got a frederique constant world time. I spend probably too much time trying in watches at ADs & greys & as you can imagine, value may drop into the conversation but perhaps 1% is about that and the other 99% is about the watch etc

I got into AP around 8 years ago before all the hype as well
