All watches come from AD's. Rolex makes so many that AD's can't sell them and have to sell them to grey dealers.
Because they buy a lot of pieces the grey dealers get huge discounts from the AD's hence their cheaper prices. All about supply and demand.
Obviously the grey dealers will settle for a smaller margin, not having a brick and mortar store.
You really need a good relation with an AD to get a similar discount.
