So for me a couple of points here that I thrashed out with him:
1) He's not going to play the whole AD game so RRP is out of the question
2) I put the SS Daytona in the same league as a PM watch for a number of reasons including grey price, status, availability etc.
Even though the 126500 is a SS watch, it is not the same as a Sub or GMT. Anyone who gets one from their AD has spent the grey money equivalent indirectly. Furthermore, if someone likes the watch and cannot get one from their AD then you are buying a £25K watch, you are not buying a £13k watch + premium. The reason I say that is because if you were to sell it in 6 months (assuming market is unchanged), you'll get your money back. You wont be selling it for £13K. So personally, I struggle with the comments 'I'd never pay grey money for a Daytona' because for me you are buying an unobtainable watch at current market value that holds its money...
