Well to a certain point. Not ALL are bad or the big bad evil in our hobby. I dont ever remember reading or hearing people complain when they were selling thousands "under" MSRP. Some Greys just adapt and roll with the market better. I mentioned a few posts above that I have went Grey and a will probably do so in the future. Well maybe-See that comment

If we were in circa pre 2014-2015 you'd never read a bad word word about Greys but "some" have been bad to our hobby as of the recent Rolex madness the last 6 years or so. But thats to be expected when we have new Grey sellers/wannabe watch dealers popping up left and right.

I remember for me when the core group was made up of David, Oscar, Tony, Patrick, and Than. I have bought from all 5. Some experiences better than others. But now look......................

Therein lies the problem IMO

Exactly. I remember those times also. All these grey dealers were heroes here. They would buy a Rolex at a discount from an AD and then mark it up and sell it to us here and we would still get it below retail or at retail. Everyone was happy. Then the economy went ballistic in 2016 and money became rampant in everyone’s hands. A bad thing? No of course not but when that happens people buy luxury items and Rolex happens to be the most popular so the demand skyrocketed on them and that changed the pricing. If you have 10 of something and 40 people want it then pricing is going to be affected on it. That seems to be something our friend Rolex16 doesn’t understand or is unable to grasp.

That’s an observation not an attack. You have not been able to grasp this free market explanation as to what’s happening.


Let me give you an example of an attack. just to help you out.

“That guy sure is unethical for conducting his business practices in a way I don’t approve.”

That’s a personal attack.
