Can I offer the AD’s salesperson a cash “Tip” on the side for helping me get my watch

Why wouldn’t you buy gray if you wanted to expedite?

Shouldn't be illegal but in this day and age who knows. I do not think it is an ethical practice for people at ADs to seek or accept money to them personally from customers for preference of allocations.

Maybe because greys are the problem and we should not feed them?

Just Pay the $5,000.00 to a Gray so they can use it to pay an AD and keep the cycle going!

Genius idea!

You realize that the market is the way it in part to the AD's "reserving" the best for repeat customers and partly because they are funneling the desired watches out the back to the Gray Dealers for Ca$h.

Again though, no one is coming to your home and forcing you to buy a Rolex... if you don't like the process, don't buy. I won't buy anything "NEW" from a Gray, only used models that I want to add to my collection.

It seems that many members of this forum seem perfectly fine with greys procuring watches from ADs using all sorts of subterfuges, some actually encouraging others to go the grey route
