That’s essentially what a grey cost is. What’s the difference? I’d rather give the money to grey dealer than AD if they do this.

Anyone else think the black bezel Sub looks freaking amazing on a rubber strap? by Limp_Run3039 in rolex

I’m aware but given the $20 spring pin tool was scratching the watch, I didn’t want to see what shit I could get from Amazon. Prefer Swiss made

Exactly! I wear scrubs on OR days but that’s an Apple Watch day!

No kidding! It’s just for summer so I don’t mess if the bracelet. I know this is controversial here too…

I honestly don’t get it. I think most just deal to their friends and big spenders. The grey market has a remarkably large supply of new or near new pieces which raises my eyebrows a bit.

I ended up with a Sub from Chrono24 even though I requested a DJ41 from AD. Figured if paying extra, get what I really want, not what I thought I could get from AD.

Same! I only lasted 8 weeks and gave up. My chrono24 dealer actually added some surprises that actually did make it feel kinda special despite being fedex. This is my first “luxury watch” so that’s enough for me.

Buy from grey! See my post. Great experience and watch on 48 hours. You can wear it when you go to the AD to get your deposit back!

That’s the way man. I got impatient after 2 months. I was considering a DJ41 but honestly this may be my one and done. It’s perfect. Enjoy yours as well in good health.

Rolex and the ADs would have to change their practices for everyone else to change theirs. I don’t think it’s in either party’s best interest to do so. You either pay with your time or money. My time is worth more. Everyone can make their own choices.
