It’s a shame because the brand name and the beauty and romance of a Rolex watch is truly amazing. In fact, a friend of mine regularly buys Daytonas from that grey dealer I spoke to. There is no scarcity for the rich - they can afford the grey and don’t care. There is only scarcity for those who can’t afford the wait or the grey price. Of course, not all ADs are as described above, and although nothing above is all that surprising, it’s a fresh reminder that scarcity is driven by Rolex but unfortunately targeted at the middle income class. This insatiable and never ending demand for Rolex watches is an endless loop that feeds itself because it will create more demand as the high price in the grey market shows how precious and unattainable these watches are, and this in turn benefits Rolex. The grey market dealer also said even if Rolex knows this, Rolex doesn’t quite care (even if they appear as if they do), because Rolex is the one responsible for intentionally cutting supply to create an impression of higher demand in the first place. The ADs apparently also require proof that the grey market dealer has sold the watches before selling more watches to them. Inevitably, all this means that they have to sell directly to grey market dealers who can keep paying high price and gobble up watches quickly to make up for the shortfall and keep the Rolex stock coming. This means that they will have to find a way to pay for the same or higher level of expenses with significantly less Rolex watches. Don’t get me wrong, they are still getting watches, just less. However, in recent years (whether due to Covid19 or not), ADs have seen dramatic cuts to their supplies. When AD stores used to get 400-500 watches a year (edited: not month), they have no problems supporting the expenses of their stores and could even give discount to clients off retail price. Grey market dealers make orders directly with ADs. TLDR ADs need to sell to grey dealers to survive and Rolex doesn’t care. Just thought I’d share with fellow Rolex fans here, no hate. Went to try on a couple watches with a renowned grey market dealer in my area and had a little chat about how they are able to “order” brand new Rolex watches.
Sidebar photo idea courtesy of /u/omega703 If you're looking to buy a Rolex online, try this list of well-known sellers. "Hi I'm Steve from RandomStrapCo, here are some pics of our new strap" is 100% fine, but thinly-veiled promotional posts from throwaways are not appreciated and will be removed. Promotional posts from vendors are fine, as long as you're upfront about who you are, participate in some discussion, and don't spam the sub with multiple threads. And no posts from toilets or moving cars, you savages! Memes and shitposts will generally be deleted unless they're actually funny or create relevant discussion. Posts that are easily Google-able will be removed at mods' discretion, as well as basic questions that have been frequently asked in the past (such as, " Are Rolex watches good investments?"). This is a place to discuss Rolex and Tudor watches.
