For the most part, even before the current AD availability issue, I did just what you did when I wanted a certain model that was not readily available.

I was on the fence for 3 years since the release of 124060, but woke up one day wonky and walked into the grey dealer and rest is history

A very smart move. These are so hard to source from an AD.

Good move, congrats!

I’ve gone both AD and Gray. Besides buying a hype piece (Daytona etc) at significantly over sticker, if you’re buying something for a bit over but it’s available now with no shenanigans, begging, and buying things you don’t want to get in good, then just go gray.
This does not apply to the heavy hitters who get what they want and have incredible AD relationships. This is for those new in the game or those who aren’t big time and just want a few nice watches.

My AD got me a JC Deepsea and a Skydweller TT. Been asking for a 40mm day date, a submariner, a stainless skydweller, YM 42 yellow, and a Daytona meteorite. Followed up multiple times. Only call I got was in a 36mm day date. Eventually you give up and start buying gray. Best part is the prices weren’t far off and you can enjoy the watches immediately. Life is short!

Once the spread between retail and grey closes to 20% and lower i would buy grey. I currently cannot justify 30-40% markup for convenience of buying now.

Yeah pretty much summed up with the no shenanigans, ain't no heavy hittter nor have a relationship with any AD. Just felt paying abit higher reasonates with me and the condition of the watch speaks to me
