Grey Market Question

[two tone]

Maybe some of you who are dealers and/or jewelers can answer this.
Why would an AD selll a high-demand watch like a Daytona to a grey market dealer to re-sell? The AD could easily sell that watch quickly at MSRP, without haggle. Why sell, possibly below MSRP, to another jeweler?
I never understood that.
Any thoughts, or true facts?

Probably the AD has to give up some SS Daytonas to get the "Grey Market" dealer to take the slow movers.

Hello Bob
When you buy a package, you get the good, the bad and the ugly Just as an expression ... you get the Daytona, you get the 2tone Sub and you get the Cellini...
No AD would want to sell only the Daytona... Nor a reseller would want to buy only the Cellini...
I hope that helped...

When you buy a package do you have a min $ per package or a min $ per year?

Just curious!!
