Hello I'm new to TRF I am trying to decide between an iwc and ulyses nardin the offical AD in Pakistan is giving me 5500$ for portofino chronograph and 7000$ for maxi marine by ulysee nardin while when I searched the non rolex for sale forums here the prices are quite low how is that possible? what's the difference is it different in every country ? I know the guys here are selling preowned but some are offerings pieces which are almost new so why the difference and so much difference appreciate it if some could help

Welcome Mutee, do some searching for "gray dealers" here on TRF and it should explain it pretty well.

Yes they will honor it, of course every watch ad you find here will be different and have different circumstances so I can't make a blanket statement, but if it is within warranty it should be no problem. If you buy from a trusted seller here you will have no issues, except more extra money in your pocket!

I know that in the US grey market you can find amazing deals on Ulysses Nardin. Keep your options open!!!

Welcome Mutee

Check the 'who's who' section and look for sellers with frequent positive feedback. I have personally dealt with Davidsw twice and he is as good as any. That said, we have many reputable sellers here and you should educate yourself and make the decision on your own.

AD's are more expensive than resellers. Check out the 'Who's Who' under Classifieds for references. Good luck!
