If greys are deincentivising flipping, where is all this stock coming from... constant stream and even multiples of difficult references.

Not that it matters, since it's probably gone by now since you posted its location, LOL.
I wish that was the case mate - my AD in Bahrain is charging over $3000 over MSRP for Daytonas and over $2000 over MSRP for the BLNR and Hulk.

It's a tricky game they are playing as I'm sure they are sick of all these amateurs wanting to make as much profit as they the professionals are, so we have seen bids falling away recently, and yet they need inventory and are being starved of that too as flippers are being frozen out here. I think they still have deals with ADs to get many of the hot pieces as long as they bulk buy all the cold pieces too and Rolex is OK with that. It's the flippers Rolex want driven out, and the greys are actually on a similar page now.
