Margin for a grey dealer on specific SS pieces

[sallyhats]

2018/2019 has been a bust for walk-ins looking to pick up a SS watch and I don’t see much of it changing for the first half of the year. We have discussed this until we are blue in the face, but why are certain pieces such as the 116610LN not readily available for purchase, the grey market is only a couple of dollars above MSRP, heck you can even get a mint condition used for less than MSRP right now. Why would greys gobble up watches that barely have any margin. We can all admit that it’s not regular Joes purchasing all these SS pieces but why is the black sub so hard to get but the Yacht-Master sits in windows.
