Rolex SD 43 new buyer...grey or AD

[martyjanderson]

Have only started "collecting" swiss watches but want to add a rolex SD 43 to my omega and 2 breitlings.

I visited my AD and they said it could be a few weeks to months but nothing more that. I bought a tudor pelagos 42 at the rolex AD the same day that I visited them for the first time.

A few days later they texted me saying they will be in touch when they have something that is what im might be interested in. I told them sub, no date sub and SD 43 and possibly a deepsea. They didnt have a deepsea to try on but I have 2 large watches, omega sm chronograph and avenger seawolf so I think I could probably swing it but know for sure Id be thrilled with a sub or sd 43. I plan on both eventually.

I have seen a couple SD 43 from very reputable grey market dealers with boxes papers etc with most of the warranty left and great shape (basically brand new) for same price as AD price.

Should I wait for AD to get back to me or just get it grey. Im in no real hurry but I dont want to be waiting for a year and still not knowing. I visited the AD only 2 weeks ago so its not exactly been any length of time...

Thanks I wont buy sub grey as the prices for anything in great shape is far above msrp vs sd 43 where the grey market prices arent nearly as inflated.

Thanks.
