I'll take the "Pepsi Challenge" and pit my DavidSW against your AD any day of the week.

okay, ill take the challenge, but i don't know how we would do it exactly!

I guess:
Pick a watch you will seriously buy, then get your Grey market price. If my AD beats it you buy from him, fair?

Seriously, an AD pays Rolex for a watch at a wholesale cost. A grey market guy buys from an Ad at a discount, but the AD is still going to make something over cost. Now the Grey market guy has to make a small percentage also. So no matter what, the AD, if he wants to, can always beat the Grey market guy- cause he can sell it to you for the same price he would sell to the grey market guy! now, I'm certainly not saying all Ad's do this or that they shoud, but that's just easy math if they wanted to.

Back to my original post to this genteman's original question, shop around, AD's and Grey Market if you're comfortable with that and see what's out there. IF it was me, and it's close, I would go with an AD.
