It looks trashy when brand new Submariners with stickers were all over the Internet for almost 20% off retail.

Now those watches are trading at or over retail on the grey side. Much better look.

Rolex has always seen the grey market as a another distribution channel...just not officially of course. Now it's just a lot more controlled than what it was in terms of pricing.

I am of the opinion that it looks more trashy for a brand when you can't walk into one of their authorized dealers and purchase their product, at any price.
