"Don't hate the player, Hate the game"

This anti grey movement around here recently has me scratching my head. When the grey's were consistently below MSRP you all loved them. Now supply/demand has shifted and you hate them.

In my humble opinion the greys are not the problem. Here's why!

ALL ROLEX WATCHES GO FROM PRODUCTION FACILITY TO AD'S!

I place the bulk of the blame on Rolex not controlling there dealer network. Not using any popular grey names here but lets just say joesgwatches.com ALWAYS has the hottest newest models, as do all other greys.

Why might you ask? Because they have relationships with AD's and the AD's make 5/10 watch sales with one call probably over MSRP and old stock gone. That's the issue, but its a double edged sword.

The market is good now and AD's can't get enough watches to sell BUT when that's not the case if they sever relationships with Grey's they will be crying to Rolex that they can't meet quotas.

Greys serve a purpose and now its frowned upon but at some point it will be welcomed, as is life. Don't hate the Greys they provide a service and make a profit, god bless America!

I have always took the simple approach to not purchase over MSRP and figure out getting a watch on my own terms. Some don't mind paying the premium and getting what they want when they want it, kudos to the Grey for providing that service. It's very easy as a consumer to vote with your wallet.

Am I somewhat frustrated I can't go buy a batman today for instant gratification, I guess. But as the phys majors will tell you if that's the case the batman would be more like robin!

I am not defending the Grey's I am defending capitalism, and anyone who has the guts to be in business!
