Be more specific.

Its like asking anyone has any experience buying from US grey market dealer.

There are many so to give proper reference do you have a particular one you are asking about?

HK is one of the biggest grey markets in the world.

I have experienced selling to them new daytonas

They usually like to buy new and not preowned from my experience

I've had 1 good one and 1 not so good. Yea, as above, better to ask about a specific dealer.

In the book Selling the Crown, the author unearthed a 1960's memo from a Rolex agent in HK lamenting that he could sell 2x the watches he got. He also estimated that half of the Rolexes sent to Singapore were being forwarded on to the grey markets of HK and Japan at that time. So there is a long, long history of grey market Rolexes in HK!
