Where do you find the best deal for grey market pieces?

Hi, I’m wondering where you buy your watches online? I’ve been waiting a long time for pieces im interested in and people tell me to go grey for only a $1000 more. I’m wondering what sites you use as the ones ive seen online are well over $1000 for a SD43 or submariner and that’s without duty or any taxes. I’m located in BC Canada if anyone knows any local sellers that would be awesome! Thank you

What "pieces" are you referring to? These people can't be talking Rolex, Patek and AP.

Sea Dweller 43, Submariner, Submariner Date. I’ve posted about waiting over a year for a submariner and I’ve got quotes of $1000-$1500

You don't either wait for AD or pay to much. If you can afford it and don't want to wait then go for it. I would never pay more then MSRP but I have patience.

Hey Sam, a lot of folks here go to the trusted sellers like DavidSW for the pieces you’ve mentioned. There is also Tony from sdwatches and Chase from nashvillewatches. I’d check out the pricing on their website and contact them if you have a question on their pricing.

Here on TRF in the classifieds. It's usually MSRP plus tax plus $1-2K though for those you mention.

Take a look at the classifieds here and see the trusted sellers, variety of which offer the watches you like at the going market prices. Do a search on the trusted seller's name and you will see many people have bought and left positive feedbacks on them, you can then choose the one that you are most comfortable with.

Hi Sam, you could also check out canwatchco.com since you’re in Canada you won’t have to deal with us exchange rates and import duties
They also have a list of trusted sellers I believe. Good luck
