I do my fair amount of business with AD but if wait is going to be months and months the wait just doesn’t make sense.
1. Small premium?!?!? About 400%.

2. Months and months?!? You mean years and years?

This lines up with my anecdotes as well for the no-date

Grey prices for 126610LNs right now are around 15k USD.

Out the door retail price for me inclusive of tax is about 11k.

If the grey price drops much more they won't be worth flipping for most. If one wants one the markup isn't as absurd as others.

This sounds about right. Over a hundred GMTs a year, as some posters suggest, seems crazy high. If that were so, every decent repeat customer could have one in a month or two at most maybe even a few weeks.

I don't think so.

That's just 2-3 a month.

Maybe even low

The "wait list" isn't 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8..... 23 you get your watch. It's 1,2, 87(is my buddy), 310(some jack off cleb that spent $125K), 3, 4, 4503 ( hot chick to get a date) etc... it's who ever the F they want. If your Joe bag of donuts at your number 210... it could take years. The day they need to make payroll or rent and no-one is spending... They go on the shelf first then will call you. Then it will goto the first person who has cash.

Go ahead prove me wrong.
