Congrats!

However, your title for this thread seems a bit of an oxymoron.
So long as folks pay over retail in the grey market for these watches, the so called “AD games” will continue. Remember, a lot of these watches are leaving the AD by whatever means and going straight to the secondary market.
We need to get back to a time when greys served to offer a great opportunity to buy a watch at a discount, not a premium.

You're right actually, but i just woke up on the wrong side of the bed one day and decided today is the day and plonked in.

It would be a mammoth effort from everyone to get the market down to what was previously the norm, just my 2 cents
