I don’t know marketing as many seem to have a knowledge of here but there are numerous comments on both sides some will say grey dealers are helping the AD and some will say that Rolex would prefer to eliminate them? I don’t know what is correct, all just speculation unless Rolex shows us the business plan?

For me, I know that grey dealers have been much easier to deal with than the AD and the grey always has what I am looking for.


Side note,
Yesterday, I walked into an AD and the salesperson bum rushed me at the door insisting to help me, cutting to the chase I asked if there was a Pepsi available, she said no with a constipated look on her face and quickly followed with “can I interest you in something else’s? I was 4 feet into the store, and had the salesperson standing toe to toe with me trying to sell me anything, i never even made it to the Rolex case...it was so uncomfortable I turned and walked out.


I’ll take the grey dealer please.

It's just the flippers Rolex want to eliminate, greys serve a useful purpose in getting rid of DJs and TTs etc, and until they too are flying off the shelves they are not a primary concern.
