Lol

I too was waiting and finally got fed up. Grey market for that piece is AP money brother, and I took my own advice. Instead of overpaying 24k for a Daytona, I went Royal Oak for 19,200. Couldn't be happier.

There is no grey dial version in the 116500 the poster meant grey market.

Time is money and when you've got more money than time, this is the logical approach.

Yes, Martin knew that - you didn't get his humour.

For that kind of money you could go for a VC if you like it.

Some numbers make sense - there is the convenience facet to consider. So for each of us accepting a markup is different.

A grey markup of maybe 5-10% is palatable - others will tolerate 100%.

But the OP is jumping the shark methinks - it’s no longer relevant - we get it, people are going grey.

And let’s see the pics

At the end of the day...your money, your time and your desires

The balance of the 3 will dictate what u do or what anyone does
