Am I the only one

Ask yourself...

Where did all this 'excess' currency come from to cause so many smart investors to buy up so very many goods of intrinsic value?

That is the entity to blame.

The cases had multiple watches to try on and the staff was very helpful. I’m trying to acquire a new timepiece to add to my collection and celebrate new accomplishments but this is very frustrating not being able to find or buy a watch. I’m not going to pay double the price to the grey market. I know it’s been discussed multiple times but by golly I’m frustrated! Why is it so hard to get a Rolex from a dealer?

Which watch are you looking for? Not all of them go for 2x MSRP at grey.

Like others said, you can go grey, look at other brands, or just wait. You're definitely not the only one who wants to buy a Rolex at MSRP, refuse to go grey or seek alternative, and then proceed to post an "Am I the only one?" post on watch forums, I think I've seen quite a few already.

You know there are plenty of other great brands out there right? This is the perfect time to expand your horizon a little bit and try something different. Give Omega a try and I think you'll be impressed.

Just a few minor changes..unless your really adamant about the intricacies and technical specs..

I bought a 16613 and 16803 submariner model recently and not complaining. Coulda been happy with a 2020 or 2021 but hey man, the way I see it, time flies by and in a few years it won't even matter if you are collector and appreciate the brand

I agree with this guy.

You're definitely not the only one.
