If you want a preview of ADs likely to lose their Rolex accounts in any future downsizing, just look for those that foster this kind of thinking…

At that point go grey and save the money if you don't want other watches. Porsche wont sell you a new GT3rs, Hermes wont sell you a Birkin without prior purchase history... thats just how it is love it or leave it. Will the market change? Maybe, but for now thats reality. YM and Dj are beautiful watches, If I wanted a Rolex I'd love a DJ until I waited on a hard to get piece. Or again, buy a nice one for your wife then when yours comes you'll have a nice his and hers set.....

This is all very true in the current market, and sound advice. It is how it is. Nothing we can do to change it. As for me, I’d rather do this, than buy second hand from a grey dealer. So far, I’ve gotten 2 watches that I wanted, and am waiting on a third. Patience is the key.
