Grey Dealer

I'm curious to how Grey Dealers get their watches and at what percent discount. Any clue? ~Hien

It's my understanding Grey Dealers acquire their inventory from authorized dealers directly, and the AD's sell off their older inventory to these grey dealers.

For example, my TOG came from a Rolex AD in Paris, France and I purchased it from a Grey Dealer.

I'm sure the Grey Dealer's discount is based on a multitude of factors, similar to what an individual would obtain. For example, if a Grey Dealer is willing to purchase 20 watches per month from an AD, this Grey Dealer would obtain a larger discount than say a Grey Dealer who calls wanting one specific watch and this is a one-time transaction.
