face the facts

you will not get the in demand SS watches unless you have a 'relationship' with an AD - yes, that is hard to hear but is a fact of life

how to get a 'relationship' with an AD?

there are no hard and fast rules but if you buy less in demand watches it certainly helps and some AD's who are also jewellers see jewellery purchases as part of the overall scheme?

if you only ever go into your AD to try and buy in demand SS watches you are going nowhere in the lists

many on forums such as TRF say lists do not exist in the real world and money gets you what you want (typical Yank attitude) - lists are very, very real

what Ad's in the UK want is for watches to go to people who will keep/enjoy the watches

the 'grey' market dealers are like vultures/parasites preying on the vulnerable - they do not work on a level 'playing field' in that they can legally sell a watch over the Rolex MRRP

maybe Rolex could turn the tables and for a time remove the MMRP and allow dealers to sell watches at the 'market price' - this would kill the greys overnight

so at Hulk at say £9.5K

ceramic Daytona at £18K

the watches would sell at those prices in the Uk
