Rolex and other luxury watches and the grey market.

The "necessary evil."

Interesting article on the grey market. Apologies if this has been already posted. Cheers all.

Regards to the warranty following the watch, my newly purchased DJ2 is losing 3 minutes a day, the store where I bought it from says no problem but, like I say, we'll see.

White Gold Pepsi 20% off thanks to the Greys. If you want the "experience" of buying your dream watch in a beautiful store with a well-dressed salesman than that's wonderful, but I just personally want the watch at the best price.
