Indeed.

I mean, my goodness, how could I see pics like that from (reputable, in most cases) grey market dealers and not think it's speculative hoarding to manipulate market prices?

Again, to those who'll call me out on this... I acknowledge that this is an unregulated market, so it's not "illegal" to practice price manipulation. Doesn't change the fact that it happens, and it hurts actual collectors / people who would actually wear these watches, which in turn I'd argue hurts the brand.
