Filing a chargeback (wtf) and then going to overpay for the same watch at a grey dealer - just because you have to wait a couple of weeks until the AD can release it.

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with what happened. The dealer is in no way forcing you to buy the watch. He offered you the watch and one of the terms was simply that they keep it in the showroom for a couple of weeks, that's all. Where is the issue. There is none.

Go to any AD, look at all the watches they have in the window, all the brands. If you want to buy a watch, you get the watch from the window. Some of them has probably sat there for several months (even years) and had plenty of people try them on.

You think because you buy a watch through a grey dealer it's "more new"? No, it's even less because it changed even more hands and likely has even further handling marks.

This whole discussion really makes me

Easy buddy, I’m not gonna buy from gray like ever never. It’s unnecessary and a lot more risk to take comparing to AD.

I also don’t get why some people buy or encourage others to buy from gray… Not to mention the gray market actually ask for even more money. And it could be a Frankenstein watch (especially for watches like Rolex which don’t have open case back) unless you open the case and have specialist to examine it. But are we really gonna make it this complicated? All these risks and much more price for what? I’m not like in a rush to put it on my wrist for a show or something…
