Mint Milgauss Z Blue from grey earlier this year (pre-owned under MSRP). I have a paid-for DJ36 and a BB GMT waiting for me at an out-of-state AD that I am trying to build a relationship with.

DTap · 8 September 2019, 10:44 AM

Glad to see most are paying retail!

Should have put an option for being stuck on a waiting list.

ltmgeller · 8 September 2019, 10:50 AM

went grey for the RG YM and YG YMII. can't get ss from an AD and won't Pay grey prices.

samsmart · 8 September 2019, 11:07 AM

I had a great summer. Picked up a few watches after a year or so of not buying a single watch.

Deep Sea, 42mm ExpII, ceramic bluesy with flat blue dial, 116710 & 116713, and a 114060.

So for me never will go ad again got my new watch a 2019 new with stickers only paid £500 more than from the ad.

This was very distressing to read. I feel your pain. May I ask which city this AD resides in?

All six from AD. The five modern ones are from the same AD here in tax-free NH.

Always AD - best deals around

I bought my DayC White June 2018 at the Rolex boutique in Sydney; waiting for almost 2 years.

TswaneNguni · 8 September 2019, 03:26 PM

Been a busy Rolex year in 2019 .
Also bought a few in 2018.
Before that, last bought a Rolex in 2013.(sold and bought a few other brands in the interim)

We are lucky with the many ADs we have and a bit more stock compared to the "major centres" of the world .
ADs are also mostly honourable and have never been suggested into hanky panky deals .

2019:(5 ADs)

PM x1 (My wife's account)
Black SkyD
SS Sports models x4 (One for my son )
DJ41s x2

...and also a PAM 932 Mediterraneo .

Rolex budget spent for the foreseeable future and only waiting for a blro, which may take a while ...(placed my early order at the only AD I do not really trust anymore and only later placed my interest at another AD)

HK Islandboy · 10 September 2019, 12:20 AM

No Rolexes in 2019, but my most recent Rolex purchases have been from greys - and I expect my next will be also

thepoopologist · 10 September 2019, 01:15 AM

When I visit ADs they will ask where I bought my watches. There’s visible disgust when I say grey market. I know this is not reflective of all AD behavior however the ones in the the metro area I’m in can only muster their enthusiasm for those who come in ready to buy the TT datejusts they have on display.

Got a 116500 last October after a 2 month wait. Gearing up to request a 116610lv in the coming months and expect a quick turnaround.

My AD is the best :-)

Hawkeye1 · 10 September 2019, 01:49 AM

Sadly none for me. One of my ADs had a black face Explorer II back in March that I passed on (regret) and haven't seen a SS Sport model since...

vesnyder · 10 September 2019, 03:59 AM

Mine was a TT CHNR, so I guess mine does not qualify.

2nastie · 10 September 2019, 04:19 AM

Both?

Explorer from an AD. Daytona C from a grey.

Jabbo84 · 10 September 2019, 04:22 AM

....BLNR oyster February from grey
....SS C Daytona white September from AD
I’ll take em anyway I can get em

brandrea · 10 September 2019, 04:24 AM

AD.

I’ve only ever bought grey once for a boutique only watch that I couldn’t buy from an AD.

samson66 · 10 September 2019, 04:38 AM

Not sure if this is for Rolex specifically or not, but my two purchases over the last year:

Omega Speedmaster - Grey
Tudor GMT - AD

jonathon555 · 10 September 2019, 04:39 AM

Gmt Pepsi jubilee
Gmt Batman jubilee
2018 deep blue

That’s about it

m j b · 10 September 2019, 04:48 AM

The poll should have an option for buying a SS sports model that wasn't a Rolex. Because a lot of us simply refuse to pay a premium (over MSRP) for a Rolex, either used or from grey.
