How old are you Dave?

All from AD’s here.

I did buy a Panerai from DSW as they were sold out at the boutiques.

Apwillard1986 · 15 April 2022, 09:44 PM

4 x Rolex (2014- 2015-2021-2022)
4 x Tudor (2 x 2017- 2018-2019)

I bought Rolex DJ36 and Explorer II black dial on grey market because my AD don’t want to sell me anything from Rolex on retail even though I have very good purchase history in last 3 years.

LateLearner · 15 April 2022, 10:10 PM

1 ladies AD
1 Sub-AD waiting list
2 inherited (‘65 Sub, ‘81 16750)

ADs only.

Rolexforthewin · 15 April 2022, 10:21 PM

10 and all from an AD.

Daytonaman799 · 15 April 2022, 10:21 PM

Used to buy grey when they were cheaper than retail and now AD. Great is only for vintage or trades. So 3 in recent years from AD. Rest grey/vintage.

Strummer25 · 15 April 2022, 10:26 PM

4 from AD

beshannon · 15 April 2022, 10:41 PM

All were bought from an AD

travisb · 15 April 2022, 11:26 PM

All from AD with the exception of two from grey but prior to the premiums and crazy prices.

Robf52 · 15 April 2022, 11:39 PM

AD only.

RoscoPico · 15 April 2022, 11:43 PM

Have bought over 40 watches (assorted brands) of which about 8 were Rolex.
Only 1 watch ever, my first purchase, was from an AD - an Omega Aqua Terra

Wee-Willie · 15 April 2022, 11:48 PM

2 from ADs..in 1986 & 1999
1 from DavidSW in 2022

TexEd · 16 April 2022, 12:01 AM

Three from AD's and three from gray market.

Carguy87 · 16 April 2022, 12:06 AM

One from AD so far, waiting for two more from AD’s currently. I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t buy a WG BLRO meteor dial from grey right now if I had the cash. I know the secondary premium is nuts but if I could afford it I’d pay it for that one and a couple other pieces to not have a wait.

TheWatchmen · 16 April 2022, 12:11 AM

4 from grey when prices were less than MSRP years ago.

3 in the last year or so from grey, all over MSRP. Didn't feel like waiting.

So, three different AD’s?

jrbar-on · 16 April 2022, 12:23 AM

One from AD (124060) and one from trusted seller 214270 (Mark II, 39mm)

Cheers,

Beto737 · 16 April 2022, 12:28 AM

All AD, except I had to have a 3186 Exp.II 16570. I found a naked one from a very trusted dealer. I still have it today five years later.

Sold my Hulk before the stampede, but not my Explorer. Go figure… I’m great at timing the market like that!

HHIslander · 16 April 2022, 12:31 AM

Over my lifetime, ~20 from AD if you include gifts.

None from a grey dealer.

Milehighmiracle · 16 April 2022, 12:49 AM

3 from AD (black Sub, Hulk, Pepsi) over the last 3.5 years. 0 from grey - I can’t stomach the premium. Minimal (less than $2k) other jewelry purchases.

ArtNouveau · 16 April 2022, 12:51 AM

My three current Rolex from AD. Years ago I bought an early DSSD from grey, and a Speedmaster Hesalite when they were still cheap from grey.

samuel019 · 16 April 2022, 01:06 AM

3 different ADs. Three different countries. Three different continents (so to speak).
