One of my buddies has gotten his Rolexes from grey market and they're all legit. Just have to do your due diligence, go to Chron24

only buy from a trusted source
I would have never gotten my Daytona from the Rolex AD so I had to go grey or just give up on getting the watch thankfully I know a guy so it made it much easier and he really hooked it up for me when he found someone wanting to sell

If you're buying your watch greymarket, just make sure you use escrow and you give yourself a few days to validate its a real watch.

Nothing wrong with grey market, just find a reputable place. I have heard even Chrono24 has had fakes on their site before.

I had it polished a couple of years ago when I had it serviced by the Rolex service center in Dallas. I may have it polished again next year but then again maybe not. My GMT II is my daily watch so I'm not concerned with a showroom shine on my it but I don't want it to look horrible either.

Used Rolex prices have been dropping, I really don't think they're as much an investment as they are something to enjoy that you know will hold their value or increase in value a little bit.

If you can get your hands on some of the more desirable models through an AD like the Batman, Pepsi, Sub (LV), or Daytona... then that would be great. Although it's so hard to get those models to begin with.

I do not want to get too into it, but it was acquired new from an AD and then given to me. We did not pay $550-600k for it, like the grey market has it priced for.

Stainless Steel Submariners, Pepsi GMT, any steel Daytona (but good luck getting one new from an AD without a history, average wait is over 3 years)

Pretty sure the waiting time is a lot longer. The 100 signifies the 100th anniversary of Le Mans, and only 100 were made.
