  • Hong Kong's most concentrated grey market shops/dealers on one stretch of road (250metres/800ft stretch).
    Blew my mind when just 1 shop had 3 different rare platinum daytonas (Arabic ,Pave, diamond baguette numerasmls)
    The next time you want to shop the grey market in Hong Kong, you'll know where to go!

    Maybe someone should start a redit forum and convince everyone to stop buying rolex gray/secondary market. Someone is buying them at inflated prices and it keeps the bubble going.

    Is better price to buy a watch in Macao or Hong Kong? What you suggest? Better negotiate as far those stores in Hong Kong vs Macao pawn shops . I am coming to visit both places in about two weeks . I am willing to buy a watch . Thanks

      I haven’t really looked at resale watches in Macao, so I can’t really say. General rule of thumb, do your own due diligence wherever you’re at!

    These videos make me think that most of the hype watches are owned and traded solely amongst grey dealers and the rare end customer.

    • @watchjelly
      @watchjelly  2 роки тому +2

      Yup. And that a reasonably high percentage of watches allocated at the AD ends up in the grey market no matter what. It’s just a matter of where the price is and original owners will let them all go

    Can we be assured if we buy from grey market? Any clues.

    • @watchjelly
      @watchjelly  2 роки тому

      If you want absolute 100% certainty, that’s the AD.
      For grey market - I suggest going to a dealer that is reputable and those that you trust. Make absolutely sure they are a registered business such that watches they sell you, if proven to be fake, measures can be taken to enforce the law against this. Again, depends on the city where you’re in.
      But if you’re talking about sports models that are already discontinued, then this is a moot point :)

    Thanks for the video. Is there a risk of these grey market shops selling fake Rolex intentionally or unintentionally?

    • @watchjelly
      @watchjelly  2 роки тому +1

      Not intentionally unless they want to risk business closure, prison time, and a permanent record which strongly diminishes their chance of ever setting up a similar business again

    The grey market is being supplied mainly by the corrupt ADs in HK. That’s why I’ve switched out of Rolex to other brands who respect their true clients.

    There is no shortage of Rolex, just the shortage at the A.D. I would be willing to bet that the average steel Rolex spends less than 1 day at the A.D. then off to his "brother in-law" to be sold as used at grey market price.

    All these Rolex watches sold buy the Rolex AD to people who’s only intention is to flip them. If you could get a Rolex watch from an authorised retailer then you wouldn’t miss out and the grey market would die because no one in their right mind would pay over retail. Why would they when they could buy one brand new from Rolex. I thought Monopolies were illegal. And Rolex, what company would deliberately not produce something someone wanted? If you want to make and sell something for someone then how about you start making them so people can get them, i.e your watches, Rolex. Maybe there needs to be another Quartz crisis and we can all say to Rolex, “Go F yourself, Rolex”.

      Rolex are very common in Asia specifically hk, sg , Japan... they are genuine. Only in the US are they thought of as exclusive.
