Even if Rolex prices is crashing, it will only affect those flippers. those genuine buyers will just buy at a better price for their collection. I am waiting for a chance to hoot my 3rd Rolex when the time is right. :)

Can explain the diff? Sorry noob.
Consignment basis is where you leave the watch at a grey dealer shop and let them sell your watch on your behalf for a “fee”. The grey dealer does not pay you until the watch is sold to a customer. The risk is less to the grey dealer but the margins also smaller. You will usually discuss and reach an agreement with that grey dealer of how much you can sell the watch for minus the service fee.
some grey dealer who have less capital are adverse to the risk of watch selling price fluctuations. As you can see recently Panda peak at around 70-71k for BNIB and they might bring in the stock at 65-66k but now the price have plummeted to 55-56k BNIB. So if they have too much inventory and didn’t sell the earlier stock they brought In, in time, they are possibly staring at a potential loss. Or they could hold onto the watch until market moves back up but it may take quite a while. Big grey dealers like Bright Time should have holding power and not sell the existing stocks they have at extremely low margins or at a loss by waiting for the right market level to sell those watches which they have took in as inventory at higher price than current market

Question for those who already build a ‘profile’ with AD, once you get your sports model, do you need to ‘top up’ by buying another unpopular model before getting your next sports allocation?

Most of the time yes, but also depends which sports model.

For sure you can buy PP off the shelf.

The question is: are the available PP watches the ones that you actually want or can afford?
