GMT Master II Blue Black Ref 116710BLNR, but the gray dealer
price is as high as the list price, of course gray dealer price is seasonal.

A. I think may be there think AD is always have Warranty
whereas gray dealer Rolex do not. As a matter of fact, both gray dealer Rolex
and AD Rolex is 100% the same, both can have 5 years international Rolex Warranty. Probably they like AD because the country
code of HK AD Rolex watch is “888” I think Rolex understand HK Chinese like
this triple Eight as good number. Previous HK Rolex Country Code was “400”.

Date Just model, and they have stock available for you. But for Submariner, GMT
Master and Explorer series, their price similar as AD’s price.

disadvantage of buying gray dealer Rolex?

margin is getting lower over these years, and if they take card, there will be
reduction of the profit by a few percent, so mostly they take cash.
