Enter authorized dealer price and grey-market price to see whether the discount looks strong, fair or weak. Educational guidance only.
The calculator compares grey price with AD price, then soft-adjusts for set completeness. A grey price below AD can look strong; a big premium over AD looks weak unless demand is extreme.
Some watches trade above AD for long periods. A “premium” is not automatically a bad purchase if that is the real market.
Is grey market cheaper than AD?Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Hot models can trade above retail for long periods.
What is a good grey market discount?It depends on the model. Compare recent sold prices for the same reference, not only AD MSRP.
Does full set matter?Usually yes. Watch-only deals often deserve a lower price.
Should I always wait for AD allocation?That depends on patience, relationship with the dealer and whether the grey premium is acceptable to you.
