What specific info are you gathering?
Cause the answers to your questions are just shop,online, overseas etc....better to make a poll because unless you elaborate further...its the simple answers you are gonna get.

First time, better buy from the local AD eventhough the price slightly higher, but safe. Then once you get familiar, can try the Pre-owned watch from this forum or local store. Then when you are boring with all these approach, then it is time to take higher risk and source from online store, of course you get better discount, and much better excitement, cause you will wait and wait, when it finally arrive, you feel happy and satisfaction with your judgment to get something you dream of. If it does not arrive, then you will  :Scolding:...and still feel the other side of excitement, where you will share with us yr experience... :Cheers:

Just my thoughts... :thumbsup:

Haha .. Thanks a lot on the advices given. It's just that Im not so familiar with the market at Malaysia, thats why I posted. Ya, Im considered new to watch collecting and Im still learning. I been into this for almost 5years already and had been constantly looking around, and learning ... Its nice to share ideas/thoughts!

Thanks again guys ...

ive bought a few grey market watches online. Some used ones also.
So far they have been reliable. The only thing is I dont like the waiting part.  :P
But if I were going to buy something more expensive, I would go for an AD. Not worth the risk in my opinion.

Ya, agreed, but I dealt before, with a grey dealer at his house. To me, I just dont feel safe to deposit a big chunk of money to someone that I never even see before.

Hi all,

I am new to this grey markets and i am thinking that the discounts are great especially for the more expensive watches.

Can anyone whom have bought from this sites give me suggestion on which site is the most reliable ?

Feels funny parting with alot of money without seeing the dealer
