^Which is why it’s (far) more cost effective for us mere mortals to pay overs in the grey market. I paid £1,000 over list for mine, rather than £180,000/year on stuff with a Rolex AD/jeweller.
At least these shenanigans mean that my watch has increased in value since I bought it, so as long as the current (very annoying in all other ways) situation continues then paying overs doesn’t matter as you get them back plus more on top.
