    Personally I have no problem with the grey market as long as they are reputable dealers and are not exploiting customers. If ADs cannot offer you the watch you want within a realistic timescale, then they are the dealers at fault here. It is obvious that this grey market dealer has made your friend very happy whereas the AD could not, or would not.

    Really interesting to see the VC Overseas (what a STUNNING timepiece!); so often it is Rolex, AP and Patek that TH-cam watch enthusiasts make videos about, but not very often do you come across videos featuring Vacheron Constantin watches.

      Same here. Call New York AD there is a 10 month estimated wait list. To get on list they want a 35% deposit to hold your place and getting your money back is at the discretion of boutique.

    More time needed to show off the overseas, not enough detail and more pictures. I have this model on order from a AD, can’t wait. The Overseas blows away all Rolex models, a much more refined and better movement, high horology.

    I think 11% is pretty cheap. The money he'd have to spend on watches that he may not want to get a sizeable spend history would be a lot more. Also, let's be honest it's good to have patience and wait for an AD but when a year becomes two and so on then realistically will you ever get the call?
    A friend with a spend history at an AD (albeit not very recent) has been waiting for 3 years for a Starbuck.

    Why it couldn’t be so easy to buy this watch at an AD?

    If I would have the knowledge about this situation 10 or better 20 years ago, I would have a nice collection that could easily pay my retirement plan!

    Awesome pickup and congratulations to your friend. Even though he paid the premium to me it is an amazing pickup and definitely justified. That watch will only keep increasing in value given it has become a boutique exclusive and you need to have prior purchase history to even be put on the list to purchase. Obviously I never recommend buying watches as an investment you must buy what you love and want to wear. And this is certainly a stunner!! And well said my friend. Life outside of your career and youtube should always come first. Enjoying time with family and friends is of upmost importance. Cheers my friend hope all is well with you

    as a young man in his 20s and getting a first and only one. Would you recom Rolex Sub or VC Overseas 4500v Stainless? To me its hard cause I know the sub is most copied watch with fakes etc and a lot of people owing one. the overseas and vc is not talked about that much. i like the sub for being very durable, at the moment I am looking at the vacheron constantin overseas and for some reason that watch is calling my name. I have a pretty active lifestyle so a durable and versatile watch would be ideal. I like VC cause its not recognized by many people and only a few will know that brand compared to like rolex, ap, patek. I feel like wearing a rolex draws unesscary attention to me since its to most well known / popular luxury brand out there.

      MSRP is ~25k, original owner probably sold it for close to 30k, so he made 4-5k and chalked up a nice purchase history for creds especially if he bought it off a multi-brand AD.

      How does one buy from an AP boutique when...
      1. The AP boutiques have NOTHING in stock!
      2. If you want the hot pieces 15450, 15500 or a 15202 you need to buy a Code 11.59 to be even considered. I'm willing to pay a premium of 20% to get what I want rather than buying watches I don't or kissing the AD's rear.
      3. AP is restocking their boutiques this September but I'm almost positive that 99.9% of the watches are spoken for so most of us have no chance to get a piece we want unless we go gray market or wait YEARS for them to determine that someone is worthy.
