Not stolen lol but even if it was I wouldn't really care. Sorry for weird phrasing though, wasn't sure how aware people are of gray market here.
Correct, this is an individual rather than one of the online stores but same difference except usually better prices since it's one off stock. He's one of the bigger and more known ones in the Northeast. Also know two others in the tri-state area.

I'll post some of my DateJusts soon. I paid about $2k each, all in fully original and pristine condition, while two of them are very rare, one is even with papers. If you don't know watches, you're better off to come to the crew for considerate advise rather than try to get your ego stroked.

May get flamed for bringing this question up, but i found a mint "fake" Patek Philippe Sky Moon ********** with stickers in a box of watches that i picked up at an estate sale.
Is it illegal for me to sell this watch?

The watch is absolutely beautiful even if it's a fake. Just not my style.

I wonder if I should just write to Patek Phillipe and explain to them how i acquired it and send it to them. Maybe they will be considerate and give me a Patek hat or keychain or something? On the other hand they might sue me. haha!

You know, I'm sitting here looking at these Richard Mille pieces and I'm thinking to myself "why the f*ck would anybody spend $500,000 on one of these?"
I'm trying really hard to like a few of his collection pieces, but I just can't bring myself to admire them. Oh well.
for your time

The easiest way is to take it to an actual Patek dealer, you'll know it's real or not in the 3 seconds after you hand it over just by waiting for the hammer to come out from under the counter…

I'm looking for a cool pilot watch aswell since I have the watch combination as you atm.
thanks a lot for sharing how you guys deal with getting such nice watches. I was always assuming these threads had people who were on 150k + incomes.
I am actually after another good quality watch for decent price. I have a Orient Bambino (black face) for classy and a Seiko Sea Urchin (sub). I actually love the sub and still get a kick out of wearing it. My fav would be a rolex submariner.
I am wondering what the next purchase should be for building a collection. I keep wanting subs and wanted the Steinhart Ocean in black but it is too identical to my seiko.
TLDR: looking to build a nice collection. Have a Seiko sub what are the next ones.
Some looks that i love: Rolex Yachtmaster (the blue bezel, 2 tone) and Explorer 2 (all white)

edit: and generlly grey market watches has the external serial numbers removed so that they cant be traced back to the AD who sold them to the gray market seller.
