What Happened to the Grey Market Show? | Dual Time Podcast #8

On this episode of Dual Time, the Luxury Bazaar team tackles a question we get asked constantly: why don't we post Grey Market anymore? We break down the real difference between an authorized dealer and a grey market watch dealer, and ask whether the price of a watch matters more than the service, warranty, and trust you get when buying one.We also dig into the SteveWillDoit Rolex controversy, where Mexico's national soccer team was forced to return $1 million worth of luxury Rolex watches gifted by the YouTuber after violating FIFA's Code of Ethics on gifts of "symbolic or trivial value." Plus, we cover Ben's Watches' report on a new quartz crisis for Swiss watchmaking, as Chinese brands like Tianjin Sea-Gull, Atelier Wen, and Beijing Watch Factory close the gap on Switzerland with in-house mechanical movements and tourbillons at a fraction of the price, and dive into the new Seiko and Rolling Blazers watch release.
