          I buy them in the Philippines for about $3 each.

          They are NOT real, but they are good watches.. usually Japanese movement these days, which means they keep on working, they are actually water resistant and when they stop, a new battery and they are good to go.

          They are not grey, they are BLACK market.

              I a newbie in this watches stuff, but it seems "grey-market" is the kind of watche where there are no manufacter warranty but the watches are legitime.
              Its not black market neither a representative selling (its somewhere between both).The watches are produced in the factory, but some dealers does not follow the brand recomendations and sell the watches much cheaper.
              The url I gave before is a good example, I believe.

                  If someone sees this www.proworth.com site, this guy has only top brands,very expensive watches.
                  Some can cost $50.000. But most cost more than $3000... the watches all have between 20% or 50% discount.
                  My question is: is there anyone stupid enough to pay $3000 dollars for a fake watch??

                          Got to be careful. A lot of branded mfrd. goods are actually the real thing but were stolen off trucks, or out of shipping containers, during the distribution process from mfr. to wholesaler and from wholesalers to retailers.

                          So there is no cost of product to the thieves peddling them at ridiculously low prices.
