How We Do It?
You can be sure that watches sold by Showtime Watches are 100% brand new and authentic watches.
So, how can we offer prices at sometimes 50% or more off the retail price? The reason is simple and it is called the "Grey Market".
A Grey Market dealer is a store (usually online, but can be brick and mortar) that sells brand new watches, while NOT being part of a brand’s authorised retail channel.
Normally retail channels operate this way:
A brand manufactures watches > These are sold to official distributors > These are then sold to authorised dealers (retailers) > Retailers sell the watches to the customer (you).
Grey Market dealers like us simply manage to get watches by offering retailers the opportunity to clear old inventory. Retailers must avoid having an inventory excess in order to have a rotation in the pieces they are selling to their customers to stay attractive, and also because brands usually push retailers to renew their stock by buying new releases as a condition of their contract. The Grey Market allows them to do that by clearing their stock and getting some money back.
