they don't. all those watches sell for less than msrp even in the grey market.
I assume you went to Alberni? How the ADs work is they like to bundle things.
eg. if you bought a display model, let's say a datejust w/diamonds, you've amassed enough "credits" in your profile to get a stainless steel sports model. The SS steel model you can get depends on the value of the watch you've previously purchased. That ladies Datejust is worth 15-16k? You could probably get a SS sub or a Root Beer (a Root Beer in Alberni just requires one to have purchased at least 10k worth of watches). Once they get you the desired stainless steel piece, your "credits" would have been used and you'll have to start again from zero. And no, the value of the stainless steel sports watch you purchase does not count towards your customer profile "credits" . Watches that count towards your profile are datejusts (with the exception of 41mm), two-tone or solid gold pieces (depends on model), day-date models, cellini, or other precious metal watches.
