That said, I'm glad to see it! I just wish a BLRO would get cheap enough to add into my watch case! |

Its not going to bottom out as long as dealers are stuck with pieces that they paid too much for and are unwilling to take the hit. They will keep inflating the prices by selling the watches to other dealers on credit at the inflated price in order to show that they are still selling at higher prices. These watches never actually sell but just move from one dealer to another. They are hoping that if the consumer sees that these watches are being moved at the higher price then maybe other watches in their inventory will sell to unsuspecting consumers at the higher price. Its called price manipulation.

I'm still quite surprised they're that high. They're essentially a XXXL datejust that the vast majority of wrists can't sport. The other large-sized rolex models tend to sell under retail on the secondary market. Will be interesting to see where they end up in the long term.

I love the functional turning besel and the way of displaying months, if they could just reduce it to a 40mm and 12mm or less thin I would jump at it in a heartbeat. Otherwise, the datejust is my preference. Sent from my SM-S908W using Tapatalk |

By ‘fails’ you must mean Rolex successfully selling and profiting from every Sky-Dweller and YM2 they produced for 12 and 18 years of production? Or by fail you mean Rolex didn’t make it specifically for your wrist?
Fun timepieces for fun people. Not everyone is a clone.

The 116710BLNR's don't seem to be moving much at least on DAVIDSW's site.

I think heading into summer the whole used watch market is slowing except for high demand models. I think there is some well needed rest from the hyperactivity of the last few years. Unless and until trends change in mechanical watch popularity, used prices may fluctuate over time, the current trend will keep prices trading in a range. I do not see a major downfall or surge in used watch prices in the short-term.

when people lose their jobs and inflation keeps weakening the consumer then watches are low on the list of where the dollars have to be spent, personally Im not buying anything until it is below msrp, specifically the 228238 or 228235 (high demand ones)- I MIGHT buy one when they hit 2018-19 prices - low 30's for example and maybe not even then if the economy does what I think its going to do

i'm a home builder so I see things from that perspective - I believe we are going to have some kind of economic crisis, either a dollar problem (losing reserve currency status), a runaway inflation problem, or a global depression. I believe we are in the early innings of a global recession now and debt based systems go in cycles - the entire world is on this system and we're in the late innings on this one. If you look at history we usually have a big ass war about now - if you havnt then go read Strauss and Howes "The Fourth Turning", we are in the Winter phase...
We are currently $35 trillion in debt that they admit to, and we are deficit spending $1 trillion dollars every 100 days, the world is liquidating our bonds and all the central banks are buying gold hand over fist, the writing is on the wall for anyone who cares to look. Back on the subject - I think we are going to be able to buy luxury watches a hell of cheaper in 12 month. You asked and thats my .02 |

Silver 26240st 50th anniversary fullset great condition went at auction for $37.2k
Below retail and moda auctions are typically inflated.

We are finally at below retail! Once we see blue and green dial ROs at retail price or lower, we will know the flippers are mostly gone
