Is Rolex’s inventory ever going to get better?

Dang you’re lucky, my ADs are in Florida. So I feel that the market saturated with wealthy older folks who have more money to spend on every piece that is offered to them, unlike myself. I’m going keep playing the game following up etc, I might have to go grey but to me paying over retail for a DJ isn’t worth it to me.

Every area has different challenges I think, depending on the demographics and the local economy. In London it was very difficult to get anything after Covid but since last year things have improved a great deal. It’s worth waiting a bit longer before going grey I think, stay in touch with your SA and I’m sure your watch will turn up!

I actually think the opposite. They LOVE they’re flipped for 2x profit.

Simple answer: deliver more Daytona's and GMTs and the aftermarket prices will drop. People only pay the inflated used prices because they have no chance of buying at retail. Pure supply and demand.

That’s not what I’m asking. I’m asking why people think Rolex ‘doesn’t like inflated pricing on the secondary and have a problem with it. I think they love it.
