David is the best. Nobody complained when he had big discounts. It’s the market.

replicator · 28 March 2019, 10:40 AM

Market - supply and demand. David won’t sell for more than he can get. Often his prices are better than other grey.

I’m a fan.

Lemonvr6 · 28 March 2019, 10:40 AM

more stock

the shortage is intentional

derklink · 28 March 2019, 10:41 AM

Wonder where his GMT LNs went

Business thrives on opportunity. Rolex and the willing buyers gave him the environment for his business. If Rolex doesn't withhold deliveries, there will be no scarcity, raising prices. Without wiling buyers paying insane prices, no sales. Then we all whine and suffer...

I love my BLNR and LVc which I acquired before the hype started. They show almost no wear because I rotate 8 watches. I never seriously considered flipping but as prices keep climbing my resolve to keep them weakens and PM calls to me more loudly.

GradyPhilpott · 28 March 2019, 11:23 AM

I love my 116710BLNR, but frankly, it's not worth more than MSRP, discontinued or not, especially this early on.

The current Rolex market is insane and rational people don't play into the hysteria.

I bought his LN with stickers on just before basel. Figured it was time and didn't want basel to raise price. I was fortunate. Looks nice with a leather strap.

Agreed, glad I didn’t buy when it cracked 10 a while back.

Exactly!

How quickly people forget when we bought from DavidSW at a nice discount. All he is doing is following a supply vs demand model. His prices are based on the current market just like when he was selling at a discount in 2014. Those prices were based on that market.

kelv_w · 28 March 2019, 11:34 AM

I think his BLNR price is reasonable compared to the UK. There's one for $18,000. And recently one was sold close to $17k.

Zman15 · 28 March 2019, 11:42 AM

Supply vs demand gentlemen.

davenotize · 28 March 2019, 11:43 AM

Its dumb to think that him or other greys are selling at high prices making high profits, they buy high and sell high... would you sell your BLNR, Daytona, BLRO for msrp? Think about this for a second.

There are literally thousands of dealers and jewelers selling preowned Rolex. He is a very small cog on the wheel of preowned Rolex.

That’s where you are wrong. Yes he is one of thousands but very few come close to his level of service and quality of his pieces.

Dude paid me a ton of $$ for my 5711/12 recently. What is this thread even about??!

pkincy · 28 March 2019, 12:15 PM

These prices over MSRP are current but for them to continue you have to assume Rolex is run by idiots that can not control their production line and product mix.

They are smart enough to fix any supply imbalance and if they are as good as I think they are I would expect that production imbalance will be fixed very soon.

You ever think it’s intentional? It’s been like this for some time now.

Bingo!! David and the others aren’t paying MSRP for hot product. They’re paying more. I know what I sold my BLNR to David for...I assure you it was way over MSRP. I also saw what he was asking for it. I would consider it a modest profit at best. I thought he’d ask more and get it. I don’t care what anyone says...Rolex loves the greys. They drive the price up...helps the brand. Makes it more desired exclusive. Rolex could get rid of the greys if they wanted to but they don’t.

I think that price is too low. It will sell at a higher price given time since it only needs one buyer...

Wrist King · 28 March 2019, 12:49 PM

Down with DavidSW. He's the problem..

This is cute. You really have no idea just how big the world is, do you?

jonnyz1245 · 28 March 2019, 02:16 PM

The market is the market is the market. Supply and demand folks. Buy them or don't buy them. It's a waste of time to get mad at a market.

DSW and the others provide a secondary market for the watches and price accordingly. Same as any secondary market in any business. Cars, electronics, shoes and on and on and on...

These threads crack me up.

Exactly. Econ 101. It's just a market. If one doesn't want to participate in it, no one is forcing anybody too. All markets are cyclical.

Very well said!!

And if I may add...

If you can afford it, then buy it. If you can't afford it, then don't. It is indeed a beautiful concept!

Kestrel · 28 March 2019, 02:46 PM

I have always wondered how big by volume is he relative to the median US AD even when just looking at Rolex (he sells many brands). In total he moves hundreds of watches a month.
