I'm honestly surprised anyone would pay $37k for a rubber 5167 when you can get a full PM Daytona, brand new, at or below that price.
(Disclaimer: I have a 5167, and I love it.) |

5164 will be traded around usd70k- 75k by end of this year. I know it sounds crazy, but here in Indonesia a grey dealer already try to sell it around 65k.

Same comment, then. A 5164 at $70k is insane considering you can get a brand new Platona for less than that. |

https://youtu.be/k1HhRPDmCgw Rolex is great watchmaking, but comparing it to Geneva Seal or holy trinity watchmaking isn’t a fair fight. Machine made great products versus handcrafted art |

Let’s now talk production numbers- again not a fair fight So...what’s the comparison again? The classic rules of watchmaking apply for demand and how they are made affect all 4: 1) Design 2) Provenance 3) Rarity 4) Brand |

I've taken much more interest in the 5167a recently but did start tracking what companies like WF and Blowers were selling them for since 2016 when I first was made aware of the 5167. Blowers sold a 2009 for £11950 in March 2016. The most recent sale in the UK was WF selling a 2018 5167 in June 2019 for £29950. I just can't see where or if its ever going to end.

You get stuck. End of story. Prices keep going up. You buy a platona; Aquanauts hit 6 figures by the end of 2020. Rolex releases more colors maybe a cherry coke. You buy that. Now you have 10 rolexes and zero Pateks. Patek discontinues the 5167- you cry |

I haven't seen many in stock anywhere even amongst Grey's. I love mine but if someone offered that kind of money for it I would be tempted. Could use the cash and go for something like a 3940 which would be pretty sweet..

I bought mine a year ago at £17000... A 2015 model with box and papers. It was just a tad above retail and although I loved I was marginally annoyed at having to pay above retail... Now £17k seems like a good deal...
I was in Japan in November and prices there are like watchfinder. For UK gbp based people... With yen at 137...Japan is now pretty pricey... But at Nakano mall where there are lots of second hand watch shops they seem to align with Chrono more or less... And getting discounts is toughish... I bought a little while back a 15202...and really the discount is a rounding down... I probably did not negotiate as hard as I should.... But they did not seem to flex much.

Well I assumed he’s just a scammer/conman.....I also told him that at eur65k there will be a queue of people willing to sell, so he wouldn’t need to worry about not having one for too long Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
