Still no discounts and availability for ss professional models. Saw tt ym and yg ym2 models only.. greys have a lot of inventory but pieces are not moving cos the majority of sales are from non HK buyers from them and cos of all the protests very few are flying there to buy watches.

There is no Rolex bubble and in fact there hasn't been one since 1950. Overpricing of newly released hot models has always been the case and I guess these models will drop down slightly in the future.
However, I expect only higher prices for the rest of the sports line in the future including all subs and GMTs besides the newly released jubilee models.

As to the thread theme, all these people hoping for lower prices in order to buy just shows demand is still there. Availability not so much except for the greys. Without a broader market/economic correction it appears to be a lot of wishful thinking! |

People, just don't buy over msrp. We have the power, not the greys. You don't need that new watch right away. Wait.

Regards thread theme, believe me I hope too to can buy a BLRO at retail price. In Rolex case this inflated prices it’s Rolex marketing magic not the real situation. Remember we speake about a mass produced watch manufacturer who are producing around 1000000 pieces per year. In this case it’s a AD-grey game who created an artificial phenomen to can make a huge profit from the watch lover. In Patek case demand now exceed 10 time more manufacture capacity to produce this Nautilus and Aquanaut. In this case I think after all I read including few interviews with Mr. Stern this situation will remain like this. Stern family want to keep this high demand and don’t have interest to change this unfortunately. I can tell you that I am agree with him and I prefer to wait for my watch then to buy a watch witch value are -30% when I live the store. The watch is not an investment but I prefer to keep his value.)) This is my humble opinion.... |

One day the idiots paying these silly prices will run dry. They dumb. And there are only so many dumb people out there.

I have not noticed any decline in the gray dealer's prices on the GMT BLRO but there do seem to be more of them available.
I checked out one of the more well known gray dealer's website today. As most of us are already aware you can buy PM at a greater discount versus SS. A YG DD40 retails for $34,850 but I can buy gray for $29,675. While the SS GMT retails for $9,250 but gray price is $19,373. These are indeed crazy times.

I think it is strange that many people are believing the Rolex grey market has to crash if it goes down.
To me, the most likely scenario is that it will have small fluctuations and trend up over the long term. I guess it is more fun to talk about fantastic scenarios with winners, losers, suckers, and those who outsmarted everyone else. |

Agreed. If to was not for the hype about the nautilus, that would also be a very quirky piece likely selling for no more than retail and perhaps a bit less. Insta and the fact of people seeking exclusivity moved some of the Rolex fish upstream to PP so they can get their exclusivity. |

Guy I met said while on vacation he went to the local Rolex AD. No new GMT's in stock, but upstairs we have all the new models used.
The story was all 4 were bought, and returned within a week because the customer didn't like it. New "used" price was 8-12k over MSRP

I don't think we'll see BLROs and 500cs of the world sit. What I do believe is prices will be significantly lower.

I think you hit the nail on the head Vacher. Unfortunately it seems there is always a big slow down in watch buying this time of year. I would be willing to bet that things pick up again by late September, and steel Rolex priced higher than ever before by November, due to the holidays, and fears of certain watches being discontinued in 2020. |

Lol this apparently happens every summer. People are vacation, no one cares about their watches right now.
Wait till Patek and Rolex go on summer break and stop shipping watches. Right now theyre cleaning out before the shut down. the market will come back then, in my opinion

It does look like watches are sitting a bit longer, even getting a little price cut after a bump or two. Wait and see, I guess...

I think Walmart had a great quarter because joe six pack sees the storm coming too, he usually shops at target.
