I've noticed the exact same thing. They know that the longer they hold it, the more money they are likely to make. I think they only list inventory now when they need cash and keep the rest of them in the safe. |

I had year end price targets of $50k / $30k for Panda Daytona and Pepsi GMT. Looks like we hitting those in Q1. OC Rolex Guy has a Pepsi for $29k right now.

Everyone knows that the gray cartel has been actively destroying inventory to create true scarcity. For every three watches they buy they destroy two and sell one to prove all the naysers about daytonas being rare wrong.

It’s free market, the seller will raise the price as much as they can, if nobody buys it, eventually they will have to lower their price to get their merchandise moving.

I don’t get why some are pissed off at DavidSW how he sells his watches??? You can always buy the same watch from a Rolex authorize dealer if you don’t want to play ball with the free market. Then again you may be playing a different and considerably longer ball game with your AD.

I doubt there’s any conspiracy theory going on here. It’s simply that David is selling them faster then he can rebuy. Which corroborates what I see on C24 over the past 3 years.
When I started looking at the 116500 there were over 600 listed for average price in mid 20s for white dial. Everyone was like that’s crazy it’s ridiculous people are dumb etc. Then number of watches dropped into mid 500s and prices went up to high 20s with a few breaching 30k. Again the chorus of that’s crazy, insane , dumb and ridiculous. Then the number listed dropped to Mid 400s and prices went up to mid to high 30s with a few breaking 40k. Again same chorus it’s insane, stupid, ridiculous and crazy prices. Now the number of watches listed is in mid 300s and avg price for white dial is almost mid 40s with a few piercing the 50k barrier and one new 2022 model with stickers listed for 55k! So all together now! Crazy stupid insane ridiculous prices paid by dumb people!! It’s very simple inventory is coming down and prices are going up. And David is doing what he’s in existence for which is to sell watches at the highest prices he can and I’m sure he could care less if he sells online, at the Miami antique show or right in his store.

You’re all overthinking this.
It’s just Rolex that stopped selling to flippers. Thus grey don’t have inventory anymore. |

Exactly. Most of them are honest entrepreneurs. These are not life saving drugs that people/children need. That would be a different story and sadly happens.

By this time next week.
People have to drop the conspiracy theories. In a world of 8 billion a highly salivated after watch produced in quantaties of 10 or 12 thousand per year is RARE and most definitely not a "mass produced piece of metal" etc., etc. |

Waiting List
Maybe there’s a Grey Market waiting list now. Only customers who have bought
watches in the past from DavidSW will get the call on that Daytona! Crazy? |

The problem with davidsw is they always lowball people. Same with watchbox. They must be working on a 35% margin for everything except the hottest model. I never sold a watch to them but just to see what they paying for their stock.

david has a pretty big store and employees so he needs bigger margins. that's also why his prices are higher than most. for the most part people severely overestimate how much greys will offer for their watches

If you e-mail him, he will probably tell you. I'm guessing $36k.

Not very surprised. I guess word is getting out that it’s hard to find a Chrono that offers so much in such a compact and durable package.

Haha - just look at EWC in Boston - the watches keep circling through as new "incoming" if they don't sell at first.

Based on their offers to me vs the current asking price at the time, I think you are correct
