Agreed. That 15500 for example is one of the best prices I’ve seen outside of Moda/dealer chats but still isn’t moving. Makes you wonder what the true market clearing price is

And European Watch has new sold and pending pieces every day too. Their turn around on Patek is incredible, even at their high prices |

Simply ring round all the Greys and ask what they will offer for your watches, and repeat monthly. |

Exactly. AP on particular is taking a bath.

Secondary market will bottom out when people stop buying from them.
I personally don't care about the resale price as I am not going to flip the watches I purchase from the AD/boutique. |

Yeah, there is a seller here on TRF that seemingly 'sells' an identical watch for their asking price RIGHT before listing a watch! And it is never one that has been listed here a while, they just list a new 'sold' listing right next to it.

So if I'm reading you all correctly...
You think the decline will be over when we are back to 2014 where you could walk in and get a Sub or Royal Oak at the AD no problem, and the smart people were getting discounts or buying pre owned at 30% off? |

My guess is a return to 2018 levels. The COVID free money idiocy is hopefully gone forever.

It will be further falling over the next 6 months I predict
1. Interest (bonds etc) is actually attractive for a change, so the opportunity cost is higher than free money with no yield outside of uncertain stock markets 2. Buyers craze has waned and now the herd moves on to the "let's wait" mode because they've seen prices fall already - never underestimate momentum 3. Housing market is frozen - prices are still high but new mortgages are super expensive 4. More attractive "other ventures" (i.e. travel is open, international / air travel is back to normal) 5. Crypto is making a comeback but not at the same crazy levels as before 6. Manufacturers got super greedy with prices over the past 3-4years. A RO at $18k is interesting, a RO at $27k 4 years later is a big much (same with Patek, Rolex etc)... not even discussing the more interesting pieces, PM pieces etc 7. AD shenanigans have been a turn-off to say the least. Loyalty swings both ways - after treating your existing customers like garbage, who is knocking down the door to buy the 34mm TT datejusts now? |

Agree. Reversion to the historical mean/trendline, excluding COVID craziness

The SS Daytona prices are raising. Slowly, but surely.

Some of the formerly hottest watches such as 15202 or 5711 have a long way to go. My guess is another 30-50% after having already dropped 50% from the 2022 peak. I don't expect this to play out in the next 6 months but rather a slow bleeding for another 1.5 years minimum and possibly longer. |

Good points guys.
I think most of the decline has happened already, but I don't think we will see prices increase for a while |

I think where prices end up is the easier question. When they will actually stabilize is a bit difficult. But frankly I think we’ll be there by EOY.

But I agree we aren't very far from normalization at this point. Most rolex models are trading for about retail, with most precious model and TT pieces at or below retail. The exception remains the daytona, pepsi, sprite etc. Most 43mm AP Offshores have corrected below retail, and the 42s are pretty much back to 2020 prices. The new ROs are at a reasonable premium nowadays. Almost all the Patek models (except Nautilus & Aquanaut) are at or well below retail. For example I just looking at the 5205g and it's 15K below retail. Folks with purchase history are getting offered brand new Aquanauts at retail by their ADs without even asking. Nautilus on bracelet is standing strong (but down significantly from ridiculous peak), and will be the last General to fall. |

What do you all think would be the watch to buy if available at your local Rolex AD? Thank you!

That one's still sitting there, pricing is way too high. Pieces cheaper than that have been getting bumped since February. One went for $26k today, full set minus the card.

All the BLROs are currently coming out of the woodwork on MODA as it's clear it's not being discontinued. Lots of auctions and price reductions from the current run-up nonsense. Laughable.
