116655 YM RG possible product lifespan

[Hangten]

Hey all-

I'm looking at getting my first PM piece with the 116655. It will be a little bit of awhile for me as I just picked up my Daytona-C and I will need at least a year to replenish the old watch budget and I want to buy new from an AD. I see that the WG Pepsi may be discontinued this year after being released in 2014. The RG YM 116655 was released in 2015. Any guesses how long Rolex will keep the 116655 around?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I don’t think anyone here will be able to give the info you’re looking for, aside from guesses.

If I had to guess, I’d say it’ll stick around for at least a few more years. It’s the original oysterflex Rolex, and while it might not be flying off the shelves I think it’s considered to be a success. I think it’s a fantastic watch. I just can’t see it going anywhere for a while.

Crystal balls don’t work with Rolex unfortunately. They do what they want when they want however way they want!!
