I agree with him. He is a legit grey dealer, has a youtube channel in which he openly does alot of deals. He most likely has a good idea of where the grey market prices are moving.

Who cares what some guy on Youtube thinks, owning and wearing watches is not always about ££££$$$$€€€, it's about owning and wearing and enjoying the watches you bought in good health.

Agree in principle. Just sharing a perspective to foster an interesting post-announcement discussion of the new releases.

Also mentions short-term flippers of the JM YG Daytona are going to get squeezed. And he sees platinum diamond baton Daytonas going to $200K+.

That's still my goal, Peter. From my fine Swiss timepieces to my not so Swiss, not so fine timepieces. Each has given me enjoyment and satisfaction. What an amazingly simple concept.

Personally I don't give a damn about resale prices as I rarely sell these days, and I buy watches to wear and enjoy. However (and as I've said on other threads here) I totally agree with this guy's comments about the Oyster bracelet option on the GMT's hurting the original versions... and I'm not talking about the financial side. I especially believe the original 116710 BLNR should've stayed unique as it was the first bi-colour ceramic bezel Rolex ever produced, so it deserved to be allowed to stand alone. Rolex have diluted it.

As I've said before, its not as if 126710 BLNRs were sitting around unsold due to being on a Jubilee! Stupid, lazy decision by Rolex IMO.

Is there any reason why you continue to link these clickbait sites?

SN13 · 9 April 2021, 02:54 AM

I get this guy is a dealer, getting rich on rising prices,

But doesn’t he realise a large part of Rolex appeal is that they are classically styled that don’t change very much?

Making annual changes that mean you can date a watch by looking at it would be a disaster

True... but why not have a version of the X2 that’s a little more special and exclusive for its 50th anniversary?

I know Rolex hates limited editions... but I think collectors would have liked a green 24-hour hand on 1,000 pieces or for a short production run. Something like that. No?

RJRJRJ · 9 April 2021, 03:30 AM

I enjoy his videos, but if you saw his last video, you'd see how out of touch he is with the reality of Rolex new releases. Then again, he's only been in the business for something like 3 years.

Brew · 9 April 2021, 03:34 AM

Unwatchable. Does he do a couple of quick reps before turning the camera on? A "poser," literally.

nosignalbmwdriver · 9 April 2021, 04:37 AM

Projecting some insecurities?

He's right about rolex ruining the WG pepsi regardless of dial options

Indeed... classless to avoid the discussion topic and engage in personal attacks on dealers and other TRF members.

Let’s discuss Rolex... and if the topic doesn’t interest you, feel free to ignore and MOVE ON!

Well since you're saving for one, maybe you can get a discount since this new release is devaluing the white gold Pepsi.

I remember the good 'ol days when you could get WG GMT for 23k-27k ish USD?

If anyone is "in it" for resale, please just go away.

Etschell · 9 April 2021, 04:01 AM

i will say this anyone who buys a rolex cares somewhat about resale. it is one of the selling points of the watches. it may not be the main point but it is on the list. anyone who says otherwise can sell me theirs below market.

cuibono · 9 April 2021, 04:38 AM

I'd honestly love to see a new "Rolex Investment" Topic so all these annoying threads can be moved there. Rolex General Discussion is becoming unbearable.

discontinuing the batman just to reintroduce a new one later on with a better movement is understandable

adding the same exact pepsi that was only available in white gold to the stainless lineup makes no sense. i feel like PM versions should have something that distinguishes them from steel variants to make them a bit more exclusive. i guess sales for the white gold black dial weren't taking off so they introduced it in steel also, but i still don't really get it

Santiago32 · 9 April 2021, 05:28 AM

I disagree and I do believe the 116710BLNR is still the one that will be most sought after to collectors in the long term.

He suggests that there is nothing that distinguishes the 116710BLNR vs. 126710BLNR. To the untrained eye that may be true, but if the past is telling of the future, it's the watch history and nuances that matter.
