Is Rolex a enthusiast brand anymore?? My 3 decade ownership has me wondering.

The forum has shifted the last 2 years. Been there done that long enough to recognize it. I am just now concerned enough to ask if others that have invested a significant amount of time and effort on this forum feel the same.

The posts from 10 years ago are about the same. People asking about a lot of the same questions. There are pages and pages on plastics that come on the watch. Seems familiar to me.

Has there been a shift in the last 2 years? Of course there has been a shift in the past 2 years. People that want to get in the hobby cannot get the watches. Rolex stores are empty for the average consumer, ADs are making demands about bundling, etc. Prices on the grey market are almost double when they used to be the cheaper than the AD.

The landscape has 100% changed from 2 years ago. Regardless of why it has shifted, scarcity, demand, whatever... It has in a major way. So yes a forum about Rolex would change when the entire Rolex landscape has changed.
