Bubble bursting
Just hold tight. Its happening. With the stock and housing market softening, luxury goods like this will take the hardest hit. Patience...

Really! Are you excited that many people will lose their job or their house or their life saving because you can buy watches? Patience for what?

Chill out. He’s very obviously referring to a deflation of the SS bubble. In terms of jobs, savings, etc...well that’s a function of, and inherent cycle in, a capitalist society.

Follow the 40 years of Rolex pricing and trends, quickly you will see that economic cycles have not burst the brand or its val**.

For luxury goods in general...For Patek and Rolex. mmmm. Nope.

This is more towards wishful thinking.

There is no Rolex bubble. Maybe on the grey used market. Any retail sales at MSRP will be quickly taken up.

So this bubble could turn out to be a force field.

In case you are right, what do you think patience will result in? Being able to buy SS grey market bellow MRSP? Or you believe there will be an abundance of SS across the official retail network of Rolex?

You know when the 116500 came out it was 20k then dipped to 15k to 16.5k and now it is back. So you dont really know when it will stop and when it does prices could be inflation adjusted higher.
