How to Survive the Rolex CRASH

[@bobbydazzler1780]

Actually this is great advice. Never been a better time to buy new from an AD. Never been a better time to buy used from the grey market. Prices are down and availability is up. So if you ain’t buying now you never will. Also hold your stock and keep your powder dry. Sit out the drought. Enjoy your collection.

[@rudimussrodeln]

It will be better in the next months.

[@mscformeditation]

This market will crash as most market do after a bubble, there are countless Rolex on the market, prices will come back to be lower tham AD prices in the coming 5 years…the number of Rolex available these says is just crazy…So, no, this is not the best time to buy…this is a dead end investment…

[@bobbydazzler1780]

@@mscformeditation investment. Who said anything about making money? My point was to buy a watch you’ll keep. The ‘investment’ guys have all run away. There’s enthusiasts who buy to wear and scalpers in it for a buck.

[@watchexplorer426]

Missed you Marc! Glad you’re back!!

[@1999zrx1100]

When they’re making over a million watches a year I’m surprised it took this long.

[@thomasf.4687]

Diveded 200 countries means 5000 for each country that's nothing 😅

[@kevinh5349]

They're still too high.

[@fourtraxer]

The market is correcting itself and will continue to go down. Bad if you're buying watches to flip or because of the perceived value, good for Watch lovers that appreciate the timepiece and can now get one for a reasonable price and/or at an AD.

[@Syhbw]

20-21 bubble was just ridiculous. ADs still won’t sell even 126234 with jubilee bracelet with blue/green/wimbledon dials. Still tough to get in demand models at ADs.

[@TriforceRich]

Actual enthusiasts should be happy about the crash. It means we can get the watches we want for cheaper. I didn’t lose. I sold at the peak. I cashed out $13.5-14k for my 5 digit Pepsi and my gen 1 JC. I thought the prices were getting absurd and I sold. I remember telling everyone at the time that my Pepsi was a $4k watch that was overinflated beyond belief. I put my money where my mouth was and sold it. I bought a Cookie Monster and a Celebration during this down market. In the hyped up market I couldn’t have gotten either. Also, the market isn’t even close to the pre-hype times. Anyone who has been in the hobby long enough knows that pretty much every watch aside from the Daytona was selling under retail until about 2017. I still remember someone paying 4k over list for a Daytona and people on the Rolexforums ridiculing that person. Yeah, we are way down from the panda Daytona selling for 50k but still we are far off a used Sub selling 2k under retail.

[@RootBeerGMT]

A white face Daytona is a very unimpressive watch in person.

[@marcgoldbergdogtrainer]

I thought the same about my pre ceramic so I sold it. I have a better feeling for the ceramic panda which I enjoy much more. It’s one of those IYKYK watches.

[@chuckhancock5834]

Can't get desired watches from an AD. I buy to wear them. Got a new Hulk when it came out for 20% under retail. From an AD. Got a new Bluesy from a great grey seller for 35% off retail. Those days are gone. Sadly. Live to by a new Air King and 41 Celebration. Can't. Sucks.

[@bryanenglish7841]

I gave up on buying Rolex a while ago, no dealer would sell me one. Honestly I'm grateful they wouldn't, I found that silly material things like a watch were completely superfluous to my happiness. I took that money and invested it instead.

[@LRS11B]

The social media influencers that made flipping shows caused the hype. Now those shows are boring and the hype bubble is bursting. The Rolex brand will become what it once was, just a good watch to wear

[@shakotanZ]

when you aren't worried about making a profit on a watch, things become a lot more enjoyable.

[@crosbafcrosbaf2190]

Great to see you back Marc

[@flipmode45]

Love to see you dropping some vids Marc!

[@structurescience]

Excellent! Watching from Sickla, Stockholm, wearing my one watch - a 116528 Daytona - vacation day 27/37.

[@CarGuyYYZ]

People who buy a Rolex to keep in a box as an “investment” is like a car collector who buys a beautiful car only to leave it sitting. Wear your watch. Drive your car. This is a great time for a “regular” person to get a Rolex.

[@kiz11a]

The tide is finally turning for us regular persons, soon we could buy a Rolex just walking into an AD

[@TJames69]

Secondary prices are still high except for 5 digit explorers. Not much value out there.

[@smitty923]

Haven't watched one of your vids in about 12-16 months- shave you savage! Hope life is treating you well.

[@32543219]

Well some of us who didn’t intend to flip are getting depreciation from retail. The 2024 Sea Dweller I bought for 13,275 retail at AD down to 12,278 used since March. I agree with you I will just wear it to enjoy it. What was the name of a reasonable insurer?

[@f1shf1ngers24]

Not a constant stream of buyers for a Daytona used, it’s still got a lot of room to drop and you buy retail. Drop Drop Drop Dropping and DROPPING some more.

[@borjastick]

Still can't get them. I'm now one year in the waiting game from my AD in Paris who promised me she would get me a Starbucks Sub but so far nothing has happened or changed.

[@jackflowers999]

[@jackflowers999]

[@Arc1517]

Goldberg you’re back. Still gonna break you balls when I told you the market was gonna crash when you said Panda was going to $100K lol. Still one of the most memorably bad predications ever made. That said, I hope you’re doing well

[@cedche7531]

Thanks for the vid Mark!

[@gotshpilkes]

I love the Rolex Explorer 40. It's a great watch. It's a borderline stupid purchase at $7800 (USD) retail. It's insane at above retail prices without paperwork. I can afford $10K for a watch but the Explorer looks much less nice when compared to the competition in the >$10K range.

[@Matys1975]

A Rolex Explorer on the grey market costs 2 times the price of an Omega Aqua Terra on the grey market. Objectively, the Rolex is not twice as good, in fact, I’m not even sure if it’s at all better. The only way it can be seen as better is if you need to sell it later, as it will likely retain its value better.

[@bigidiot123]

I was just in an AD a week ago in Princeton, NJ and they were totally wiped out still. I don't know if it's fair to say it's a good time to buy from an AD when they have no inventory lol. All I want is a 36mm OP rhodium dial and nobody has one in stock.

[@marcgoldbergdogtrainer]

Patience grasshopper. Visit occasionally and form a relationship. Or just buy it second hand and be done with it. Great time to do that now.

[@Mrr.London]

Here we go master is back, nice to see you Marc, excellent 😀👌🏽!!

[@carlos6860]

I just saw the white speedy at the omega boutique and it’s better than any steel Rolex to me.

[@jamessmith-on3jf]

I recently bought a 63g Tiffany rose gold bracelet from ebay with authenticity for £3550, Tiffany retail £11300. I still think watches are not a bad long term investment.

[@Dr.Sheffield]

Thanks Marc great informative and interesting talk ✌️

[@gavinwhite9743]

Rolex crash? Or just return to normality. Ads are now friendly again, two tone or solid gold watches are immediately available. Secondary prices for all but Daytona and Gmt2 models are similar to list. Personally, happy days. Just picked up my 5 digit sub at a reasonable price, thousands cheaper than just 12 months ago. ( I dare say in a further 12 months maybe cheaper still, but if you find a good example that you plan to keep, kinda doesn't matter)

[@richardfried9470]

how much does briteco charge for watch insurance ? Or what percentage of the value of the watch per year.

[@joeb5183]

With a million + produced a year supply will exceed demand. It will go the way of the beanie baby

[@oddpout]

THE EXPERT AUTHOR SPEAKS

[@tylertran93nsx]

How much is my 2014 Rolex submariner 116610 LM worth?

[@b_altmann]

That whole thing about Rolex making 1M watches a year, yeah sure. Someone broke this down: 200k are Tudor. Half of the 800k are Ladies models. 65% are non-sport models. 140k men’s watches left. 70k are precious metal and 70k Professional models in steel. 8 lines in 34 variations. US gets half of global inventory, so 35k men’s sport models. Or 10 a month.

[@jdwxflyer]

Rolex has always been a store of value. If you’re broke, passing through Vegas, and looking to play some Black Jack, you can roll into any pawn shop and trade said Rolex for “some” money. Maybe you’re more likely to find yourself in a Tijuana jail. Well said Rolex will be helpful there too.

[@rick137.pickle]

After what rolex have done. I think I won’t be buying from them even if their supply returns.

[@CaptainZed]

its a buyers market..

[@slateization]

Step 1 if you can’t afford to lose it completely you can’t afford it

[@peterlewis3540]

What crash ? Its just the watch market returning to sane levels, that existed before covid. The desirable Rolex Sports models, are still impossible to obtain from your AD, and even if the prices have fallen, the majority are still trading well above retail, on the Grey market. So what crash ?

I enjoyed the video for what it is.

[@steve-on3234]

@@Rpob yes I am criticizing content. It was a call out for him to do better if you didn’t figure that out. Presentation is part of content.

Talking about Rolexes with a house in background that signals the person talking shouldn’t be buying them and should be saving their money doesn’t exude credibility. Everybody thinks they can start a channel and make millions. And suckers like both of us watch it. The algo got me. I stopped watching it.
