@@GEMSofGOD_com Most San Martin watches are in the $200-$300 bracket though... and their most expensive watch was over $1500, so the "most expensive for $60" was either a very long time ago or simply not true. Also, Gary from ILW was recently gifted a genuine Submariner, so whilst he does compare the finishing, etc. I doubt he'd get rid of his Rolex now. (Also let's not forget that the Chinese brands basically exist to just churn out copies of other people's designs, which is something I'm really not comfortable with...)

Why they'd take it out of production so quickly is luxury marketing 101: maintaining an air of exclusivity. It's especially important for Rolex because the first justification most folks have for buying what's not nearly the best watch for the money (other than status signaling, which few say out loud) is that they hold their value and that only happens with restricted supply. That they now can control the supply of 2nd-hand watches AND reap the even higher profits of the used market does even more to justify any revenue lost on the individual sales of new watches had they kept it in production.

My grandfather used to be an AD in the 70’s - 80’s, and Rolex was always impossible to get for many of its most popular models. He said they just flew off the shelf, as soon as he got them in the store. The demand is there and the supply tries to keep up… just not for this Daytona. Honestly though, every company does limited editions. But if Rolex specifically stated it was a catalogue piece and then went back on it, that’s a serious slight to the customer base.

Rolex aren't marketing this watch as a $250,000 watch. It's how the market works, but that's not the same as marketing. Sellers can ask whatever price they want, and you, as a customer, can decide not to buy the item for that price. When the supply starts exceeding the demand, the prices will come down. For $ 250,000 the demand should be pretty low.

All true but man that’s a beautiful watch! It’s amazing how companies can make the perfect products but choose not to to keep ppl coming back for more. This was the perfect marketing tool. Create a perfect Daytona and then discontinue it so that everyone wants it so they keep their eyes peeled to future releases in case they can get one someday. The standard Daytona is great too but knowing they can make it that much better and they don’t blows my mind and show how powerful this brand is. You are so right. Rolex does not make the best watches, nor the best value, nor the prettiest, or best fitting - none of them. But overall, the quality, resale value, prestige, technology, robustness, history and much more creates a special feeling and I’m sorry to say it but Ii love the feeling of a Rolex on my wrist over any watch even if it is not my favorite. It makes me excited to wear my Rolex pieces. I feel complete and content! Weird but true

I absolutely share the annoyance around this watch leaving the catalogue, best modern Daytona by far. What I find interesting is that nobody seems to be commenting on the fact that this was created for the 100th anniversary of Le Mans, making it no different than other brands who produce anniversary pieces for a given year and once that year is over they're out of production. One example of this was the JLC Master Control sector dial collection to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Master Control line. Regular production, pieces weren't numbered or limited, but after that anniversary year they left the catalogue. Now there's a yellow gold version of this watch but because there isn't a 100th anniversary to celebrate anymore, it's an off catalogue piece with zero marketing tied to it. Rolex didn't really do anything different compared to their peers in the industry, but they made something so desirable and because everyone is already annoyed with them this did nothing to help that cause.

It seems Rolex has become more gimmicky over the past decade or so. Releasing watches with limited runs is not a part of their past, that I know of. They essentially did a LE watch with this Le Man without saying it. Getting a Rolex is one thing but they also seem to have rich collectors in mind with some releases.

I thought they were making another LeMans this year, so the 24hr movement still makes sense, but agree with most of the rest

Discontinuation is just Rolex’s version of a limited edition, they know the term limited edition is desperate so they create the same hype with short production runs. Not sure why people complain, just buy something else

F**K Rolex. Begged for years to get an OP for my 30th Birthday, ADs won't even give me the time of day. Just a shell of what the company used to be. Gladly give my money to Tag, Cartier, Tudor, anyone else who "allow" me to buy a watch.

I thought Rolex had to remove stickers prior to delivery? Like they had to keep them and prove they were removed to corporate? To prove it wasn't grey-marketed as new?

Rolex is a fantastic company. For centuries, alchemists have unsuccessfully tried to turn lead into gold. Then comes Rolex, who transforms 3 000 € worth of gold and steel bits and pieces into an object some individuals are ready to pay €200 grands for. Sellers are happy, buyers are happy, the seller’s banker is happy because his client is richer, the buyer’s banker is happy because he can lend money to his client. The world is a better place.

I honestly don't know why you'd buy any other non-bezel Rolex over an OP. Same movement, almost the same case as the EX1 and DJ and way cheaper. Hopefully you get it soon.

This watch is a signal of their current production problems. I have no way of knowing but I suspect all their pm models follow the same production pipeline and this watch impeded on their 31mm sparkled Datejust output.

@@Anonymouslyme1 The first part of your patronising comment is correct the second part is offensive and total bollocks. Who do you think most superclone Rolexes are sold to? Yeah that's right owners of the real thing. I have a superclone Submariner and it's one of the best watches I have ever had including real Rolex watches, Tudors, Breitlings etc.
