Will Rolex Ever Be Back In The Display Cases At Authorized Dealers? Luxury Watch Market Update.

[@toastedbagel99]

I love watching the Dubai expat too! It's interesting to see rolex shops in different parts of the world 😊

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Definitely. It’s a very cool laid back channel.

[@jamessinatro4807]

😊 And take a coffee while you watch.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

@ Right??😂😂

[@FuriousWeasel-09]

Yeah it was a crazy time. I bought 2 Rolex and 2 Omega. I still wear them daily. But not looking for anything else. Feel like I'm good for life now.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

That’s awesome. 🤙🤙

[@mickfryar6120]

Tony, the man! The most authentic, real, genuine timepiece channel on the tubes. 🙌

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thanks man! I appreciate it! 😊🤙🤙

[@wristopia4101]

Ditto 😘

[@soupdragon1]

Always wanted a luxury watch and had money just before covid😢. Then i couldn't afford one or couldn't get one all of a sudden. Finally after waiting 5 months pick a two tone rootbeer up on Saturday from AD no buy history. Dont care about any secondary values just wanted the watch.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

That’s awesome. Congrats. 🤙🤙

[@jimwatson6363]

Great work Tony!

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thank you. 🤙🤙

[@AverageJoeWatchBro]

Question for you sir! I’ve got a few Rolexes in my collection 1. Rolex explorer 1, datejust, Starbucks, and the batgirl. I have the option to get the rose gold yachtmaster 40 oysterflex. I’ve always loved the watch but I would need to sell my sub and GMT. What are your thoughts?

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Hey man. I’ll add to the Q&A.

[@dankinsler1930]

Wish I could give you two thumps up. Hit the nail on the head as usual.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thanks man! I appreciate it! 🤙🤙

[@mettagirl1]

Hey Tony, great video! I think people forget that most luxury brands do have yearly price increases (not to the level of JLC!). The economy, particularly post-pandemic, is one of my favorite topics. You nailed every point in my opinion, and you made it interesting, too. 😀

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

That’s cool. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@angikarchmer5633]

Eventually Rolex will be making enough watches to have a wide selection to choose from when you walk into their stores just like before. It will take a couple of more years before production is able to ramp up enough.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

We will definitely see. 🤙🤙

[@b_altmann]

Omega used to give 5% discount, but not any more. This is at an Omega boutique, not a multi brand retailer. Breitling did not give anything at all.

[@harrychristoforou6089]

Omega in the UK are giving discounts presently

[@misterzero8667]

Buy on the secondary for big discounts particularly breitling

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thanks for your comments.

[@alfieakaronaldog]

A lot of KZbinrs took it for granted it would always be a thing. They changed their channel name to their own names as if they were going to be some Top Gear style superstars.

Hi Tony great video and content! Can I ask why everyone in the community says that stupid thing about the Steel Daytona - that you could not never get one? That only started when the ceramic one came out. In 2015 I was in Geneva airport and I bought as a walk in 2 Steel Daytonas one black and one white…

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Nice. Congrats! 🤙🤙

[@michaelsaraceno3438]

[@mikelewis2456]

Hi Tony! I was at the Patek/Rolex AD this week. Still everything in exhibition only status. I tried on the new Cubitus they had both Platinum Grand Date and Green dial 5821/1A. I wasn’t crazy about the new releases at first, but must admit 45mm size actually looked great on my wrist and have really warmed up to the design. The 5821/1A -001 dial was very nice and would be my choice if allowed to purchase. I asked the manager about purchasing a 5205R-011 that’s probably one of my favorite configuration in Complications model.🤔Manager said he will consider me on that model.🤞

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Hey man! That’s cool! I definitely think it’s one of those watches that will look better in person. I like it, but the 45mm would just be too big on my wrist. 🤙🤙

[@robynsjp]

Being totally into vintage, whatever modern Rolex, Patek or other is available, whatever ADs do, is as relevant to me as a comb is relevant to bald person. Sure many production watches are nice, but they don't sing. And a watch must sing to me. Off to the bank today to pick up a breathtaking 1957 Constellation arrowhead piece. Looking for a period correct Omega brushed gold flatlink bracelet for that watch, but this is harder than finding the M370 airplane... Also in love with the Rolex Zephyr 6582 with stretch oyster riveted bracelet. Tough to find too... Way tougher than modern pieces.

Hey Tony! Thanks for making this video I am sure a lot of people were thinking about this topic. Have a great rest of your weekend.

Great breakdown Tony! I think everything you said is very on point and accurate with what the situation is! I too like TheDubaiExpat channel.

[@Fatboylo1980-l7n]

I’ve always loved watches from a young kid. The first watch that I remember was a Casio calculator watch. That’s what got me into watches. Well I always bought cheaper watches that I liked like guess and fossil, watches I could get at department stores. Then I started getting interested in some higher end stuff like citizen and tag hauer. While on vacation in St. John, i walked into a jewelry store that had Rolex , Breitling etc. all watches i couldn’t afford at the time. Well they had case full of Rolex and they were available for sale. I don’t remember which ones because I didn’t know anything about the brand but I wanted to look at them. Well I got talking to the salesman, turns out he was from my home state, we chatted for a while Looked at a bunch of watches, none of which I could afford but was just having fun. He starts telling me he if was to buy a watch he would buy a breitling, he started talking about the brand and said Rolex watches are mass produced and breitling is a family owned company and make way less watches better quality etc. fast forward 10 years and I have one of each and love them both but the reason for my rant is how things change back then I could of bought whatever they had if I had the means, now I have to kiss a salesman’s ass to get a watch. I really hope things go back the way it was.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thanks for your comment! I appreciate it.

[@michaellui74]

Great video Tony👍👍no one buy Rolex than there will be lots of Rolex in every AD dealer. AD will be begging you to go in and buy one🤣🤣🤣

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thanks. And thanks for your comment.

[@RootBeerGMT]

There are plenty of good Rolex that can be had for reasonable prices. The GMTs and Subs, quasi vintage are great watches. The ceramic GMT TT oyster is amazing. As is the seadweller 43. All can be had under 15k.

[@drew-h4x]

Old Rolex were terrible,bad bracelets , not COSC, poorly put together

[@drew-h4x]

Oh and stamped clasps

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

There definitely are some nice pieces at reasonable prices.

[@davidparrishproductions5082]

Yeah man, this is the first year in a long long long time I can remember that I have not bought a single watch. Hoping things change in the future.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Hey man! Next year! You deserve it. 🤙🤙

[@hbmex1928]

Great video Tony! I really appreciate your insight in this area. I think eventually there will be Rolex watches back in display cases, but not for a long time. Maybe sometime after they open the new facility in 2029. I hope the insane demand for Rolex will eventually die down. Thanks for answering my question. Take care.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thanks man! And, thanks for your question. 🤙🤙😊😊

[@hemantishwaran5741]

Having looked at many online places, it looks like Rolex is selling at 25% over retail for most models except of course the crazy hard to get models (like the Pepsi which is insanely going for 25K and higher). Do you think the 25% above retail will decrease to more reasonable numbers anytime soon?

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Hey man. I’ll add to the Q&A.

[@davidelliott948]

It all comes down to the economic principle of supply and demand.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Yeah, I said that as well. But thanks for your comment.

[@geoffwyness2645]

Who cares now.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

A lot of people. You are one of the bandwagon fans I was talking about in my video. But I’m guessing you just commented based on the title and didn’t actually watch the video.

[@wristopia4101]

Hey Tony, tough question: How sad are we all (watch guys) and how should we cope with that? I showed a fellow watch guy/family member my Tudor FXD after he commented on it and he immediately pulled the nato back (without asking) to see if it was an MN21 (or 22/23)! I love to interact watches with other watch guys, but it's often of no real benefit to me (in the same way other hobbies are) and I am left feeling watches are more a personal thing.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

I’ll add to the Q&A.

[@aaronmauer7225]

My guess is only if demand goes down and this game they are playing starts to hurt them

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

🤷

[@pq19476]

Why did you delete your video on your career? I used to do what you do, was interesting to hear your perspective. Also- Mark from Long Island Watch says what’s up, he’s in Dix hills and met him the other day. Seiko is such a foundation for collecting and I appreciate all avenues (Seiko, Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Grand Seiko, Baltic, Longines, Zodiac, etc.)

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

I didn’t delete any video.

[@MM-xm7fr]

Hi, under given circumstances in the world I do not see any signal which will change the price path of the watches on the second market… will go slowly down and down to find a stable price level… which most of the models of brand will be under retail… of course not the models like daytona, royal oak, nautilus and so on… but black sub, dayjust and som on… any reason to be over retail…. lets see :)

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thanks for your comment.

One more from Florida, a refugee from California, born and lived in San Diego until three years ago. Fing Socialist. So i send you a note on buying or waiting the new Speedmaster. Was leaving on a trip and couldn't find in Europe where i was, but riding home on a cruise a Zenith Defy Skyline in blue w/ the little 10 second dial. Anyway it called me and my wife loved it. Well it came home with me. Going though some hoops to get a couple of links. So i can wear it but its to tight, same tith the rubber strap. So there ordered and have to come from Switzerland, the two AD's by me in SE Florida and the main US distributior in New York had none. So well see how long? Anyway you started with a Zenith, and that was cool. Didn’t know much about them , but did my research and 100% first class watch. So I'll be waiting for the Speedy. Love the show.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Hey man! Thanks for your comment! Great story, and glad you picked up a Zenith! Hopefully you will get your links/strap soon! 😊🤙🤙

[@michaeldemarco899]

I can tell you I’m still waiting for a blue dial sky dweller and a Pepsi for 1.5 years with a sizable purchase history. So the “hype” pieces are still on the more difficult side to get. I’ve been allocated a submariner no date, sea dweller 43, root beer, and a couple of other pieces over the last two years with much smaller wait times. But the damn sky dweller and Pepsi are elusive! It’s fine I check in once a month with my AD, I visit them often, and I keep the relationship alive. I also wanted the to display my watches on a limited basis and I’m waiting for the CEO to give me an answer. It’s interesting when you go from client to potential vendor the relationship changes a little bit.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Best of luck. Hope they come in soon!

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

You have some nice pieces as well. 🤙🤙
