I have no doubt that you are correct that Rolex is pricing their watches at a level that *if* there was a significant retrenchment that the authorized dealers would be able to sell their new stock at or near list price. The question is whether the inflating market prices and the purchase of Rolexes as "investments" will continue to drive demand vs. old school collectors and people who want to mark a life's accomplishment. My guess is that higher interest rates, the end of fed money printing, a slowing stock market, crypto retrenchment, inflation, etc. will reduce the amount of "funny money" for non-traditional asset purchases. I can certainly say I'm feeling the inflation and market squeeze much more than a year ago.

In 1985 my grandfather retired and his work bought him a Rolex Daytona. It was stolen from the retirement home he was in in 1999. I told this story to a Rolex AD last week and when he told me what that watch would be worth today shocked me. They not only robbed him but robbed me. It was priceless to me and that's why I went into an AD to buy one and hope I can pass it down without being stolen this time.

Safe buy at retail. Not at Gray. The world is heading for turbulent times. Unlike stocks and mutual funds, or plain old cash, you can't sub-divide a Daytona, so it's either "sell" or "hold" when you need cash. Now, we know this is the internet, so every Rolex owner is a multi-millionaire with a paid for house, 5 years of cash reserves, and even if they lose their job, they can pimp their supermodel spouse out for $10K a day instagram photoshoots. So maybe nothing happens and prices still rise? But I doubt it. For everyone else; winter is coming. It will be interesting to see how the economically impacted who need cash and are overextended will make a decision between selling their watch, or selling other devalued assets. If it's really bad, we'll see AD's offering discounts again.

It’s simpler than that. All companies only have two objectives. Make profits and protect the brand. That’s it. EVERYTHING they ever do is under one of those titles. For all “Normal” companies this is an 80% - 20% balance. With Rolex, uniquely, it’s 20% - 80%. It’s that simple. I disagree about eBay. Seller offers can be $1, and their authenticity programme and PayPal gives you a double guarantee and 100% safety (just stick to the rules). Done it 3 times, no issues at all. The only problem (happened all three times!) is the winning, highest bidder suddenly wants to treat it as a “retail sale” ie. like a shop when you see the goods then pay after inspection. They all had to be reminded - EBay is an AUCTION website. You pay THEN you get the item. Normally resolved by meeting in a bank (or PayPal), paying and depositing cash, then handing over the money to the bank (so you know the cash is genuine), then giving him the watch. Or paypal and meet at a watch dealers.

If what you say is true, and it's entirely likely, then their ADs are going to go absolutely ballistic. It's one thing if this is the result of an issue or market condition that Rolex is working on. But it's something completely different if it's a strategy Rolex is actively pursuing. If I was an AD, I'd drop Rolex so fast. Maybe Rolex, as a trust, can weather the short-term pain for the brand gain, but those ADs can't. That'll mean either A) Rolex plans to roll out their own boutiques or B) Rolex intends to sell exclusively online eventually. If that's true, then they will have to be the grand arbiters of the customer wait lists, or risk going down the road of PS5s where bots buy up all the inventory as soon as it's released, and it all goes on the grey market. I'm not sure that's an endearing strategy.

We the consumer control the market. Not the flippers or grey market dealers. If we as the consumer REFUSE to buy from them the prices would come down. The market would be flooded with the watches we want. Flippers and grey market dealers are opportunists not collectors.

It’s difficult to Rolex increase supply straight away unless they use robots which I believe this would not happen as they are like Rolls Royce and want some hands on made watches. So this means more watchmakers/skilled staff which cannot happen over night.. also there is a raw materials shortage and possibly Tudor is adding to the numbers… it will flatten out eventually but new models will come through and our now models will be discontinued so will always hold its price IMO
@marcgoldbergdogtrainer2 жыл бұрын
This is what they want you to believe. However I truly think they could ramp up much quicker than what you believe. However they will ramp up on a slow steady ramp to ensure that supply is always less than demand. Rolex does not have to maximize production, distribution or even profits. That is their advantage.
@roymorrison67132 жыл бұрын
I don’t think Rolex will increase production at all as it would mean an exponential increase in employees and one thing that coronavirus has taught us, is not to increase these liabilities especially when they don’t need too, regardless of what type of corporation they are registered as.

Crypto tanking, stocks tanking, as more people get pressured, they are gonna sell what still hasn't went down, and that will in turn put pressure on watches as well. Lots of overleveraged "influencers" out there thinking nothing can go down.

Rolex isn’t controlling anything, the market is completely nuts, prices are nuts, and people are nuts. Rolex is ruining their reputation and now are nothing but a grey dealer watch. Thats scummy and dirty. The sophisticated days of buying a Rolex with Champagne are OVER!!!! Now Rolex is a seedy shady gross grey market watch. I’m sure Hans is cursing from the grave. I would be. Embarrassing.

Hardly. GP is a great watch for a ridiculously good price if you buy it on the secondary market for a typical 40% discount. But it’s lack of name recognition and brand cachet mean that it will be collectible only among the watch illuminati.
