[@superspectral7573]

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.

Rolex will only increase production if they can maintain the current quality standards they have. I think some watches will correct in prices but moving forward there will always be a demand higher than supply for Rolex watches. I can see them making less steel watches and more two tone and precious metals because they can make more money per movement produced.

Absolutely correct in your take Marc. Rolex will protect their brand (and hype) by keeping supply lower than demand but keep increasing prices on those hyped models as often as they can to catch up with retail market prices with this with the help of the grey dealers.

Well the millennials are jumping very hard into watch collecting at this time so your perception that Rolex is an old man brand doesn’t ring true anymore. Look at Cadillac, used to be the old man car but they are working very hard and succeeding at selling to the 40 year olds. It will become an aspiration for the 30 year olds and will keep the brand fresh.

@@marcgoldbergdogtrainer I have to disagree. Most of the Millennials do not have watches and those who have, cannot get Rolex at the AD (normal price). The only way for them to get ons is to ask their rich father to get one for them. 30 years ago, I was not interested in Rolex, so boring, just an old man watch. Now? Rolex are still as boring as before and are still old man watches. But I am old now, so I have one. Cadillac... this is an American thing, nobody would buy that in Europe, except old men dreaming of "Happy Days".

They won't build new factories and produce many more watches just because some people are frustrated they can't get a watch. Some people forget they are not a company beholden to share holders as Marc has stated.

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.

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.

[@sgm7777]

Awesome video thank you 🙏

[@stockholmpublishings2937]

You always have interesting thoughts Marc.

[@craigfroude8109]

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

[@marcgoldbergdogtrainer]

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.

[@roymorrison6713]

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.

[@dannythomas7902]

Really easy

[@OGcottoncandyrandy]

Excellent video Marc!

[@souths4014]

It's already crashing. Also, their brand is being destroyed by have some rappers called the island boys endorsing the product!😅

[@dademack3544]

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.

[@marcgoldbergdogtrainer]

It’s the end of the World as we know it and I feel fine.

[@yakumotatsuro4886]

to answer your question; No, not yet

[@pokerrich9]

No

[@h25b]

No, no it won’t.

[@gmotionedc5412]

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.

[@samuelburton5576]

Hater!!! I guess you hate AP and PP as well because it is happening with them in hyper drive. What's embarrassing is you hating on Rolex and complaining

[@samuelburton5576]

By the way, you are contradicting yourself. Get a ☝️👉

Stick to dog training

[@johnjansen9933]

First of all, thanks for the nice videos. however, I think this is generally too much about investment and money. I miss the real purism a bit. but I always look to your video's. ps. wear what you like.

[@rolexer]

It'll burst. It always does.

[@marcgoldbergdogtrainer]

Examples to support your assertion please. Here’s mine. The stock market plunged in 1929. And then recovered. Just took time. So is this a bubble? Or is this a carefully curated strategic plan?

[@vika0194]

Nope

[@MrThehardway]

Great points Marc...that's why the 50 year anniversary Explorer II was so underwhelming; when a company plans on selling a product Forever, 50 years can become rather underwhelming when you're planning for the 500 year anniversary!

Respektos!

Rolex will never achieve the level of true exclusivity enjoyed by Patek. Nor, I suspect, do they have the slightest intention of trying.

[@marcgoldbergdogtrainer]

You say that but they already have far better name recognition among the general public and they are not so slowly working their prices up.

[@shaverray4462]

@@marcgoldbergdogtrainer Name recognition alone doesn’t make something exclusive. Moët & Chandon and Mercedes Benz both enjoy outstanding name recognition and, although luxury brands, are nowhere near as exclusive as relatively lesser known brands like LR Cristal or Maybach.

[@Invisible-Man666]

GP is the new Rolex

[@samuelburton5576]

Why do you say that Farer?

[@marcgoldbergdogtrainer]

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.

[@fezcap]

Anthony Farrer trolling, and trying to pump GP prices. Marc I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but GP Laureatos go for around retail now. They are officially the second overflow watch behind the overseas for the royal oaks and nautilus going out of reach for many.

[@naturalLin]

MAybe there will be more Rolex watch theft to lower demand ;)

[@marcgoldbergdogtrainer]

There already is doesn’t lower demand but does mean you have to be careful!

[@geoffwyness2645]

Blah,blah,blah…just more endless yapping about Rolex,I’ve forgotten about this brand and feel 10 years younger,life is too short to obsess about something like a watch.

[@hph4833]

then why did you bother watching the video and then commenting? Haha

[@samuelburton5576]

Marc you are right on about this. You have good insight on the watch market who puts things In perspective without bias like so many other you tubers who live off grey markets sales from Rolex but trash the brand. I won't mention names but if I were a Rolex swiss representative I would take note of who trashes my brand and throw a couple of elbows with people selling to them, find the serial numbers and cut off ADs selling to them.

[@marcgoldbergdogtrainer]

Some of the gray market KZbinrs may be afraid to make waves but some are very brave and say it like they see it. At the end of the day, I’m a dog trainer, watch collector but not watch seller so I have nothing to lose by talking turkey!

[@samuelburton5576]

True that. I just think it's refreshing not to always see you tubers who are narsassist and/or have inflated egos of themselves. I won't mention names but they know who they are. Also I'm glad you don't sit around in your torn and tattered underwear begging for money on you tube! Won't mention names
