Groups of Collectors and dealers alike have sworn off buying the new kermit at such prices. I personally believe that the hype will die down becos it is nothing but a steel sub eod and at 3 times msrp makes the buyer a total fool regardless of his wealth. Hope no one gets stuffed. I will never buy at those prices, cant afford it, not rich enough not stupid enough either, sigh....😩🤣 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myxilplix Turbocharged September 10, 2020 Share September 10, 2020 Howdy folks. I need to get an chronograph omega seamaster and moonphase longines master serviced. Both watches about 10-11 years old. Does anyone have a reliable shop to recommend? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viceroymenthol 6th Gear September 10, 2020 Share September 10, 2020 People always want what they cannot have, it is just human nature, and all the more so in the luxury business. Rolex knows that very well. So don't keep your hopes up regarding supply boost from Rolex. LOL 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Rolex want to fix what ain't broke? The current situation plays to their advantage superbly. The moment they make their steel sports watches accessible to everyone, they would become another Omega. And nobody would buy their Datejust and OP any more, which is their bread and butter. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceroymenthol 6th Gear September 10, 2020 Share September 10, 2020 When this variant was first launched, the market loved it, and for the first time in decades, Omega found that demand outstripped their supply. There was even a premium attached to this watch in the gray market. So what did Omega do? They ramped up supply of this variant to ensure they could satisfy global demand. Needless to say, the desirability of this watch plummeted, and with it, its market prices. Obviously Omega had not learnt from their marketing mistakes made in the 70s and 80s that destroyed their branding, and resulted in them playing second fiddle to Rolex.

Once these people acknowledge that the skyrocketing value of their vintage/neo-vintage/current steel sports Rolex collection is entirely due to the halo effect of the unobtainable nature of current production SS Rolex from the AD, they will sing a different tune. For Rolex market pricing, there is an unspoken hierarchy. Certain models cannot surpass another in market pricing, and certain generations (4 digit, 5 digit tritium, 5 digit luminova, 6 digit, 6.1, 6.2, etc) cannot surpass another. If one model moves in price, another model will follow. This is further complicated with the factoring in of precious metals sports models. May I draw an analogy to the Singapore property landscape. Non-landed private property prices in general are directly supported by prices in the EC and HDB market. If the HDB market prices rise/crash, the EC and private condo prices will soon follow.

Viceroymenthol 6th Gear September 10, 2020 Share September 10, 2020 Summary 116610, marketed as 40mm, actual diameter is 40.2mm 126610, marketed as 41mm, actual diameter is 40.5mm Same thickness and lug-to-lug.

Viceroymenthol 6th Gear September 11, 2020 Share September 11, 2020 This guy here makes the most sense. It's only a Rolex, nowhere near haute horology. https://www.rolexforums.com/showpost.php?p=10901880&postcount=397 "Not a single soul I know would look at a Rolex Sub with a green dial, and believe you if you told that person you paid $30 grand for it. Either that person will think you are insane, or just B.S'ing out of boredom. SS Rolex Sub looks and feels like a $10k watch, tops. Throw a $3-4k grey premium for "hard to get" color combo, and this is the regular "market". I am sure any person shelling out these top dollars for this Rolex Sub will go on to learn a very expensive lesson in future. They call that "buy high, become a bag holder or sell low". an AP ROC on the other hand does look and feel like a $25-30K watch. An AP / Patek in PM looks and feels like a $30-40K watch. A SS Rolex Sub in green? hell no, lol. For the record, I am a Rolex fan and own a GMT and Daytona." 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually its very simple. stick to the winning design. Tweak slightly but keep the essence intact no matter what. Dont keh kiang too much. Classics never die, they only get better. Look at all the top brands with rich history. Same. Edited September 11, 2020 by Throttle2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So keep few model supply low so that demand remain high and ur brand will be highly sought after. rolex without sports model is same like omega if they rely on DJ and OP lol ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
