Maybe a Rolex or a PP
I'd be okay with sending customers away empty handed, if I can get and keep a whale's business by selling them one or two rare Rolex pieces a year. If none of the Rolex pieces were rare, then I'd...
Luxury is not simply price. It's scarcity. That's why people will line up for a hoodie that says 'Supreme' on it, why they will buy their husbands a stack of belts and other crap so that Hermes...
It would seem strange, but then again, maybe it would make Rolex more money in the long run - for each randomly colored ceramic bezel variant that is introduced, customers would need to race against...
Why is it ballsy?
Would it be smarter of Richemont to let their AD's suffer for ages until they discount the stock or dump it on the grey market? Buying back stock helps out their ADs and...
Women want a well advertised brand name more than anything else.
Women are not interested in 'quality' objectively speaking.
Do not attempt to persuade women to get something other than what...
It's like Hermes Birkin Handbags, except for men and unlike the handbags, the parts are fully machine made. For some, scarcity will be an attraction I suppose, and I'm not deluded enough to think...
It's because they are referring to interest-free finance. 3rd party finance companies are contracted to provide the finance, and the watch retailer pays the interest (presumably, since the customer...
I couldn't agree more - my point however is that one would not arrive at such a course of action if we simply accepted the market price of houses full stop.
With houses, as with Rolexe Daytonas,...
I'll go and tell the politicians and economists to stop fretting that houses are incomprehensibly unaffordable to the average earner - clearly the market is prepared to pay and thinking about it any...
Why would they? If they raised the prices to the grey market price, then by definition people wouldn't be rushing to grab them from ADs. God forbid maybe getting a Daytona would be straightforward...
Dealer margin is something like 50-60%. The watch brand net profit margins are something like 20% before you consider things like advertising, etc. So if they sold a lump of gold worth £1,000 that...
Pen pouches or sleeves would be perfect from that amount of material. Also a pouch for one pair of cufflinks - I hate how all cufflinks boxes are huge, I just need something to keep them from...
Nobody seems interested in how Daytonas Vs Stocks have done historically...
You could have bought a Zenith Daytona for about USD $2,300 in 1988. I know nothing about Rolex prices but let's say...
I don't know about you, but after the huge price increases over the last 10 years, I have been spending less on watches. So I guess that means the answer is 'no'
Furthermore, the watch industry's...
Is there also some joke to be had regarding the nicknames of Rolex models? I.e. Batman, Hulk.... ergo Titan?
I personally agree that one should buy a watch for the watch and not for the brand. But in that case why buy a Kobold? I've always seen them as vastly overpriced watches, though perhaps you've paid...
Great! Which one did you go for? Any photos?
This must be the most efficient 'advice' post ever in terms of question-feedback-execution. :)
Sell that Captain and buy a Chronomaster, that'll get you the retro styling with a solid movement.
You can also tell a 2892 from a 7750 from pusher and crown alignment. For 7750 they will be precisely in line. For a 2824, 2892, or many others that are modular, the chrono pushers are closer to the...
CAD and CNC are two different things. Designing stuff by computer and then making it by hand (or manually operated machine, etc) is analogous to just having a better way of drawing designs. You...
I'm not sure as big a percentage of employment in an economy four times the size of the UK's depends on intellectual property theft as you think ...
I would bet that turning a blind eye is more...
Outstanding shop in my experience
If times were tough and my wife were supportive, taking care of the family, and being very understanding that I am working hard despite my job not being as high paying as we'd like, I'd probably be...
Woah did I teleport back in time to 2007?
