“We don’t sell, we consult”. What a line.

And apparently each one takes a year to make if you managed to get to the end without doing yourself some damage.

You think you know why you are here. You think you are here to buy a Rolex.
No. I tell you why you are here. You are here to consult, nothing more.
L'audace de cette plèbe <laughs>
Really Slim pickings, probably worst display in a while
Unless you fancy a PM day date with an absolutely gorgeous ice blue dial

I’ve got the blue and when I got it I let my mate have the white dial off me for RRP - my wife has never quite forgiven me as she thinks the white dial is incredible. Have to say when he wears it, it looks incredible. You’ll be very happy I’m sure :-)
An AD December 31st 2013. Couldn’t decide on a BLNR or a hulk so I took a photo to ponder over lunch. Went BLNR. Discount of 4% at the time as well. If only I’d known eh I’d have had the lot :-)

I can remember going into the local Goldsmiths at Cabot Circus at around the time this was taken, and trying on both the DSSD and sub that were sitting in the window, along with most of the other “unobtainable” SS models. Discount or interest free was offered for both, both could be had for under £5k. Seemed like a lot at the time!
I remember walking around Liverpool city centre at lunchtimes for something to do and David M Robinson had two shops and both used to be fully stocked. When the 16600 came out without the lug holes I remember standing there just looking at it for about 10 mins trying to decide if it looked better or not than the old one. Staff were extremely helpful as well, they would try and get you to go in or even pop out and ask if there was anything you wanted to see.
You didn’t need to buy new as Haywood’s shop was just up the road and they always had most of the models a lot cheaper.
I took this picture in WoS London - September 2019! Available to walk in and buy - which colour dial Sir?

Even in late 2016 early 2017 these watches were available in AD's, normally with a small discount or at worst a first free service offered along with interest free credit should you require it.
Yes I was travelling through Heathrow very regularly 2015-2017 and never a problem. It’s “only” the last 3-4 years.
I cant see anything getting back to normal again. Demand due to Social has made the lists crazy.
Maybe the grey price will slump but I cant see them getting back to RRP
Datejust 36 blue sunburst dial, fluted bezel, oyster bracelet in Mallorys, Bath.

The residuals also give genuine enthusiasts the confidence to buy more and buy at a higher value.
Do you really see Rolex, PP or AP giving up what they have right now? They will hold onto this for as long as possible. This is just how things are now.
Next recession will be this decade so we will see how willing people are to pay nuts prices then.
Yes agreed.
From my experience dealer buy watches in at approximately 20-30% of the price they are then retailed at unless it’s very new release which seems to be around 15%.
My point was these “in demand” watches all seem to be sitting in dealers at there over inflated prices not selling over the past 6 months or so, hence me thinking the market is shifting and due a correction. The dealers who seem to shift the watches are the ones who have them for sale at a reasonable price.
Just my opinion of cause.
No chance I would have 7 of them new from the AD and be on the list for another 3 if they lost 30% as soon as I walked out the door. If I did I wouldn't be paying RRP or I'd be buying used.
I'm not a flipper, I don't sell. One of them is probably worth £5k less than what I bought it for a few weeks ago but overall the residuals give me the confidence to buy more and try stuff I wouldn't have considered before. The amount I'm up on my BLNR offsets the loss on my YM42 if I was to ever sell so in my head that's acceptable.
Not sure why any of that wouldn't make someone a genuine enthusiast. If someone liked cars and had 7 BMWs would that make them less worthy than someone with 7 Caterhams or a varied collection with an MX-5 involved?
I am a lucky boy then as paid £5,000 for my BLNR and £3,450 for my Z blue Milgauss.
Still have them and they are going nowhere.
Bought my Hulk first Rolex in 2015 and was happy with the fact it’ll be worth more when Rolex put prices up.
The massive increases blow my mind
