Not a lot of point waiting to see what comes out next month as it won’t be available to most on here for several years at least. I’m surprised the JC is still going, could be a contender for being...

Thank god for that, I thought it was a special language used by the WhatsApp types.

For any of you guys still waiting for the call, watch fund overflowing and cash burning a hole in your pocket, desperate to buy something. This could be the answer:

I’ve been looking for a blurred Milgauss for years. I nearly snagged one from a well known authorised dealer in Liverpool who do not begin with G who shit on me, so it wasn’t to be.

Clearly the real world and the social media world are in different universes.

So that represents your opinion of probably a fair chunk of the forum.

Nice…

Maybe for some models, but a lot of buyers are heavily influenced by ‘asset value’ (rather than investment), knowing that they can easily sell their trinket when the boiler or the Audi needs some...

I sold a watch the other week, that watch is now listed for sale by the dealer for £4.5k more than they paid me. Too be fair, the dealer offered me more than I was asking on SC, so no complaints.

Milgauss pricing is very interesting and I personally believe some in the trade have got it wrong. Before the withdrawal announcement I was looking to buy and you could buy the Z Blue in mint...

I’ve seen several of these second hand very close to list, £11.2 to £11.5 territory. Obviously unworn stickered examples will cost more.

Interesting video. Shame the guy didn’t touch on the...

White gold, 40mm Blue face day date, has to be the top of the Rolex tree unless you get excited by Milsubs and Comex etc. Definately an end game watch.

Ultimately it is the greys who are driving the market and not Rolex. Whilst someone can buy a new watch for £10k, instantly flip it for £20k and the greys list it for £30k the market and the demand...

No, but I’m guessing a fair percentage are just looking to make a quick buck.

Let’s say an AD (Goldsmiths, WOS etc) suddenly take a big delivery from Rolex. Each store gets 100 steel Daytona and...

Human nature, we want what we can’t have, as soon as we get the call we become suspicious, why me, how many people have turned it down so we run a mile.

I bet if these stores started ringing round...

Odd, I went into Goldsmiths in Liverpool a few months back and they let me try several on. There was nothing for sale, so I suppose it helped the guy pass half an hour.

Why don’t they put some sort of sign up, something diplomatic like ‘a request for a Daytona or a GMT often results in a smack in the face’. Simple and to the point.

What is the yearning, to own this particular watch or to achieve that by getting to the front of the queue and receiving the call. I agree with others, that call is very unlikely to happen. The...

The same doomsayers predicted the collapse of the Daytona prices a few years back and they have more than doubled since. Nothing is certain, but unless Rolex start filling their stores with more...

I would agree. I bought a steel ceramic Daytona in 2016 for £13.75k against a list at that time of around £8.5k and some thought that was madness. Unfortunately I sold that on before the market went...

Plus 16 years of enjoying the watch.

I’ve thought that, if each AD received as many of each model that they wanted and starting ringing around saying we have the watch in, plenty for everybody, there will even be stock in the windows...

My first house was a three bedroom semi with panoramic views across Liverpool Bay and large garden - £23k.

I still walk past it from time to time, god only knows what it’s worth now, probably more...

Nick.

Its one of the very few times i’ve ever made any money on a bleedin’ watch

I bought one off Watchfinder for around £8,250, sold it through a dealer who got £18k for it and took a couple of grand in commission, but the balance paid for a new bathroom and it was nice to get...

Saw this today:

I didn’t pay that much for my house.

Must remain positive, must remain positive…
