Rolex prices

[Flasher]

Everyone, just been looking over the secondary market dealers this afternoon and the level of asking prices over RRP. Got me thinking on what the market would look like if RRP was actually at the levels in the secondary market and whether buyers would start to think twice if a BLNR was RRP £10K, Hulk £10.5k, Deepsea was £13k and would a Daytona still be value at £17k RRP.

Obviously Rolex will increase prices at some point in the future and maybe in a couple of years, with Brexit and custom taxes etc affecting the market, maybe a BLNR will cost £10k etc.

Could the secondary market still charge a premium, BLNR £12k! Do you think that Rolex pricing has a limit to what they could charge RRP before being laughed at.

I reckon Rolex know the game better than anyone else.

More of a Kerplunk player myself but you can get back to your Comics and leave this thread alone as it does not interest you.

The query/question asked is valid though.

Certain people on this forum hold grudges though.

They certainly do play the game very well and have done so for some time, could well say the same for Patek etc. Obviously Rokex, Patek can control levels of production and pricing too some extent but outside influences such as currency fluctuations and customs duties have an affect.

Purely hypothetical my starting post and you can always point to the RRP that Patek and AP place on steel models but would a £10k or £13k RRP on a Rolex professional give you a pause for thought before buying.

Yes, certainly.

Patek Aquanaut and 5711 and 5712 is perfect example. I’d have bought at previous RRP but now it’s too much for SS, I’d sooner have a 5146

If rolex RRP become the grey/2nd market price the RRP of Patek, Vacheron & AP will go up.

Rolex has already become apple of the watch world by establishing itself as the de facto leader due to marketing.

Rolex is no different to apple if they increase the price by 30% over all nobody cares as they are now the bench market regardless of how bad or good they are

I think you have to add in desirability nobody wants a 5416.
