Lots of “collectbale” references there.
Out of curiousity, how quickly are these selling at these prices |

Cannot blame the retailers for trying to make money and feed the hype.
Look how many threads there are here each day asking about what watch will be collectible in the future and which watch will go up the most in value in the future.

i have no idea why that store would list RRP next to "our price" for that BLNR.
Yes, we know we are getting screwed, but thanks for the extra reminder |

This is in line with Watchfinder pricing who set the market here so have to assume these will still sell... until Basel at least. |

They would not confirm or deny the new Rolex rules that we have been discussing. However they did confirm losing AP status at the end of the year. Since they didn't deny the Rolex rules and because the didn't look at me like i was crazy , im taking that as a non-confirmation, confirmation. |

THey also had a black dial 116520 at £13,995 ($19,300) ! Crazy - isn't it. At today's rates the Sky D is $22,000 and the BLNR is $12,400. Its probably a little high for a black dial Sky D - watchfinder have white dial BNIB for £13,995 and a mint blue for £16,150. MRSP is £10,600. As Ken has said, its wrong (an old style box). Not surprising with that retailer and they've probably mixed the boxes up with another reference.

I disagree, just go in to the store and you'll see how fast they "collect" your money.

That's ASKING price. As for what they sell for.....
What? You didn't mine them yourself for a few hundred $$$, or buy when it was on par with GLD? It's still "bonus season" to many people worldwide.

Remember the UK culture isn't one in which haggling over price and asking for a discount is common and many people won't even bother to ask for a discount, simply paying the asking price.
They'll sit there until they sell as that retailer doesn't particularly entertain discounts. Its also pretty much the going rate these days over here.

Crazy. Here's hoping some pricing "sanity" returns soon to the UK for all my friends over there.
