Thx and yes indeed tho that thread is really just the New Pepsi. Overall, seems ~$20k is the new SS price for models guys like us desire to own and wear often. i 'get it' and all that with grey pricing, yet guys like me who wear 'em can't help but see the bubble.

We live in interesting times.

Prices are out of control.

Can't see it lasting. The WG one would be a better buy since the SS one has to settle a lot lower.. being identical in appearance save the bracelet everyone doesn't like.

Agreed. Rolex knows exactly whats going on here and they are doing it for a reason. They have full control here. They just wont tell us their rationale instead I'm sure they are having fun sitting around watching all the attention and drama over their SS watches.

Yeah. Because of it, I did my man math and end d up paying msrp on a WG Daytona oysterflex... but whatever, I love the watch. Plus, it’ll put me closer to the SS GMT BLRO at msrp.

Many people would rather upgrade to PM than pay those prices for SS. Can't really blame them.

Absolutely!!!

No

Hard_Six · 31 May 2018, 04:25 AM

I'm certainly not a buyer of a SS Rolex at that price.

RaceDoc11 · 2 June 2018, 02:07 PM

Exactly! NOTHING in life worth a premium.

I think the pepsi will be temporary before dropping to hulk or batman prices. I could see the daytona and skydweller staying up there indefinitely though.

I thought I saw SS Sky-Ds (non-blue) priced around $15k, hardly over MSRP.

breitlings · 31 May 2018, 04:45 AM

I've said it a few years ago but I think 20k will be about the MSRP soon for many SS references including 500.

shirtguy · 31 May 2018, 04:46 AM

if so then for a few $ more go with pm

I think Gold and Platinum will commensurately go up, in about 10 years I'd guess rolex prices will double across the board and production slashed.

travisb · 31 May 2018, 04:57 AM

It seems to be. I won't pay it. I'll wait my turn at retail.
I can see the SkyD and Pepsi settling a little eventually (maybe) but who knows. No time soon for the Pepsi and the Daytona wouldn't surprise me to stay as is continue rising. Interesting times for sure. Many of us can remember days of 20-25% off retail on SS sport models (not including Daytona of course).
