23,750 USD for Two Tone Root Beer in HK

Are prices going crazy? These used to be Daytona prices

Seems about right. Prices will keep going up. Not surprised anymore. Fear of missing out is legit.

Not surprised. It is around 17000GBB in the UK so similar to the price in HK.

Random checking last night and come with this article in 2017. Interesting...

The billion-dollar grey market in watches upsets big brands

Can’t read the article unfortunately without a subscription, but not knowing what it says and just reading the headline, then surely this has got to be an overriding reason to take sales online and control who gets what from the mothership?

You have to say either "insane" or "crazy" to follow the standard format of these posts.

Ex:

Find the highest priced listing on Chrono24 for a particular model.

Then create a post that says: "This is INSANE!" or "The Rolex market is CRAZY!" (just like the OP did)

All responses should then include the terms "insane" or "crazy" for full dramatic effect.

Rinse and repeat every week.

All that being said, madness is synonymous with crazy. So, your post passes.

True, seems to be a recurring topic.
