Shocking quick incoming!


I’m new to my area and walked into the AD on Saturday afternoon to see if I could be put on the list. She took my information and we browsed the jewelry. My wife wanted a ring ($3k) and we bought it, then went about our business. Well, 48h after making contact, this was all mine. I’m super happy and was floored that it happened so quickly. I still have to get it sized this weekend (my wife picked it up since I was at work). I am in love.

Monitoring the forum, and from my recent experience, the LV you obtained is not as 'rare' as it once was. Don't know what happened but many more of these are now available.

My SA told me last week when she offered one to me (declined) that her AD has seen a substantial increase of this model arriving in the last few months.

I was offered a Bluesy over the weekend by my AD. I already own one, and looking around the classified forums, brand new are going for same as AD retail plus tax. I think supply is coming up, demand is going down, and a recession (however soft) is already impacting the market for the favor of us buyers.

Many collectibles markets are going back to normal. Watches are not much different. However, there will still be record breaking sales at auction this year. It is a good time for new comers to understand what “investment” grade Rolexes actually are.

We saw this all through out the fall of prices in the last 2 years. When it’s something actually rare, then it still goes for way above.

16599 Daytona - first of its kind gemset. Will break records. Likely going to take rainbow Daytona pricing up with it.

1675 GMT - first GMT on the moon. Likely to take 1675 pricing up.

You really think 1675 prices overall will go up as a result?

Amateur move, my friend. When my wife starts eyeing jewelry, I immediately fake a leg cramp and limp us straight toward the exit

You bought a 126610LV for $13.8K and got a free ring.

Lol

Jokes aside, nice pick-up mate!

You’re not wrong. LOL. Although, we have been married for 6 years and I never bought her an engagement/wedding ring because she never found anything she liked. I think $3k is getting off light after 6 years.

Nice! I think this one is much easier to wear than the all green prior version. Good choice!
