GMT II meteorite crazy grey price

[StarryNights]

I just saw the GMT II with meteorite dial appear on DavidSW, crazy price!

[Lemonvr6]

What about the $24,000 BLNR?

[quakeroatmeal]

Wow that price is insane, and it's not on a jubilee!

[Bshaf]

This is sad. I respect David tremendously but come on now! 23k for the blnr?!

At this price point I would have to be done with buying a new Rolex. I love the brand but don’t value them as much as the free market does. I am from the generation of walking in any AD and buying a SS Sub for $3k in the 1990’s. My CHNR may be my last “new” Rolex.

Demand is nuts and so are prices but that's chump change to some buyers.

Ditto. I'm now into Tudor, which can be had for much less than Rolex branded watches.

If people are paying $90,000 for a SS sports Patek (RRP something like $28,000 ?). Then the price for grey Rolex SS is pretty good going !

it really depends how much someone made him pay for it .. I hope his exposure is not 21k ;)

How do you justify wearing a BLNR you got from your AD when you can profit $16,000 according to his pricing

And this is why the flipping will never stop. I’m not a flipper but for a 16k profit? A no brainer for anyone. Business is BOOMING!

Meanwhile the brand new TT GMT in YG with the black bezel is a relative steal at $13k, and I bet you could get it for less than that.

[cdubg21]

Greed, plain and simple

[epc2]

The problem is not how much is he asking is how much he paid.

[RichM]

It’s sick and getting sicker.

No doubt!
If Rolex wanted to put a stop to this today is the day and these specific watches are the ones to do it with. There can't be too many out on the street yet and they know which cards have been run already. It is way past time for Rolex to address the situation.

[quakeroatmeal]

I'm sure this means everyone else online will follow suit the moment they get one too.

This makes me wonder, do they all sit around and discuss pricing?

Like when the black ceramic GMT was discontinued and they ALL removed stock and then posted them at all around the same price.

Shady. This honestly really mars my perception of certain "Amazing Honorable Wonderful Stand Up Trusted Sellers" without mentioning names.

[Keepchasing]

Don't worry guys, we've been told that this is the new norm, remember?

Not everybody gets this. He did not pay $9k (MSRP price) so for now it is what it is. Somebody is going to pay for the 1st one that can't be had anywhere.

[Syed117]

Are we really going to create a new thread every time a seller lists a price for a new watch?

Come on, are you been serious? Comparing a Patek with Rolex?
Rolex is mass produced- Paket is not

[Chiboy]

This is ridiculous, but the same thing happened with the BLRO. Gray price was more than double MSRP, but didn't last long. I do wonder why people would pay the extra $5k - $10 over the gray price a few months down the line. We all know that virtually NO ONE notices your watch, so the desire to pay up big time to be first on your block with a slightly different BLNR seems kinda crazy.

That said, Trusted Sellers are getting more and more like ticket brokers every day.

Maybe those willing to pay those prices think EVERYONE will notice...

[Tampashooter]

I love reading all the whining about watches you have no intention of owning, at any price.. If you only knew how much the grays paid for hot items like this...lol

Conversely, where was the outrage when you could save thousands off of retail 3 years ago?

I don’t get your point. The Patek is more than 3x MSRP, whereas the Rolex is only sitting at 2.1x MSRP; that’s my point. Not the quality of the movement...

No one noticed the WG YM he had posted a couple days ago is now sold (I forget the asking price) but it is no longer on the site.

It's a business - supply and demand. He always obtains the rare/new releases and can ask whatever price he wants; does not mean it sold for asking but both sides original buyer and re-seller profit. If there are people willing to pay these outrageous premiums, than his asking or selling prices are working.

Recall last year when he had his hands on the SS BLRO - sold for $23k and someone purchased it (a TRF member).

I definitely won't pay grey prices but some people will and the cycle will continue year after year.

Yes, I do no agree with it but it is what it is. To have bragging rights for wearing the new 2019 release and not waiting for months/years - is important to some. Just my opinion.

This. And to many, $10k is an absolute blip.
