Inflated prices have always been based on investors passing around watches among themselves and jacking up prices. Their economic model has hit the wall. They are classic bag holders.
And hype beasts, are they going to want to wear a toxic investment they paid 2-3X msrp? Imagine being the guy who paid $50k for a panda; how will he feel knowing Pandas go for $35k today, maybe $25k in a few months, and even 15k or less in a year or two. That’s like meeting someone still hoarding hand sanitizer and covid masks.
All those hoarded/investment watches will be hitting the market soon. It will start as a trickle, then as a liquidation. The only buyers will be die hard watch enthusiasts; the crowd that was here 10-15 years ago. And they are discount shoppers.
