Well, if Kanye West's Nike Air Yeezy 1 sneakers fetch 1 million at auction, and "normal" pairs without any provenance are being sold anywhere between 10-50 K, then I guess Rolex watches are still super cheap, even in the grey market!

Ok. Old stamps are worth millions - just depends on who wants what I believe. So watches are cheap vs. other stuff people want. Still doesn't solve the shortage problem for folks that want to buy via AD. Oh, wait, there's some art someone paid $2 million for - Rolex is cheap. I don't understand these arguments, except if they are delivered "tongue in cheek" which is fine.

Hey, how about an investment "pound pound pound, dollar dollar dollar, euro euro euro argument for Rolexes. All that's left according to some. But, not me!

i'm just waiting for the market to fall out of the sneakers-world. They will have a rude awakening what little value there is.

You guys are going to inadvertently give Peter a giant welt on his head. He’s had too many face palm moments today.

There are obviously multiple other currencies - excuse my bigotry on payment options....

Agreed! Although it's cyclical with shoes, about every 10 years it seems. Unfortunately the "tie in" to Rolex is John Mayer. He's a "shoehead" (eg. Visvim Collection) and has recruited his army into the Rolex flip biz. Those people camping out for Nike's are now the competition for actual watch lovers/collectors at the AD.
