[Francist]

There’s no substitute for a Daytona.
People who says otherwise are lying to themselves.

Yep. Exactly. Color me shocked that people want one of the hardest watches to get. How many wanted the SS Daytona which actually has an affordable MSRP when compared to Patek? Nope went straight to Platinum. I wonder why?

People want what they cannot have. I would have loved to ask a follow up to every person that stated they wanted a Daytona.. I bet the majority could not even tell you anything about it beyond what is seen on the surface.

Lets stop pretending that most people really want Rolex watches because they love the history, how its made, and its great movements...People obviously do not want Omega but shocker... The Silver Snoopy sells for way over retail. Gee you mean limited supply at MSRP and some hype can mean high secondary market prices? No... It can't be. Most could probably care less about the price. They just see a flipping opportunity.

If these watches were readily available (like most Omega), most would sit on shelves just like Omega and every other watch brand.

Indeed! LOL! Most people I talk to about Rolex lately just want to make a quick buck. Current owners that purchased before the market went wild want to hold because they want to see how much higher the price will go. Couple of my friends have already said that they will sell their precious SS Subs when the secondary market decides its worth $50,000.

On another note: Omega said that they would put me on a list for a Snoopy, but only if I spend $50k there.....

Its indeed a great time to be alive!
