Can't help wondering if the bean counters at Rolex are asking the marketing/pricing department; "why are we making a product, that is sold for 2, 3 or 4 times our recommend price, after we've sold it to our retailers. Are we mad ?"

No one would buy one for 2x if it were sitting in the case available to any walk in.

Rolex has a rare thing called Ethics. The world could use more of this imho.

The watches are only really worth MSRP price at best. Everything else is just supply and demand. Also a bit of FOMO.

They can raise the price but if they do so, they can't ever lower it again since it would devalue the brand. Right now it may be fine but if there's significant downturn in the economy or if demand starts to fall drastically it will be harder to move at the higher prices.
