Would price drop on 114060 Sub?

[baldyspoon]

A couple of people have said on other threads to wait for the price of the 114060 to drop before buying, as the 14060 was not a great seller and think the same for this one. However I have never seen the price of a Rolex drop only go up, what are people's thoughts on this.

In the used market, yes, but only temporarily!
In the AD, it will only increase for a BNIB!

I think they are talking about pre owned or grey market. They might come down a bit like most other models but who knows for sure
Cheers

Yuppers

[artschool]

problem is that they are in limited supply in the uk at the moment. so I can't imagine the price will vary till that changes.

[JohnFM]

The price will drop -- 10 percent ;-)

I figured that by the time the demand died down, Rolex would have another price increase, so I just bit the bullet and got one of the first ones that showed up in the San Diego area.

same thinking...but havent seen it in msia AD yet though..maybe i'll drop by at an AD this weekend..

[jolimont]

might take a year or 2

[rickyslam]

It'll probably be a while, like everyone says. Probably another year or two and you'll get some kind of discount on it considering Rolex doesn't announce another price hike.

I'm biased on this watch, but I don't think the price is going anywhere on this watch.

This new model is awesome.

I'm hoping for a better supply to come around Nov-Dec and drive the grey market prices down a bit but if not by then, I am hopeful that prices will drop for a very short time right before the next price increase.

There's a Maxi case ND sub in the AD window in Helsinki. That's sort of showing it might be a slow seller...

Strange, I think it looks awesome.

For comparison I've once seen a maxi sub date in the window.

OR, it could be its so new and hardly any ADs have them yet they have it in tw widow to "attract" potential buyers. The watch had only been out a few months, I think presuming its a poor seller cause it's in a dealers window is jumping I a quick conclusion. I know I always look and see what they in the window, and it's usually the primo merchandise and not stuff they can't sell.

Just my .02

The 114060 has been sitting in my local AD for months now collecting dust. My local has a few of them and they are not selling, and this AD is one of Rolex's top selling AD's in the country. IMHO, way to much money for a watch without even a date feature.

The other issue that will complicate things is Rolex reducing ADs margin on all watches - it just doesn't make sense for an AD to sell a steel sports watch with any meaningful discount, the profit just isn't there.

Well, there you have it OP, go to an AD in Arizona, and see what kind of a deal they can offer on these watches which are just collecting dust.

Not even close to the truth. Collecting dust?! No way. I live in Arizona.

Why don't you send me a pm and we can talk, because it is the truth. I don't know what AD's your shopping at, but it seems like they are feeding you some BS. I am well aware that you are in AZ, that is why I was surprised that you think they are so had to come by. I can send you right to a street corner were you will see one in the window, go inside and you will see a few more in the cases.

So yes, it is the truth. Send me a pm and I will educate you before you say that my reply is not the truth.

It may be your truth and your perception, but I don't agree with it. You might know a magical AD that has "lots", but that's not my perception. That's all. I've only seen a few advertised on our boards. If thu were so available, you'd see more. Furthermore, I've seen people posting that they can't find them, or sharing leads with fellow members on where to get them.

They're not "hard to come by", but right now they are limited since they are just coming on to the market, so your assessment that they are "collecting dust" by the truckloads doesn't make sense to me. In all the ADs I've been in recently, I've only seen one at Hamra.

I'm pretty sure you're not the supreme knowledgable one about stock levels on a new model in Arizona. That's great you know an AD with many, but does that mean I'm wrong?? In my opinion, I don't think so. The model needs more time in market before we can make judgements. Not sure why you're set on slandering this model....

PS: I'm just debating with you. My intention is not to offend or create friction. Just letting you know cause sometimes words can be can misinterpreted.

I would imagine the prices will stay around to where they are. If anything, it will go up as Rolex increase their prices from time to time. If you're going to buy, I would when the right deal comes to you in the NEAR FUTURE.

From my personal experience, I always end up selling a watch thinking I won't like it anymore. After a few months/year, I purchase the same watch right back for a little more and that is because of the price increases. Used markets will rise in time as well. I remember back one year, you could purchase a 116234 DJ for under 4500. You won't be able to find that now.

I am not slandering the 114060, all I am saying is that they are not selling that well. They have been out for months now, and they have been here in the valley for months now. My AD has had them in stock for quite some time now, literally months. I know other AD's that have not received them, but they don't sell many watches so they are way down the list when new models come out.

I'm not name calling. Geese. Just making a point that none of us have 100% stock levels just cause one AD has many. Sometimes my words come across more aggressive then I mean to. Trust me. I'm a very laid back guy, I'm just passionate about my hobbies. No ill intention directed at all.

I'm just debating here. Passionately.

Great thread! Has anyone done a measurement comparison between ceramic lugs vs. per-ceramic lugs?
