Impact of Tudor back in US on the used market?

As of now, it seems that preowned Tudors in the US drive a premium just because they are not otherwise sold here. So does anyon think that since Tudor's will be more available that the preowned prices may drop a bit?

Personally I think it's great that they will be back. I can't wait to see them in person.

I doubt preowned prices will drop. The WIS who like them know what they are worth...Rolex / Tudor will have to work for a while to build awareness for the Tudor brand if that is their strategy.

Rank and file / casual buyers don't know what Tudors are - yet. I cannot see Rolex doing a ton personanly.

Demand might go up once the brand gets recognized more here. I think it will be a wash.

It'll plunge

More supply with less than equivalent raised demand = drop in resale or perceived value

Ill wait to purchase another tudor till dust settles

The real danger is the increase in the price of Rolex to widen the gap.
