Do WF have the papers because if they do it is unlikely to be a UK watch.

Just wait for 12 months down the line for the market to be flooded as buyers get the card from their AD!

Yep, I suspect owners will be lucky to get £5k for them

They require a receipt... since the warranty cards are being retained. That’s new


I have my warranty card from a London AD, not selling though

It’s from Spain, and some UK AD’s are still supplying them with cards

If you look at the ads plenty are being sold with a ‘copy’ of the warranty card, so most likely a photocopy.

did you call them? Genuinely curious on how you know. Spain is apparently a good spot to source watches with the economy not being as strong.

Anyone else perceiving quite a sharp drop in prices for these in a fairly short space of time?
Chrono24 now have some at under £14k which is a sharp drop from the c.£20k they were at last time I checked a few weeks ago. There are also LOADS for sale.
Unless water turns to wine and they become available to normal humans in ADs, I'd probably buy grey at the £10k mark - and I'm starting to think this might happen before Christmas.

I think it's pretty clear the vast majority of these were bought to flip and so it looks like the market will be pretty flooded for a while as Rolex released this fairly quickly, so after the usual initial high prices I think the price seems to have settled at a fairer equilibrium faster than expected. I think 12-14K will be the range, can't see much lower. Could be a sign Rolex understand the undersupply issue and are addressing it, first with the new issues.
