Well, you let a cat out of the bag without providing any proof but pure gossip, so you should'nt bitch if being challenged. Your post did not help anything except create more speculation. It will not affect one bit my decision to hold, buy or sell Rolex, much less chase expensive watches. |

Hear, hear. I confess I have been on a Downton Abbey binge lately but I really do think people with low post counts should not be allowed to address people with high post counts. It's all so terribly unseemly, what, what.

Unless they raise prices significantly... they make less money? Right. Why would any company do that?

Tudor makes some very nice watches and I happen to own four of them, but those who can't find the Rolex they want aren't necessarily going to buy a Tudor to fill the void. In the minds of many, including many members here, Tudor is a second-fiddle brand and regardless of how good they are, someone looking for name-recognition and prestige is not going to be interested Tudor when there are so many brands to choose from.

I believe that once Rolex hits their sales targets also their margins, they just take some time away. After all, for us in business, you have to start at $0 come January 1. My AD had to pull some strings to get me a green Sub before Christmas. I'm getting my SeaDweller on Tuesday. I was told I'd have both by the end of November.

Makes sense to me. They've always has too many I'm circulation or been too easy to get. I'm sure I'll be singing a different time when it's time to buy my Submariner for the collection though

So prices will go up if a new movement is introduced? The LV msrp is 9 grand already so I wonder by how much it would go up. Frankly it is getting a tad ridiculous at almost 10k for a 3 hander w date and no precious metal. You can get a JLC master compressor chrono for 7k so me thinks I am shifting where i am looking

Having thought this through a bit more, if the currency markets keep on going the way they have been recently it could soon make sense for UK buyers to pick up from the US TRF trusted sellers. Over the last few months or so Sterling has gone from £1 - USD 1.3 to £1 - USD 1.41.
A new DaytonaC from DavidSW is now 'only' £13,460 which is almost £3,000 cheaper than Watchfinder

This strategy won’t last simply because it makes no business sense. Demand is there. Price point can even be RAISED with the economy strong and China coming back online. Their CFO should be fired for squandering potential revenue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
