You can get a wg Daytona on of for less. Much less.

Nuts especially when the demand for this one has apparently been quite lukewarm. A few ADs I've spoken to told me they didn't have much demand, my regular AD even told me a few days after the announcement they had no expressions of interest.

I'm sure that a couple will see the price and then are suddenly "interested", and thus how a vicious cycle begins.

This watch does absolutely nothing for me. It is monotone and boring. I do like the Glidelock upgrade, that is the only minor point that would make the 116519LN the perfect one Rolex for me.

The people that price will pay it. Simple as that. Forever the case will be.

Why only 10K over...

It will still sell at 25K over. The market is completely irrational when comes to new Rolex models. You can put any price on it and it will sell.

Is that to lower the price point? The look is the same but maybe you could argue with durability.

In general, I guess I am not understanding the immediate pushback on OF (not worth the $) and PM (not SS) from some of the same posters have paid twice retail for a BLRO. I honestly am not criticizing, I am trying to understand.

I think it looks great. I'm sure someone out there will pay the premium.

Rubber is actually my favorite strap material. Most comfortable, very durable and relatively cheap to replace. I also think they look better than bracelets on any of the the above mentioned designs. I'm glad rolex has gotten into factory rubber straps.
If only they would sell them more liberally. I managed to get hold of some and fit to my 116500ln and it looked amazing. To get to that stage was a PIA as RSC refused to sell directly because my model wasn't sold with them in the first place.

This is especially ridiculous considering he has a RG YM on OF brand new for $22k.

This piece is ridiculously over priced even at retail. For that money you can have a Patek or AP. On the other hand why not just go Day Date. SMDH

Flipper or beloved AD supplier ?

$10k above for the "have to have the newest NOW" brigade .There will be someone that buys it .....

Maybe ADs should appoint official flipper middlemen .Well,maybe they already have ...through package deals and spend a lot deals .

Getting so boring ,the same old rhetoric over and over

I am beginning to like and wear my DJs more and more ..you want one ,you get one,even at a slight discount .Fun to buy ,fun to wear.How it should be .
