Lol!!

My observation from tracking a few on Chrono out of curiosity is that these seem to be going quickly at around 30k CHF, but sitting from 35k CHF upward. So 42 seems about 10k too far north.

Even above 35k, they do get thousands of views though, so certainly lots of traffic. I would imagine that many are just casual onlookers without any buying intentions however.

42k is tomorrow's price. 65k is next week's price

[Skerro]

There are no turquoise 41 on ANY uk AD websites. They must be getting tired of genuine buyers walking in and back out not buying another breitling. The game is up for the ADs…

You’re just taking the word of random tossers on IG and C24. I have nothing to gain here. Makes no sense. Call David and ask what he is willing to pay and you’ll get a better gauge.

Better wait until tomorrow with the call; going to be twice as much

The turquoise-OP41-owning Mr Rain is doing a superb job of pumping this one to the stars. A few more pages of these posts, and there'll be enough in that OP41 to retire to the Caymans!

The lowest offer I've gotten is $26,000 to sell and $29,000 for a trade-in.

[Randy9999]

The Turquoise OP aside, has anybody noticed the prices for the 116610LV HULK? There's a similar phenomenon brewing there. Through the roof.

Sounds on par with what I was told. Not saying it doesn’t climb to 40 by Xmas who knows but quoting random trolls listing them at several hundred thousand is nonsensical.

the Hulk is an ABSOLUTE gem and it blows my mind why it is not trading for more than it is. To the moon!

Yeah, I agree. I still feel $40k (or even $25k) for this watch is just insane. Planning on trading in my OP41 which I got a couple of months ago.

This means the Daytona is no longer the most coveted Rolex watch. It’s now an OP41 Blue dial watch, wow. It’s cheaper in the UK to buy the white gold meteorite Daytona from a Grey. Also it means movement complexity matters to nobody as if you had this watch you could sell it and get a skydweller with money left over! The blue dial one. You can buy two Pepsi’s and have money left over.

Not sure I’m following you. Don’t you have money left over whether or not you buy the watches? Are you suggesting that you put every last dime into your Rolex watches?

[GreenLantern]

I moved my entire life savings out of crypto and into Rolex watches. Greatest investment of all time.

[Kostas]

Flowers are smelling amazing lately haha

[GreenLantern]

Tulips are the best.

[GreenLantern]

In all seriousness, it's a beauty. Thanks for sharing! And enjoy in the greatest of health.

[Ichiran]

I don't have one but I think the price of this OP will reach the level of the blue Skydweller in time to come. I wish my AD will give my wife the OP36 turquoise soon. I don't think it's a rare watch by any measure though, and it won't be the new 5711 Tiffany 170. This happens to be a shade of colour which is very similar to the real Tiffany's and demand is there right after the 5711 auction.

You really think it will drop that far?

[GreenLantern]

Not while it's being treated as an "investment" instead of stocks, bonds, real estate, businesses, and crypto.

It's a shame the hype is polarizing opinions about the watch in its own right. It's objectively a well designed watch with a playful but inoffensive dial color. It's worth the MSRP, but is being hidden from those who would choose to wear it and given to those who want to hoard and exploit it. The process only happens because someone is willing to pay more and more for hopeful progressively increasing valuation. Once the idea of certain watches continually becoming more valuable even after paying over MSRP became generally accepted, it became a game. And now, people will play it nonstop until it isn't popular anymore. Those of us who love the watches for what they are, for example my platinum Daytona, feel that they have no dollar value at all. They only have the value of the enjoyment on the wrist if you keep them and wear them.

Incredibly well said. Thank you.

That's really cute. This is coming from someone who created a post, looking for validation from trf strangers, only a few months ago, stating "hey guys, I was offered the Platinum daytona at retail by my AD I would be crazy to pass this opportunity up right?"

Lol!!

Just out of curiosity, let's just say hypothetically you have to sell your platinum Daytona tomorrow. Would you sell it for 120,000, or will you sell it for the $75,000 you bought it for? If you would sell it for the market, $120,000, would you feel guilty about it? Your words are heartwarming, but your timepiece has a price, a market price. Let us know when you get a chance

Neither of us are flippers. I do not sell my watches. I do feel warm inside when I get a popular watch, and I love hyped pieces. There's a difference. happy holidays.

Once upon a time, it was like this with Tulips too, and - more importantly - with stocks. Then the civilized world realized that eventually, people get burned in these schemes and financial market regulation was born. This market for watches isn’t regulated of course and I’m not saying it should be. But if you partake, be aware that forces are at play here that a lot of regulation would be trying to protect you from in other industries - whereas here, your fully bearing the risk.

[Skerro]

Turquoise is nice colour - I’d like one because of a just that - its a nice Color. Unfortunately this OP41 will never be accessible to me - I don’t resent but marvel at it as long as it brewing some happiness to whomever owns one that is all that is needed.
What it does do is encourage me to look at other watches and broaden my horizons. I suspect there will be many the same who just like to color but will source something else and bring just as much joy and pleasure.

I am not defending the guy who whines, but question the net worth of the guy who spends $35k. If all he’s got to his name is $35k and spends it on a watch then it is not smart.

What about the guy who is smart enough to earn a good fortune and wants to pay grey price for a watch because he doesn’t want to play the AD game?

That or many smart people would rather be smart than rich. Seems a popular option.

We all suffer from Dunning-Kruger effect in one way or another.

I agree with the part about fools making a lot of money. I mostly see it in professional athletes, entertainers and lottery winners.

My god so literal I meant hypothetically if you had £40k. Of course I would never waste All my lifesavings on a watch

[AK797]

I like the colour and would have been interested in one at 40mm, never before have I thought I wish I had slimmer wrists... if I had one I could sell it to pay for the surgery.
