After Baselwolrd seems Deepseas are going up

[nutrientcobra]

I just noticed after the release of the new Deepsea at Basal, it seems prices on the previous models are up considerable. Why is this? Is that kind of how it is when they do a change on any model, that die hard fans want the prior one for possible collectability?

Thanks

Oh come on, I was right on with what I said when he had that comment. So if I have 100 comments its ok to defend myself against some jerk. What was wrong with the question that offended him!~

this is a forum for discussions and with that not everyone will agree with everyones opinion..... you didnt put up any supporting evidence to state you claims hence his comment..... in saying that he didnt actually cal you a name or anything as such..... your defense is to come back with a personal attack?
Has nothing to do with the amount of posts (more doesnt give you a right of passage to be abusive)
My point of mentioning your 4 posts is the fact you dont converse much here so perhaps you are unaware of whats acceptable

I’d actually suggest you direct your angst to watcheroo since we don’t really need posts like that to a newcomer and actually keep his comments to himself. That way this forum will grow instead of just be consumed by the same old people.

Onto the OP. I think it is just gray market guys taking advantage of supply and demand and see if they can get a few more bucks with the renewed excitement on the DSSD. We shall see.

Fair enough. Maybe I should have given @nutrientcobra the benefit of the doubt. It sounded like a classic price pumping thread. If it wasn’t, I happily apologize to the OP

Cheers

its a forum where people discuss things and dont always agree.... i have no issue with that.... everyone is entitled to an opinion and weather i agree with a comment or not is irrelevant........... my point was simply that there was no need for dropping the level of respect to name calling.

What i like about this forum is the respect everyone shows each other no matter the taste or opinion.... thats all im going to say.............

for the record i like the new deep blue more then the old one... now id consider getting another but in the new revamped design, i have no interest in getting the older one again as the upgrades that they have done fixed the reasons i got rid of my old one....

I put a rubber B on tang buckle on mine to make it more proportionate on the wrist and at the end of the day i didnt spend all that money on it not to have it on a bracelet hence i got rid of it....

I think the prices will fall now that the deep blue is a standard production model.... they were commanding a premium over the standard black because of the dial and the fact the rumour mill ran wild with "it'll be discontinued"..... now that the fact its staying i think will hurt the premium that the blue dial has as its not going away any time soon
thats my 2 cents for what its worth(not usually much lol)

I’m confused. Am I an a-hole or Mr. Personality?

prices went up in anticipation of a disontinuation, not in the last 30 minutes... its been trending that way for a while.

Now that we know its not discontinued and the replacement is an improved version of the original i suspect prices will drop.

Got ya! Seems to be the general thought from all of you. Makes good sense!

Thanks for the information!

I wish they do but i see you repeating this claim of prices dropping for the old JC. Get ready to be proved wrong. A year from now we shall talk again.
There may (i say may) be a temporary drop but the original JC in particular in a year from now will not be lower.
Average prices for the JC today are 11-12 k EUR and i see them at 12-13k USD in the US. Talk to you in a year. Subscribed.

Man, this sounds like the stockmarket, or worse in-running betting.

Careful if you want to stay here. There are other ways to address things around here. As for your post yes I also see prices have been increased by sellers on Chrono24 as well. My guess is prices stay strong for them and supply stays tight but who knows. Historically speaking SS sports models do not go down when a new movement or change is introduced if history is any indicator which I believe it is.

Thanks for the response. I should realize I wasn't on the BBQ forum when I snapped back at him.

I am glad that they haven't dropped historically as you said when movements are changed, etc. Good information!

Thank You

[bayerische]

It's called opportunism.

I can't see the old one gaining in price, the new one now has the design the first one should have had.

Oh, and the post limit to start calling other users bad names comes at 18.409 posts.... I'm so close now.

Thank you so much for the honest answer. Thats all I was looking for! I didn't come on here to start trouble. And I got you on the post limit.

Thanks

Agreed with you - actually the prices for the 1 gen Deepsea will drop as everyone is looking for the upgraded version which definitely corrected the issues from 1st gen

I did not realize there were issues with the original one. I will have to really scrutinize it this weekend when I fetch from bank to wear. Here I thought it was an awesome watch all these years and alas I could be wrong. Oh well I hope I continue to look at it the same going forward.

I think this is a really good perspective to have and I thank you for reminding me of this.

It’s easy to get caught up in the latest / greatest cycle, but where does that end? Sometimes it’s good to look at what you alraedy have and enjoy it for what it is.

Applies to many things, not just watches.

I actually like the long lugs on the older model myself. I think it balances out and draws out the big case a bit more. But thats just me. I know the movement is improved etc. But the old one to me looks more bold in that sense. To each their own.

I never thought the bracelet needed to be bigger, but when I see the new one in real time I will decide. I am staying positive. Thanks

When was the last time Rolex prices dropped especially ones that will be discontinued

It has not been discontinued btw - it has been upgraded (new movement and fixed the issues with small bracelet)

I love Rolex for what they are and not looking to make extra bucks out of my watches!!!

It seems many folks are mad here cause they D-Blue has not been discontinued as many wanted to make some extra bucks.

I didn't know that!

I hope the old one will be collectable in the future, maybe called Deepseas beckham like daytona paulnewman.
