Newbie Question

With Basel looming..what is the typical reaction with watches that get updated. Say a new sub is introduced..is there an increase of supply of the “old” subs at ADs? Or does the older version simply disappear?

Sorry if this has been covered, but as a newbie, I was just wondering.

Not sure there are old subs bro. But if there were, it would get sold as old stock.

There are no old subs sitting around at ADs and there will probably not be at any time in the near future. Once a new sub is introduced you will have to buy a new sub if you want a new sub. If you want an old sub you will probably have to buy, used since new old stock old subs are likely to be very rare.

Your profile says you joined in 2011 - how is it that you’re a newbie?

With all the hijacking of accounts going on, it’s a fair question...

Once a model has been discontinued the price jumps through the roof. The Flippers on this board go into a buying Frenzy and try to get as many as they can.

Great question - I’m assuming I signed up when I first got the watch itch and it took me this long to finally jump into the Rolex pool.

The old ones that are left will trickle their way through the system and eventually be sold off. They'll never completely disappear, though...they will be "rare" and "discontinued" to be had a great premium.

Nice SD, by the way.
