Prices Dropping?

I stumbled across this interesting video:





Just a temporary summer slump, or the beginning of a real downward trend?

This year didn't have any real "must have" new pieces at Basel -- the stuff we're fighting over is mostly years old, now. If we get new subs at Basel next year, you can watch those prices fly through the roof again.

It’s all going to crash, along with the mania of buying 50k $ cars when people can only afford 20$. The cheap money won’t be there forever. You buy now you’re buying the top

May or may not be true but it is a question removed from this imbecile’s credibility.

Yep. And when it does, hope the ADs are left to choke on their greed.

I'm new to Rolex world but have watched his videos a few times - has he ever been right? He admits in some of his older videos he mispredicted Rolex trends

I haven’t clicked the link and I’m not going to, but oddly enough I think the prices have started to plateau at the very least with even a drop here and there. Rolex in the US seem to be as expensive as they’ve ever been, here in the UK I think we’re starting to see a slight decline.
Thin edge of the wedge maybe?

They all want to say it early so when the time comes that it actually happens they could say they called it.

What's the word for "pricing now a half a notch below absurd"?

Any time you have a crazy run up it is going to overshoot the suppy/demand curve and then stabilize. Supply is not increasing and the economy is not tanking so don't look for this to end any time soon.

There are 4 basic ingredients to a Fed video: wristwatch check, giant polo shirt, website plug and clickbait title.

That chubby mouth breather is obnoxious AF. And his agenda is selling watches with his partner. They make a ton of money and building his credibility/getting clicks is the number 1 priority.

Talk to any jeweler, ~75% if their year’s revenues occur leading up to Christmas.

Prices are level then will shoot up in October - December.

He basically says that summer is a typically slow season and things will pick up again. This is just a click bait video and I didn’t even bother posting it myself. No breaking news at all to be honest.

This video has about the same amount of truth as the “my ADs told me...” threads.

There’s still an awful lot of money out there, so I think it will be a while before we see any price decreases on the secondary markets. I’m not holding my breath.
