Confirming Price of ROC Rose Gold Bracelet

[chiscott_29]

Hi,

I wanted to see if anybody has confirmation that the price of the ROC rose gold bracelet went up to ~$28k from an AD/Boutique. If I recall from late last year, there was a conversation about this, and that the price had risen from around $18k.

I have the 26331OR on the croc strap, and have been contemplating getting the full rose gold bracelet. I've found one available that's much closer to the old price than the new price, but before I consider pulling the trigger I'd like to know for sure what the current retail price is.

As always, thanks for anybody's help!

Oh...I'm facing the same battle. I'm debating going full rose gold on my ROC, which completely changes the look of the watch. And, I'm contemplating going after a 5167R.

I know those are different price levels, and can't do both. Not sure what I want to do, to be honest.

I think the only way to know for sure in the US is to call Clearwater, and I’m guessing they’re closed. For me, having owned a 25860 in the past, I knew I’d have a ROC “forever.” So when I traded for a rose gold 26022, I soon bought a bracelet from Clearwater. If memory serves me, it was something like $12-14k early last year. Now if it would have been double that price, it would have been very hard to pull the trigger. But now I love having the options of a full metal bracelet, rubber or leather strap.

I would go for the 5167R... should not be super hard to get in the near future... where are current grey prices right now ? I feel like this was just discussed in the PP thread...

From my experience and research, asks are generally $44k to $48k on C24 but I won’t be close to that. I’ve seen a couple around the $42k mark from WatchRecon searches.

I offered $40k to a couple of dealers on C24 and nobody bites. I generally have little patience but on this one I absolutely do! Prices are going in only one direction...

interesting... thanks for sharing pricing... agreed pricing will go only in one direction... now I am curious to see how much a steel bracelet would be for my ROO I think I was quoted $7k in December by the boutique in Vegas when I picked it up but not 100% sure anymore... maybe prices have gone up?

I have never priced a SS bracelet. I had heard RG increased significantly, thus my original question.

Generally speaking, anything AP has had a nice increase lately :-)

Ah...I did find the post I thought I remembered seeing. Looks like there was definitely talk that the RG bracelet was going to $27,000 USD. I don’t see any confirmation that it happened, but this seems like very solid information that it did. Bottom of the thread:

Yeah 27k is a lot... I would either find one preowned or get a new watch

I’d add some rubber straps for the ROC and then add the 5167R.

I wouldn't buy anything now. 6 months from now watches will be cheaper.
