Aside from everything else going on at the moment, I think people were turned off by the long waits and many have moved on to other brands or something else.

You don't need anyone's opinion. Just look at the stats for your favorite model and draw your own conclusions.

Not so long ago, selling a 10k Rolex for 50% premium was easy.
You just had to contact a reseller and you would have a 3 or 4k$ bonus with nothing else to do.

Now, the premium over a Sub is 20%, a bit more for a GMT. But resellers won't cash-in as easy as before. So you'll have to sell to individuals, which is a far more complex and risky thing.

Plus all other reasons...

It's still a good "investment", but in the long term only.

It's all for the best in the end
