I'm watching the China situation very closely, if China goes down, flippers/speculators are in big big trouble!
rolex played a big part in it though. everything you said was part of the reason why prices went crazy but let's not act like rolex didn't sit there enabling it with bundling, fake waitlists and closing down a lot of ADs

they took advantage of the environment to go up market and now the inevitable correction is happening. time will tell if they'll cut production to keep their image and hype and force the floor to be msrp going forward or if things will go back to pre 2016. i can't believe people are still questioning the brand's marketing at this point. you really think they aren't geniuses? lol
