Jumbo hasn’t really participated in this “rally.” I still see mint examples for 22 asking so only 2-3k higher than before.

AP's 15202 Jumbo and Patek's Nautilus 5711 (and now even the 5712) are almost a DECADE old in its current iteration. They are great watches no doubt, but both could be purchased easily from ADs just last year, without the current waiting list game. If this isn't hype I dont know what else to call it. I know AP made the Jumbo boutique only and Patek also cut back, but what makes them suddenly $10K-$20K more desirable?
I agree with you guys, this is just playing into their game - whether it's the manufacturers, the dealers, or greys. Just speak with your wallet and don't buy in.
