Seems like buyers aren’t willing to pay 17k+ for the 126710 BLRO. What’s your hold

For those of you in the market like me but just can’t seem to pull the trigger.

What’s your hold out price?

Still well above retail....I can stomach 13k

Great question OP - highlights that MSRP is a reference that only has a coincidentlay relationship with the market price and asks people to think about what the watch is worth to them.

Maybe another way to think about the question is - if the MSRP was 16k (or 14, or 12) would you still be a buyer?

I wasn’t in the market for one - until I saw it and saw the wrist pics here. I’d pay US12k for one now...but it’s been a bit of a torrid year of watch shopping for me, so I’m on a break at the moment

When I reopen my acquisition budget for next year, I’d pay 14k for one.

MSRP for this and any other model to be honest. I like watches but I’m not stupid.

Like I said

Started at 22k, 20k, 18k, 17k, and now even hard to sell in the $16k range. Asia can see these around $16k (low 16s)

It will hit $15k very soon and continue to fall. SS Rolex is on a massive bubble. These watches are purely not worth the asking price. Especially for MODERN pieces that are mass produced and I think many people are realizing this.

Imagine you paid $20k for one and want to resell now? You'd lose more money on this reference than flipping a precious metal piece.

We are not talking 1950s vintage here.

So much anger here.. the market is what the market is. Simple as that. I've been blown away by the non-ceramic used Daytona's on the market. It's insane but it is what it is...

Daytona's always been like that years before any SS crazy prices on ALL references started.

Seriously why are GMTs and Subs in SS selling for premium above MSRP? They've been out for years, millions available worldwide and they are simple plain watches with zero complications to them.

I love Rolex and I own many (Precious metal and SS versions and Twin Tone) - but there is a point where it is just stupid.

Supply and demand. The Daytona is inflated for the same reason and not the complication. For example, a YM2 has a higher complication and it’s resale value is low by Rolex standards and are sitting in AD cases now. I remember when dealers couldn’t give SS Daytona’s away in the 1990’s. Then they became in vogue around the time they started producing a chronograph in-house movement.

Anger? It may be out there but I don't see it here. Maybe I'm out of touch because the ceramic Daytona doesn't do anything for me and I am not a fan of any of the colorful bezels currently offered but I think its very reasonable to hold out for MSRP. Not because it is the true market value but because it is currently the lowest available price and possible given time, luck or relationships. The current difference between AD and grey pricing is equal to a Speedmaster Professional and a few hundred pounds of beef jerky. Who wouldn't wand a free Moonwatch and jerky?

If your willing to pay the premiums good for you. Go do so and enjoy your watch.

The grays are laughing all the way to the bank. They have cleaned up bigtime within the last 12 months due to the speculation.

Just like Bitcoin, housing bubbles, share bubbles many suckers in these areas as well. I'm heavily into housing and real estate and because of the fomo mentality and speculation I know guys that cant settle on houses because they bought peak and now are a few hundred grand short.

Dont be a sucker. The market always corrects.

Correct. Ppl are still having trouble getting blue / black.
If ppl are willing to wait long enough then they will be available, like the LN. Give it 6 years or so.
