2018 is actually a leap year so people have until February 32, 2018.

Maybe someone will get off the Daytona list by then!

So the PM SkyDwellers are now discontinued after the SS SkyDwellers were introduced?

Sorry I meant the OP in the original thread on the other site.

[hsm]

it may be true although its probably conjecture,

maybe the steel pepsi is coming back, with a massive demand waiting,

let this run for a few years then bring back the steel sub with massive demand waiting,


Who really knows, not me.

That's a very English thing to say. And I agree with it.

Oh sorry, it is my bad for misunderstanding! Yes, that OP certainly was adamant

If the SS sub is discontinued it will be replaced by another SS Sub with a new movement and size.

Yes... and.....in combination with Oysterflex bracelets is what I hear.

Sounds like a spinning yarn to me.

This must be because of the recently announced world shortage of 904l steel.

They have just made the watch with their (arguably) flagship movement in more accessible, to go the other way just seems plain crazy.
Maybes it’s a move to push people in to buying the SD.....not that people need pushing.

Rolex would never do this. It would decrease sales significantly to only offer it in PM.

I called rolex in Switzerland yesterday,

I spoke to a very swiss sounding man in the sales department, I mentioned this rumour and he told me to stop worrying and concentrate on your brexit, that your prime minister has just capitulated over. lol.

I read Apple is discontinuing the iPhone as well

I’ll be quoting my man padi until I’m dead. tell them where they’re talking from


[QUOTE=HogwldFLTR;8095617]It's likely all my fault; in one of my weaker moments I asked if Rolex could get away with dispensing with SS and going only PM. It was just a thought experiment. Many took it very seriously. At any rate that thread is linked below. I very seriously doubt Rolex would consider doing that for a second. This is likely the result of the lack of Christmas watch availability and over active imaginations and perhaps forum to forum cross fertilization. As far as being an idiot is concerned; not hardly. Merry Christmas time all.

Agreed.


If anyone thinks Rolex is going to stop making SS watches in the 5000-15000 range they’re misinformed.

I’ll believe that the day the Germans stop making beer. The Dutch stop riding bicycles. The French stop drinking wine. The Canadians stop watching hockey. The Irish stop drinking whiskey and they no longer have good ham in Spain.

I’m third on the list for a unicorn horn from my AD. Hoping to have in the next three months.

Stop making one of the best selling and iconic watches in your line-up?? Classics business decision designed for success...

Doubt it!!!!

[SpeedyTuomas]

That would be silly as it is one of their most classic and popular models.

[poker]

why would Rolex kill its bread and butter models?

[Ruiz]

No way thats happening.

True but doesn’t mean Rolex can boost prices and keep it in that range. I think if Rolex prices the ss models closer to an AP they can still be making money.

How much is an ap 15400? $16900.
116610ln now is $8550.
Sure the sub isn’t as pretty but compared to the ap a sub at that price is a steal.

I bet Rolex can price a 116610ln at $10000 and get away with it. Sure they’ll lose some sales, but they’ll make more and the prestige of the brand will increase.

In regards to the limited stock, remember it wasn’t too long ago watch sales were down, imports were down. Maybe Rolex adjusted their output for this and now with the economy the way it is, there is a delay in ramping up output.

True, but you have to admit ... That's not a very high bar.

[Etschell]
