I don't think it has anything to do with that.
Simply, the pandemic caused a roughly 25% reduction in production for 2020 (at least, AP is at minus 25%, and I have to presume so are Patek and Rolex). This reduced production reduces an already constrained supply. Hence the madness we see right now. If there's extremely long term unemployment and negative economic forces, obviously demand will drop. But it's too short of a period right now to have that significant of an effect to outweigh the further reduction in supply. |

Ever heard of white balance? Don’t know whether the watch is genuine, but I know the colors say more about how the camera that captured that shot works than about the watch...

Agree with you on the GDP ramifications but this crisis has really only widened the wealth gap which benefits the top end of the market ie >$20k. Also agree on Rolex suffering first; that said the real wild card here is Asia which seems to be sucking up everything luxury Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'm not an expert on this watch, in fact I'm not an expert on anything and all I know is the watch is square with blue or white stripes on the dial and has a date that desperately needs a diet to fit that window properly, but I'm sure other members will be able to give their opinion and we can put that doubt to rest. Would you be kind enough to post another picture OP? |

What is happening too is the USD is dropping and Asia is mopping up. Nautilus prices are climbing.

but i am fully aware some members try to post pictures of high end fakes and pass them as authentic. that baffles me people who try to sell them disgust me. people wearing and enjoying fakes does not bother me in the least. i don't know who nick is, but was he banned for posting up fakes, or accusing someone else of it ? |

nice collection op.
and not for my sake, but if you wanted to post a pic for other members to have a look see, i'd say it needs to be much more of a macro shot, and include some movement pics. cheers |

Here’s one that was the equivalent of $55K-ish at the time of writing* that’s gone unsold on the biggest Swedish watch forum for some time. * As in before the covid situation sent the USD down the sh*tter. https://klocksnack.se/threads/patek-...e-5711.132440/ |

my name is Chris btw. nice to meet you and yeah agreed about this thread. i also don't want to pretend i know what i'm talking about, but i won't assume either the op or the comments are correct. i think op has the chance to post pictures to defend himself, and probably should at this point |

This was actually supposed to go back to the bank with the 5711 but apparently it’s staying at home, it also got resized already

IMHO this is one of them..... Just do a quick Thread / Thread Starter search on the OP..... Member since 10-9-19 You could tell the OP is an amateur into the watch hobby by the history of the thread he start..... Nothing wrong with it...... You have to start somewhere...... Some of my quick proof of evidence.... Notice pictures inconsistent.... Good pictures of OP watch that he own....... Just check out OP Thread Starter... OP seem to have a lot of detail pictures of the real watch that he own..... Except for the 5711 and maybe Daytona 500..... Which IMHO is fake..... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VS bad pictures of 5711.... Notice pictures of the 5711 always far away from the wrist shot and minutes hand always cover the date window.... VS bad pictures of 5711.... Notice pictures of the 5711 always far away from the wrist shot and minutes hand always cover the date window.... The more OP post about his 5711 the more he letting the cat out of the bag..... https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=753315 Fishy thread about him drop the 5711 3-4 feet face down on tile floor...^^^..... I find it hard to believe no damage or dents or scratch whatsoever..... Even drop a Rolex 3-4 feet face down on tile floor will do some kind of damage..... Quote:

OP try to showoff that he smart and never buy over retail...... Again OP being a member of TRF since 10-9-19 and you could tell the OP is an amateur into the watch hobby by questions he posts about Rolex watch in general....... I doubt he even know about the 5711 back in 2013..... Since he own the 5711 for 7 years..... He recently post 3 bad pictures of the 5711...... He telling us he don't have any good pictures of the 5711 in his back up files photos..... Then he telling us he couldn't take new pictures of the 5711 because is in the bank safe but promise he go to the bank safe to take some pictures of the 5711 that he own....... Come on give me a break...... I don't buy it....... Most likely he going to the gray dealer to take some good wrist shots photos of the 5711....... Seriously their no point of asking him to post new pictures of the 5711...... This could have been a great topic discussion until he post a awful fake 5711......

the guy gets called out on his 5711, post a garbage resolution picture and expect us to believe his watch is genuine? and it looks like he just got banned by the mods, I wonder why...

I just meant that the image was not enough to judge whether it’s fake
