BLRO Price Jump to 20K at DavidSW

Price for the fully stickered 126710 BLRO. Price had jumped from 18,575 to 18,975, and now over the weekend to 19,975.

Something is going on, I have seen prices jump at the other sites also. This is common for all SS profesionals. The market is going up. For some reason ADs are complaining that the watches are not being sent out like before.

Lol. He’s honest. I asked about a daytona and he showed me a ss from the back but it’s already set aside for a higher value client. The manager has been trying to get a hulk for himself and is still waiting.

Lol. Not the first ad manager who told me that about the hulk. A girl I worked with back during my cell phone days in college was a manager at Tourneau. She couldn’t get a hulk for herself so she settled for a subc date. She did get a pretty hefty discount on it.

That was to save you the embarrassment of asking for a SS Sports piece............ For some reason I am very cynical this evening or glass half empty

Easy to disagree. I don't think many people here would sell something they own for less than what the market would pay for it.

It is not them. It is the whole market. Look at Chrono24 for the same fully stickered watch. David´s prices are actually reasonable. They don´t dictate a whole world market. The Chinese are going nuts over Rolex SS.

Even crazier, Davidsw has a blue dial Sky Dweller at $22,575. Sure it’s a year old but getting close to the Pepsi that has a lower MRSP in the first place.

Makes my grey purchase of the Pepsi earlier this year seem like a bargain.

Another reason not to buy

I have been a Rolex fan for over 30 years. The above retail pricing, no stock at ADs, etc. has me looking at other brands. $20k for a SS Rolex sports model is absurd. The current market pricing has exceeded what I consider reasonable for a watch. Time to move on to other brands.
