5726 pricing!

[mrN]

Not a fan of the white dial... especially for that price.

Agree with this.

And I’ve got the least desirable of them all, 5726 on a strap. But it’s my favorite.

That's a lovely watch, I prefer that to the bracelet

To me, both 5726 on strap or on bracelet are winners. Proportions is spot on!

I happen to agree with you.

Just recently saw one on steel. I absolutely love them both.

The strap version is now estimated at up to 50K before premium (20-25 percent premium), http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/...html?locale=en
last auction was estimated at 35 max, and those guys are not keyboard speculators, they know the market. We'll see what happen. Anyway, i don't think it's unlikely to ask and get close to 100K for the bracelet version in today's market.

38-50K is quite a big range. And 100K for the bracelet version?

I actually prefer the 5726 on strap over bracelet.

Glad I pulled the trigger on this guy when I did...

It's actually a small range for auction, it should've been 30-50 (the range a 5712/1a "grail" got on the same auction. i am reminding again, this is the strap version of 5726 we are talking about!), we'll see what happen.

vandyologist- Amazing watch! and now you are awarded for going against the "5712 is best, blue and sporty" hype ! well done.

Really love that grey gradient dial

[jschmidtdmd]

Crazy how this watch was sitting around with no interest for so long and now it is hot as can be. I've always liked it! Congrats to those who have it in their collection!

[wisguy]

I passed on a new one 3 years ago at Wynn & Co for $37k, did not have the money then... oh well.

[GeraldGentaFan]

Those who paid big premiums for the 5726 1a might be disappointed, my AD just confirmed the blue dial. Beautiful!

That's like saying the buyers of 997 GT3RS 4.0 are disappointed that a new one had came out (the 997 now cost 3.5 it's retail price, the "new" one is under retail) although any new regular Carrera is better.
People don't care what the thing can do but how rare it is and the fact they can't get it.
The only effect would be north, to my humble opinion.

5726/1A was introduced in 2012 and ADs were getting less 5726/1As than 5712As. I think 5726/1A will be collectible than 5712A due to the low production numbers.

Which might just be even nicer!!!
All will be revealed soon enough

If you are mad enough to pay those prices now, you may just go mad 😡 next week

Spot on.

[WatchLurv]

If we compare the 5205 where they discontinued the white and the grey (I believe) and came out with the blue, I don’t see it moving to a higher premium for the 2 discontinued 5726 - the blue one will always command a higher price.

I still remember seeing a 4.0 in my local dealers show room about 7 years ago. Could have bought it for like 175 lol

Crazy! you can hardly get a well optioned regular Carrera S for that money today.
But don't feel bad, we all saw a product called "AMZN" retail for 100 USD 7 years ago, sitting on the shelf of millions "AD", brand new and you could just pick it up in a sec, now retail for 17 (seventeen) times that

Not really what I said. I referred to those paying big premiums, not buying at retail. And not so likely the 5726 will be the next 997 Gt3rs 4.0. more likely to be a 991 gt2rs or a 488 pista. Good buys at retail, but those who paid big premiums will probably sit on a loss.

You mean 991.1/2 GT3RS ? GT2RS and Pista still strong, as far as i know.
Of course, there is a line for how much premium, if you go head and pay a million dollar for 991R (some say some did), don't come crying back for lose.
Any way, if there is ONE thing we can learn from that, Rarity sale, Speculation fail. Simple example, the 991 turbo S Exclusive series (limited and numbered), hardly ever mentioned by youtube fan boys or forum worrier, while selling for half a million dollars all day long.

And- the 5726/1A-001/010 are RARE. few production years, fewer produce in general.
We will get an idea in few days when 5726A (strap) goes under the hammer. if it really sale for what is estimated (65K), no reason the 1A won't be at 100K easy.

So the strap version which always sell for about half the price of the bracelet and was not discontinued, just sold for 56K http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/...01/lot.60.html
Which is 50 percent more than it's last auction and only about 18 percent behind the "grail of all SS nautilus" in the same auction http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/...01/lot.56.html

You can stop rolling on the floor from laughter because next time a bracelet 5726 come to an auction it wouldn't be away from the 100K

But look at this, some one made an incredable deal snapping a vintage full size nautilus for this "redicoulos" price (in today's numbers), just becouse "TT is not "in"". Well done! this 3700 is AMAZING!! http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/...01/lot.21.html

[V25V]

Dude, quit referencing f'n Sotheby's auctions. That price is higher than most asking prices on Chrono24, which are already high. When I see a known great asking over those prices (since they are going to get a bit lower than ask), I'll believe it.

At the end of the day, I could care less. I just find it hilarious that a model nobody wanted not all that long ago is even demanding a premium at all now. And the strap version isn't even discontinued......

Not too long ago Rolex AD cases were filled with SS sports models. And they could all be had at a discount.

True. But even when the hype started around the 5711/5712, 5726 could still be had, especially on strap. To demand an even higher premium than before when it wasn't even discontinued doesn't make much sense to me. Now the bracelet version does somewhat since it has, except for the new blue 014.

Not a heck of a lot about the current climate in the watch world makes any sense at all.
