That strategy is over, if the flippers are holding inventory they are looking for an exit. They will be the first to suffer economically. Next will be the AD's and then finally Rolex. In my opinion Rolex has done irreparable damage to its very small and loyal customer base with the way it has handled the shortage situation over the past 5 years. This compounded with the overall economy and you have prices dropping through the floor.
Great post!!!

I have been tracking certain prices for some time.

On around 15th January this year, David SW was advertising 'BNIB' 126710BLNR at $15,975.

On 3rd February this year, OC Rolex Guy was advertising one at $15,595.

Right now, you can get one for around $13k. There is BNIB piece advertised on Timezone at $11,500.

The 114060 is similar. 3rd Feb David SW advertised a BNIB model at $10,275. Today, you can get a LNIB from Takuya at $8,875.

This thread has turned into some kind of cynical spiel/bragging contest about taking a victory lap in their new luxury sports car. During a depression no less. I'm out.

No matter how difficult economy may seem, groups of people will survive...that's why Nasdaq yoy is +16% and Large Cap Growth is +10% yoy.....

These "Nasdaq" group will be the buyers of Rolex and Porsche....
