Visiting family in boca. Stopped in an AD Mayors Jewelers in boca mall. Offering 12 months interest free loan with Wells Fargo for rolex. CPO hulk 2019 30K, 2019 batman CPO 21.5K, CPO 2021 gmt black dial 16.5k . Tides are turning for retail.

Those are obscene prices. So high they should be illegal.

Gandor · 23 October 2023, 06:57 AM

You can get a 2023 batman for like 16k nowadays.

rick lee · 23 October 2023, 07:07 AM

I saw a Batman for $21.5k yesterday at an AD's used section. Don't recall which year, but that price was obscene if brand new. Another reseller nearby told me their last Pepsi went for $21.5k.

LJubel328 · 23 October 2023, 07:07 AM

Loans for watches and just about everything these days. I can only imagine how terrible the rates are once the interest kicks in.

I really hope people are smart enough to not engage is this sort of behavior.

There's other jewelers in Boca with great Rolex inventory although they're not ADs

Those CPO prices are insane

lol, anyone remember when CPO was first announced some members here would argue the ADs would have to list the CPO watches for LESS than MSRP?!?

I stop by that location from time to time and find the used watch prices quite high and the sales staff overly aggressive.

inadeje · 23 October 2023, 08:21 AM

Absurd pricing indeed. Some idiot will pay though.

ingoodtime · 23 October 2023, 10:13 AM

Horrible prices.

russ86 · 23 October 2023, 10:47 AM

One of my friends just got a brand new batman for 15.5

The CPO sellers are really overvaluing the "certified" bit that's for sure.

Bizarro world - used watches going for more than new. I know it’s been like that for a few years, but I am still shocked. Feel bad for the nervous dudes who pay those CPO prices.

And you still stop by?

travisb · 23 October 2023, 09:37 PM

The prices are ridiculous.

1William · 23 October 2023, 09:42 PM

The CPO is not for informed consumers. It is for someone that wants a watch and the security the program offers through a brick and mortar store.

cbalster · 23 October 2023, 10:26 PM

I'm still paying off my chipotle burrito that I financed with Affirm. Once I do that and get my credit back up, I will look into financing my next watch.

Calatrava r · 23 October 2023, 10:48 PM

Most ADs offer free interest for a year on purchases and did on Rolex buys also through a bank. I have read in threads here that some ADs are no longer offering such incentives on new Rolexes at MSRP.

mfnj · 23 October 2023, 10:51 PM

another vote for 'insane" CPO pricing at the AD. CPO watches are a good idea in theory but the AD's view it as a mechanism to drive profit. Unfortunately for them, the "educated" buyer will pass on them but as others have said there are enough other buyers to make it worth their while. Although, with a crazy economic environment it is possible the CPO model for the AD's might have missed the market. Imagine if it was introduced 12 months to 18 months ago!

Willyjo · 24 October 2023, 12:32 AM

These prices are optimistic and unrealistic.

Much cheaper in Singapore. Come here, have a holiday and still have $ in your wallet.

Check out carousel.com for pricing here.

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that they are artificially pricing these watches to elevate the new ones they sell even more. Meaning, they get you thinking what you are buying is instantly worth 3X (see what we are selling a used one for?) and then they get you to bundle with jewelry and other things. Just drives up the exclusivity of what they are selling you.

CPO is nuts! I got my Sub after 3 years thru the pandemic bull$hit, on list for GMT, if it ever comes in i'll be happy at MSRP... I'm not playing the Rolex GREY/CPO games. My Sub is a perfectly great 1 watch collection ;)
