Falling demand, increase supply will pretty much cause the reseller’s price to drop.

Middle in e.g. the USA may think they are middle ,but on a world wide scale they are actually rich . The rich getting richer makes Rolex pricing less sensitive to economic and financial effects. There may be a slight correction in market value on Rolex,but it wont be much. Also,in downturns people run to alternatives to protect their money .China also likes to invest in physical goods .Culture .There are 3.4 mil $ millionaires .That's a lot of Rolex buying power just there . |

The parable about the monkeys is very good but not relevant in this situation.
We have an unusual set of circumstances affecting the purchase of Rolex watches at the present time. The new found wealth in countries such as India and China both of which have populations exceeding 1 billion cannot be ignored or overstated. Whilst at the same time there are still thousands of customers in the traditional markets of Europe and the US that are chasing after the same watches that their forefathers aspired to own. Whilst there are many alternative ways to demonstrate your personal wealth and success, none are quite so obvious than displaying on yourself. Not everyone sees the car you drive, the house where you live, the yacht you sail or the class that you travel. However, we can all see the clothes you wear and the accessories you adorn yourself with, be it watches, diamonds, rings and chains. Everyone has some degree of vanity, whether it's in who they choose as friends, where they shop and eat, how they choose to style themselves. Even primitive man used to dress up or paint themselves. It's in our dna. You do realise there are waiting lists for lots of products and services these days. Even in your local supermarket you have to queue. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk |
