I'm also waiting for my AD to call me on this one, don't intend on paying a cent over MSRP.

Also, I'd like my name on the card and the invoice, wouldn't mind a glass of champagne either.

It'll be a special day and I'll dress up for the occasion.

The price of the BLRO in my original post is at 17.3K and I have seen others at 17k.

Glad to see the prices settling down after just a few months.

I hope the new 2019 Rolex watch releases will transition the attention of the scalpers to something new.

May I ask how many watches you bought from this AD over the last five years ?

Looks like 17k and going down as more arrive at ADs. It seems this is the biggest mark up on the grey market I've seen on any Rolex Sports models. All I can say is Not my Money.

Seems like the air is coming out of the balloon from my very limited perspective. I've purchased a BLNR and SD43 from an AD in the last 2 months without any prior relationship. It wasn't much of problem.

Yep I saw online a dealer from HK selling for $16k flat last week. Sold now so price is definitely deflating. I bet we will see $15k very very soon.

Same as all the SS models (except maybe Daytona there is a crazy cult following for that watch) - LV, BLNR, Blue SkyD all of them will drop.

Makes zero sense at these inflated prices for mass produced watches. Cant compare a Patek SS to a Rolex SS. Not even in the same league.

I agree. Though I would never pay the premium. A fool and his money

Happens in every HypeBeast category - once the HypeBeasts get the item they desire, said item will drop. I still think you're going to pay $2k or so over retail but NOT the crazy premiums that are currently happening.

At $17.5K it is still a very expensive blue/red ceramic insert and jubilee bracelet...

I think I'll wait this one out, too.
Slowly, the Pepsi is singing to me less now.

BLRO grey prices are coming down, at the start they were selling for 21k, now its down to 17k, I think it'll settle probably at 14k...it can't be selling at those crazy prices much longer...the hulk is far more popular...
