I’m not retired, more like on hiatus from buying new Rolex SS sports references. Last new 6-digit SS Rolex purchase was in 2016, before the lunacy started. Since then I’ve bought two 5-digit refs (16710 and 16600) and a new Pelagos all at relatively reasonable prices. Not a participant in waiting/playing games with AD's, or paying big premiums over retail with a gray dealer.

I've pretty much moved on also. Unless it falls into my lap not really interested. Too many other options and great watches out there.

Ad games are annoying but nice to have value retention.

I have said this 3 different times before. I tried holding off from Rolex in the current climate but didn’t see a end any time soon. I believe I am done now for a long time simply because I just purchased the last two new Rolex models I even wanted. I also purchased two new models from other manufactures. I wouldn’t want/need a new Sub as I did a end run around it for the new DSSD JC. I waited for the new BLNR after the initial release of the BLRO. It will be at least a decade until Rolex modifies the new “32” series movement and that would be my only motivation.

I'm going to buy a watch from Walmart next. Know why? The display cases are full of stainless sport models!

You are correct about the games. But that's really not the subject as I'm into collecting pieces that are relevant. |

Nothing in the current lineup interest me so yes. My next purchase won’t be Rolex as I’m eyeing a VC.

Before even buying one, I’ve been pushed into retiring.. Got frustrated and bought a Tudor BB 41... Not planning on giving up though..
