Admittedly, I stepped away from Rolexes for the Covid and post Covid frenzy, and I am getting readjusted

When I first saw this Dial, I thought it was weird but now I really like it although I can imagine this will be very out of fashion fad type Dial 10 years from now.

It’s very funny to see the list price on this model at 6100 but is routinely selling for 15 K

Has this been common over the past couple of years?

What watch with which dial? Photo(s)?

brandrea · 5 January 2024, 12:57 AM

I wouldn’t, but many would.

I saw one IRL on my vacation and it left me cold. YMMV

Roger Lococco · 5 January 2024, 12:58 AM

I love the OP Celebration. I'm hoping to get the 36mm for my wife and the 41mm for me.

At this stage in my watch collecting, I only purchase from ADs. So only retain pricing for me.

Good lord, no.

Robf52 · 5 January 2024, 01:08 AM

Hard no.

RRGHOST1 · 5 January 2024, 01:10 AM

I wouldnt pay a penny over mrsp for any watch.

travisb · 5 January 2024, 01:21 AM

It's a cool dial but not even sure I would buy one at retail.

Colin10101 · 5 January 2024, 01:24 AM

I wouldn’t underpay for that watch, unless it was basically given to me.

Porschen · 5 January 2024, 01:35 AM

I’m all over it at retail, but not above.

Rollei35 · 5 January 2024, 01:37 AM

I wouldn't even pay MSRP for this kind of thing.

soldes · 5 January 2024, 01:38 AM

Every person in this forum will have an opinion that is their own.
You likely have worked hard for what you have, and as such, are entitled to spend your money as you wish.
Only you can determine if this purchase make sense to you. If this piece has been living rent free in your head since the moment you first saw it, then whether you buy it at the price point they are asking, is only up to you, and only you.

ArtNouveau · 5 January 2024, 01:44 AM

Secondary pricing on many Rolex models has been higher than MSRP for a few years now. Many threads here suggest that margin will narrow but still in flux for now.
The Celebration dial OP has been very polarizing, people either love it or loathe it. I’m in the camp that really likes it and wants one in the 41mm size. The problem right now is they didn’t start arriving at ADs until a few months ago and were in short supply through the end of 2023. I believe supply will get better this year but they will still be fairly hard to get from an AD until demand is met.
I personally won’t buy a Rolex over MSRP, if my AD can’t supply one I just won’t get it.

majidessa · 5 January 2024, 01:49 AM

The OP celebration dial might have a short life span same as OP other colors, if Rolex makes this dial regular I bet that secondary prices will drop significantly.

There is nothing to indicate that the Celebration dial is limited but no one saw the yellow and coral red dials being discontinued after only 18 months either.

Gerardus · 5 January 2024, 02:12 AM

No, then I would rather donate the money to charity then over-pay >10K for a flippo.

cht · 5 January 2024, 02:19 AM

If I had to pay a $10k markup for anything, I wouldn't be celebrating much.
To each their own. Only you can answer that question if it is worth it to you, not us.

Mathematoxic · 5 January 2024, 02:19 AM

No chance. Crazy in my opinion

minute_man · 5 January 2024, 02:21 AM

I would not.

harvey · 5 January 2024, 02:25 AM

…for an entry level reference? Nah.

Nice that they sell to you

I personally think the watch is unique & have it on my "lists" at several local AD's. I'm of the mindset which prohibits me from purchasing over MSRP, it's difficult to ascertain how these secondary suppliers mark the watch up 3X.
I'd be amenable to a small premium over retail to secure the watch without a wait, however this is absurd.

Speaking for myself would not pay extra for any modern day Rolex, regarding the celebration dial Rolex you would have to pay me to buy one.They look like a cheap plastic Swatch watch ,but it takes all sorts today if it's hyped it will sell,as many buy the hype to wear it.

Tylerlsu2008 · 5 January 2024, 02:30 AM

I wouldn’t buy that silly watch at retail.

Rags · 5 January 2024, 02:33 AM

I also wound not pay $3K-$4K over retail. These prices are out of control.

amh · 5 January 2024, 02:35 AM

I'd only buy that watch so I could flip it. It's a weird fad piece.

Jackie Daytona · 5 January 2024, 02:37 AM

I would not pay that. I think it’s cool at retail, but certainly not at a premium.

It’s one of those styles that sorta go in and out of style.

HL65 · 5 January 2024, 02:42 AM

No but also wouldn’t buy it for MSRP.

Travis29 · 5 January 2024, 02:44 AM

nope.
