New Batman Price Sustainability
Thoughts? I believe it will follow the pepsi trend. Seems to be starting out higher but that can be due to the recent craze for GMT specifically. Still trying to understand how it is going for more then a Daytona but I guess it is just the newness of it?

Of course it will follow the Pepsi trend. No reason to think it won’t.

I think there is too much obsession with grey market prices.

Supply is increasing. When that will actually reach the showcases vs the back office safes remains to be seen. 2 different AD’s have told me in the last month that they are receiving more new stock now than they have in 2 years.
Everyone can speculate on sustained prices for vintage stuff, but I don’t think anyone can argue that at some point everyone who wants a modern piece which is still in production, will have a chance to get one at MSRP. The “grey” price bottom will fall out almost immediately when this happens. All opinion

My AD sells the Batman same price as the Pepsi.

I know nothing, but i feel the BLNR jubilee will decrease more than the BLRO jubilee has. Reson being, it seems the BLRo version is much more desirable than the BLNR version. And many people already have a BLNR on oyster. More so than people having a modern BLRo on jubilee when that new one came out.

I doubt prices drop far. Availability will remain an issue I'd expect. It's Rolex's new MO.

Hard to saym but does sound crazy that it's going for more than the already crazy price of a 116500.

I have the new BLNR on jubilee and would instantly trade it for a 116500 white dial. Doubt I will find someone willing to make this trade though.

I think Rolexes are now a Veblen good. On that basis, I believe lower prices or greater supply would counterintuitively lessen demand. The reason everyone wants a Rolex is because they’re worth double retail and can’t be purchased in a store. Drop the market by 50% or make them available again and that paradigm is over. I don’t think Rolex is hurting, they’re just selling higher margin Datejusts and PM models instead of high volume, lower margin stainless.
