This is a balloon not a bubble as we are in an oligopoly not a liquid and efficient market, so the price pressure will have to be huge and persistent to break the will of the cartels, the other successful cartels of the world and S. America don't seem to suffer huge ups and downs with the markets so this will be more like that than a stock or share.

The bubble will be short lived with an economic downturn. However if the economy maintains current level, then I don't foresee that the Rolex bubble will burst within the next few years.

Reason: The political situation in the United States will remain static for the next 6 years and thus the economy will continue to be very robust. Expect steady growth despite all the Chicken Littles claiming there's going to be a crash. In my area houses are being built at a crazy pace and ALL are selling before they are even complete. We're not in a bubble in terms of economy, the growth is real. People are back at work and the government is staying out of the way. [And that's all I wish to say; thread likely to get locked otherwise] |

I'm going to laugh in 2 years if prices are higher. Too many expecting a fall right now. Remember Rolex is the strongest brand.
What falls first? A 5711, green SUBC or a Daytona?

If a global recession hits us, everything will come down in the grey market, sports steel models will be available at ADs with little wait and possible discounts.

IN the 80's you couldn't buy a Gold Day Date in the entire state of TX. Today, Rolex is shutting down many of those AD's. With the internet and Instagram, Rolex in the last few years has gotten crazy. This WILL pass as everything does. If you don't believe me, ask people who where on waiting lists in the 80's to buy a Day Date. Today you can buy them at a discount or as a budle. This WILL pass. Ask you AD's and if they are honest, like mine, they will say the same thing.

When steel is selling for more than gold, its a bubble.

People will stop buying over the price of retail little by little since now some Rolex AD are banning customers that they realize buy right away just to resell higher than the official dealers. Rolex does not profit on this, and it turns a great brand into a grey market of trades, which obviously is not something a big swiss brand like that would want to be associated with even thought it's already happening.
Not saying all of those people should get banned, but the intentions are clear when someone gets 6, 7 rolex, all in same year, and puts them up for sell. |

I have been watching SS prices since I got into the hobby in 2002 and through two recessions, I have only seen prices go one way - UP! There is no bubble to burst, there is only the way it is. Prices may stop rising as fast but they will not go back the way.

I don't think so. Folk who can afford to buy Rolex are not really affected by recessions, those who are, just make way for those who are not.. the demand is so high.

Wrong. Middle and upper middle class potential buyers are affected by recessions. They can lose their jobs, get scared and cut on luxury goods. The super rich are not affected, those buy high horology.

I donno. No one knows. I don’t think watches work like other assets during a recession. Even if they do go down. You still have a watch. That’s not so bad.

..but Rolex only make around 800,000 watches per year with a small % of those being SS Professional models and demand is very high, there are 7.5billion of us on the planet. The in-demand SS Rolex watches on the OP's list WILL still sell out, fast.

List of all the Hottest Rolex Watches and models likely to drop after the bubble pops
Quote:
No? Perhaps true for the most part. But one thing I know for sure is this: The minute I am 100% sure a recession won’t even make me blink, I’ll certainly stop buying Rolex and move into something more exclusive and prestigious. Love Rolex, so don’t get me wrong... but much like a BMW anybody on a “normal” salary can own one. Such isn’t the case for Haute Horology or a Pagani. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Something's gotta give. Sooner the better imo. SS - 18K how ridiculous.

There is no bubble. It is a different business model to what we have been accustomed to in the past. This model will stay and this model can easily tighten liquidity to a stand still.
Let's couple this with the fact that people like chasing things that are hard to get (usually products with scarcity value), so it makes me think the market is over. I am certainly not spending anymore on Rolex and have been very pleased with my Apple Watch. |
