Could be entirely or partially true. Without question, North America and Europe are not getting inventory as in previous years, which means Rolex would be redistributing shipments to other markets.

This is why it’s always best to buy what you love and forget about the value as that’s never a constant, but passion for a watch that’s love at first sight is less fickle. Best,

If you had to write a 1000-word essay on why you (and your children and children’s children) deserve a Rolex, then there would be plenty to go around. Cazalea
No shareholders

You guys are obviously no shareholders haha (I know Rolex still privately owned but nonetheless )
I think it’s a bubble.

Too many other brands have the same quality reputation among the knowledgeable, but lack the status offered by a Rolex to the emerging wealthy. The perception that they are good investments feeds the frenzy (until the next downturn). And Rolex collectors ...
