Don't blame Rolex, blame the customers...
for letting them get away with it. Luckily I'm not a Rolex fan and don't really care about the games they're playing, but if I were I'd be moving on at this point. So many excellent brands out there who actually want my money.
Can you guys imagine
If IWC tried to pull a stunt like this? They would close down in a year!! Only Rolex can do this to their customers and still profit as a non profit of course!!!

No I blame the brand
They cut production early and didn’t forecast demand. The AD’s treat customers like dirt and use shady sales tactics. If you think the customers controls supply and that every customer is a flipper looking to make a profit then that’s your opinion not a f...
I think you completely misunderstood my post
I never said every customer was a flipper looking to make a profit, no idea where you got that from. What I meant by 'blame the customers' is that diehard Rolex fans seem to be willing to put up with anything to get hold of a Rolex steel sports watch - ev...
GREED
This circle is not ending because people get their hands on these watches flip them to the grey market who in turn have all the supply and crank up prices. People with loads of cash are now the customers! It used to be people like myself that live in the ...
And you know
Rolex was not going to be phased out as redundant luxury. They have succeeded. but with many unhappy customers along the way.
The question is now where do they go
They cut production creating a huge demand which now cannot be met. This whole nightmare started in the fall of 2017 when Rolex just stopped deliveries until in the spring. Market has been a mess ever since. Dealers who got 10 to 12 Subs a year now are lu...
When the economy tanks or dips
Then people won’t have disposable income to spend on Rolex and slowly the AD’s will have those pieces sitting there like they used to. How many years from now? No idea but that’s the only way I see this stabilizing. That’s my opinion. Now as far as the gr...
I think I will get myself a 16600...
...just to remind myself of the time when Rolex was doing honest watches that were made out of unobtanium.
Hmm somehow I'm starting to think Rolex bought the other watch brands and just wants us to buy from those hehehehe :D with this unobtanium element # infintiny on the periodic table.
Some nice pieces there, but glad that nothing hits so hard that I go for buying one, of course the meteorite dial looks stunning and Platinum Daytona are tempting but thankfully out of my price range
