Yup ...
Not a fan of this artificial scarcity. Miss the good old days when we could go to the shop, look at various models and make a purchase.
Anyways, luckily I have no craving for the HOT models such as ceramic daytona, rolesor sky-d, red sea dweller etc. So, it doesn't affect me.
On the bright side, however, this situation keeps the second hand value strong.

So Rolex will presumably update the submariner with the new movement this year. Let’s say that does happen. How long is the waiting list going to be? I find myself not excited anymore for upcoming Rolex models as they are unatainable and have year long wa...
Agree!
Rolex is obviously King, but their production and release strategy is annoying. Two years later stainless steel Daytona’s going for $17-20k in the aftermarket - insanity!

Absolutely!
I've really wanted the Black 116500 to compliment my White 116520 but the insane markups turned me cold. So, I'm in no hurry and continue to purchase other watches that are more attainable.
Make a modern DRSD and satisfy the craving of those who missed the yesteryear and doesn't want to pay crazy high prices for rusty :)
Good and bad for the resale and waiting list respectively but if you are brand loyal and good with your AD, that's the reward from Rolex to you. Rgds Raymond
Agreed
The false scarcity and increasing prices will ultimately hit their fan base and make the hobby out of reach for many but things will be what they will be I hope for yet more discontinuation but there is nothing else the brand could do to get me to buy ano...
I sold my 116520 white dial a while ago.
I hoped to get the new Daytona and that never happened! I then wanted to new seadweller with red text and that never happened! So now since there are no steel models available and as far as I can tell are no longer on their website. Only the two tones sho...
I am not expecting something, specially. I just want to be surprised, and my last surprise from Rolex dates from 2016.
The Air King. Something I really like a lot. Or the Daytona 116500 LN White dial. I still have to see two watches in the flesh: The Seadweller 50th Anniversary, and the James Cameron Deep Seadweller. So I hope Rolex won't come with anything else which wil...
Oh yes
That’s a sick looking watch. If they make a whie dial explorer then I am all over it!
I would like to see...
An updated Submariner no date with the 3235 movement and a domed saphire crystal. That would tick most of my boxes for a modern daily.
Whatever they do with the subs
I will be buying it. I sold both my sub c and he hulk a while back and really want the updated movement. The one thing I don’t want to do is be on a 55 year waiting list!!! I assume they will have them ready to ship fairly quick. I don’t see how Rolex can...
Its a total joke
Rolex comes out with new models but nobody can get them. I have tried for a white dial ceramic Daytona for two and a half years years but to no avail. But they are on the secondary market at big markups. it make me wonder why even look at them at Basel. I...
