Typical of the forum these days..

Squabbling like a group of babushkas over a watch that nobody in the squabble is buying or is even remotely interested in buying..

Then some random stories pop up about DSW and some mistakes he made....out of the XXXXXX watches they have shipped without any issue...

Then people start get snarky about their wealthiness...

But wait! The market speaks and the watch sells....

All that carrying on for nothing...

what is so funny is that there are so many people in the forum claiming that the price of the Batman is cratering to below MSRP (you pick 1.0 or 2.0- they are equally uninformed guesses)..

As long as they are desired, Batman Rolex watches will sell for a premium. If people are taking them out of circulation, that is doing more to support price than any Grey market seller seeking a premium. Lessen supply as demand increases, price goes up.

These threads have become chronically cyclical. The theme is never about the watch but chest thumping about the deal or their keen insight into the market. It’s a pious way to openly judge how frugal or how foolish everybody else is how they spend their money.

Agreed. This is a worthless thread.

If I was a millionaire I wouldn’t keep stickers on watches.

They offered me 10k for my 2013 116520 which I thought was piss poor. Especially when they have them listed for 19k plus.

Why did you post? Much more effort to come up with a topic and start a thread...so why bother with this?

I clicked based on the title and was curious, but upon further review it was the usual cockamamy stuff..bummer.

We have, collectively, lost our minds over price/value relationship.

They are half the price at an AD. If I bought that watch I would be reminded every day I looked at my watch what an impatient fool I was with no self-control. It will be released again on an Oyster strap.

Also the people who continue to buy grey is only perpetuating this current situation as it gives these grey dealers more incentive to bottleneck the supply. Lots of greys hoard the hot models so they can sell them slowly at a higher margin.
