Why? The world is awash in money, Rolex sells everything as fast as they make it and they still cannot meet demand. There are Rolex watches everywhere and there will continue to be.

Rolex is a watch, especially in high traffic areas. Talking about Monaco, St Tropez, Miami, NYC, St Barthes, Naples. Expensive areas to visit will have expensive toys.
Would be different story if you said Austin MN was packed full of Rolex would of been more interesting. ALS, AP, PP, VC are uncommon to be seen in the wild. |

It depends where you are, in the tourist areas it is safe but you always have to be vigilant of pick pocket. In the Napoli train station it’s a disaster though, lots of theft. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Not accurate - case in point all the EMPTY cases of Rolex at 3 Torneau locations here in NYC , and Wempe. Market price you say? There are subs going for 2k plus above retail - preowned. Waiting lists are 6+ months. There are no rolexes to be “had” by any means - at least here in NYC. |

Yes and no. Chrono24 for USA location reports this for the Sub41 “We've found 12 results for “126610ln Stainless Steel” and only 20 for the entire world selling through Chrono24. At this moment in time I would consider that model extremely low volume for a high profile Rolex.

I reiterate my point. Almost any Rolex anyone wants is for sale and available right now. Just be prepared to “pay up sucker”. |

Went to the Masters a couple years back, seemed like every other person was wearing a Rolex. Most I’ve seen in one setting, by far.
Saw several on a recent trip down to the Redneck Riviera. Stainless Yachtmaster II, new Bluesy…several OPs and Datejusts on women. Caught a few Panerais as well — Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The last couple months I have been tracking the most iconic SS popular new model in this current market just to see if it looks like Rolex might in fact be limiting the amount they are releasing. I have been keeping my search pool only on the USA. I am focused only on all SS. Being a all new model, dealers have not had years to be hoarding inventory. I figure this might give a idea of how many SS models Rolex is really releasing into the wild. |

Highest concentration I've seen has been various towns in Switzerland, followed by Milano, and then London.

A couple years back I was on holiday in New Orleans. I couldn’t believe how many rolexes I spotted each day. I was easily seeing 20-30. Then I found out that there was a medical convention happening. Apparently every hotel was booked solid with MDs. That explained it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I saw probably a dozen in Italy during the week I was there in 2019, other than that honestly never see them aside from one offs from time to time. I spent a week in Switzerland and saw zero somehow early 2020. It was right as covid was starting to become a big deal however and there weren't a lot of people around in general on trains etc. so maybe during normal times with normal crowds they'd be out and about.

Bump. Don’t see myself going on a vacation anytime soon due to Covid. Nice to read about others stories. Keep them coming!

Maybe so, but I’m betting that only 12 of those sellers actually have the watch that they are trying to sell. The rest are trying to get an offer and then go try to find the watch for less than the offer. Or they are just trying to get your money without getting a watch to you.

I was in Turks and Caicos back in April and saw many. Also was in Newport RI last week and saw the same.

Yes, you see it everywhere !
I will keep my 1655 and 1680, collector's items and heritage, but I'm losing interest in the brand, 'cause it is no longer for enthusiasts... (This does not call into question the qualities of the watches)

Half the people are wearing fakes, sadly the hyper clones have become so good they get away with it too. They do these “style check” shows on YouTube where they stop people on the street and ask what their outfit costs. Apart from the usual Gucci t shirts and 500 dollar Trainers they all wear a Rolex. And most of them turned out to be fake. So don’t be too jealous of that Daytona wearing bus boy or your FA on Delta sporting a BLRO
