1.2 million timepieces in 2023 with sales of 10.1 billion Swiss francs. That is the monopolistic business juggernaut we know as Rolex. They pump out 680,000 more units than their closest rival Cartier and yet you still cant get the watch you want brand new at Retail. Well, Rolex have a plan for that!
Or do they?....With new temporary production facilities scheduled to open only next year, it is time now to address these questions.. Will you be able to buy the rolex you want without a waitlist? Will this crash the values of models STILL sitting at premiums on the grey market? Is this going to be the seismic event as speculated by many that changes the blueprint of the industry from the AD buying experience to perhaps the redundancy of the grey market dealer?

Not sure how the 30% figure of demand was calculated but if it is from rolex stores judging it based on wait lists then they'll be in for a shock. Most people on the wait list are looking to flip the watch as soon as they get it, if demand grows so large that profit margins decrease then we will see demand go down as well. Many people also want one simply because they can't get one, who's to say they'll still be interested when the wait goes down from 1 years to a few weeks or months? This isn't even factoring in the economic beating we've been getting since 2022 with no signs of recovery. Rolex has to play this perfectly or they could see themselves stuck holding the bag of watches with no buyers in sight.

Rolex could take control of the gray market by raising prices on its new/unworn stock, and at the same time, pricing CPO pieces below RRP. Now, Rolex lets the AD's pay to bring the pre-owned pieces to the CPO standard AND then Rolex "certifies" the watch in Switzerland, which adds a hefty cost to the watch. If the Rolex cost to certify is removed, the CPO watches could sell below today's RRP. The gray market would then flow through the AD's.

Behind the scenes Rolex AD has many solid gold Rolex watches that they can't sell. To be honest, who is just going to walk in an AD and spend 40k of a solid gold Rolex. Even if you can, most people will make purchase on credit. And now with interest rates around 5 to 7% , it's going to be difficult. Rolex AD has solid gold models in the windows now and no signs for display only. That says alot for Rolex AD now.

I'm after a Polar Explorer 2 and I've been promised same by my Rolex AD sometime this year. I have noticed however that this model is available brand new on the grey around retail and one to two years old for below from reputable sellers. I will stick with my AD who's looked after me but there's no doubt in my mind very few models are a solid flip now, meaning most are available without crazy premiums, or maybe none. That has to be good for those who want a watch to keep. This was pre Covid normality and we are now close.

Not sure why it’s called the grey market, it’s just a second hand market, that has existed for decades. It will be good to get away from the flipping culture, but second hand Rolex will still be for sale. We might see less opportunitists, but legitimate jewellers will still be selling. We all hope the market cools a little, after the crazy bubble we had. Are we not just returning to what was normal before?

True. But the difference is the quantity of new pieces that go straight to the secondary market. There are stories here and there about people who’ve been waiting and finally getting the call for a Sub. But not that many - at least in big cities - and the sheer numbers of the popular steel sports models isn’t going down on the big grey sites.

I think there is one variable you have completely missed… which is the existing stock and circulation of Rolex watches. Remember, prior to the hype bubble of 2019 - Rolex were still making about a million or so watches every year. So while you’re correct that demand is outstripping current supply levels - you need to consider the amount of Rolex’s produced over the last 10-20 years, as people still buy them. Just go on watch finder and see how many hundreds of Rolex watches are sitting in their inventory; and that is just one UK based watch dealer. So overall, I think the idea that Rolex is hard to get is slightly overblown; you can get them and the market trend for second hand watches is going down ever so gradually until they trade below retail.

yes this is partly true though it doesn’t make any difference to the demand for the the key pillar models (gmt, sub, daytona) at retail.

Rolex miscalculated the influence of the content of U-tube channels. Fact is people are getting wise the the Rolex AD want customers to line and pay a premium to be kicked in the balls for the privilege of getting a stainless steel watch worth a $1000 selling for 10k. It's not even good stainless steel like CPM S30V. I predict that vintage Rolex in 18 K gold will be what people want going forward. Build a new factory is a flex. The fact is Rolex has been selling choice models out the back door of Rolex AD dealers to the grey market for years. It's all a scam.

Really Vinny, you just said you can walk in to a Rolex AD and pick up solid gold and bi metal watches straight away, so why would you build a billion dollar factory to make more gold watches no ones queueing up for? Rolex has done just fine for the last 100 years where you could buy any Rolex walking off the street, and I remember not so long ago when many AD's offered 0% interest over 3 years to buy them. The Rolex brand has always been seen as luxury when anyone could buy them, and pick them up with no issues. I guarantee if Rolex could sell 3 million watches a year they'd do it in a heartbeat.
