My husband’s birthday is at the end of the month. The only thing he asked for is the Bruce Wayne Rolex. Never worn with all papers and hangtag, jubilee band if possible but would take Oyster. I have only been able to find them for 22k plus. Is there any other option??? He asks for so little and would never buy for himself but having a hard time paying double the price. I would appreciate any help or guidance! ❤️
Rolex make around 1.1 million watches a year.
Rolex shops & AD's 1,302 (inc Bucherer, I think)
That's 844 watches per outlet.
I keep hearing how they can't sell some watches as no-one wants them. They only sell them to Daytona buyers sucking up to AD's for purchase history.
I must be missing something.
Are they selling 700 watches per store of watches no-one really wants so they can sell 144 watches people do like? And at retail,which was 30 - 100% less than grey market for years?
It just seems such a bad business model.
The watches they make that don't sell dilute desirability. Anyone who buys them gets told 'Eh, I don't like that watch.'
Every other business, if some things sell, you make them.
If others don't, you stop making them.
I realise their system keeps up prices, makes their watches investments, doesn't flood market and makes them less attainable and more desired.
But it seems a weird business plan.
Are all watch brands making unpopular watches that don't sell, instead of shifting to those that do?
Tell me what I'm missing.
