Has Rolex priced itself out?
There's a poll in the General Forum that's 36-to-8 last time I checked saying the $9000 Deep Sea is way over-priced. Now I'm sure the watch will sell-out, at least short term to real Rolex fans. And many of the poll voters would find any 9k watch over-priced. But here are my questions:Is Rolex pricing itself out of it's market (high end machine made mass production)? Will the bubble finally burst? Will horologists migrate to rarer and more "exclusive" brands? And if so, what will happen to Rolex resale, which, in my opinion, is the only thing that justifies the price tag on the brand. I'm not trashing the watches guys (I understand the historical import of many Rolex break-throughs and designs).

The Grand Slam was in my sights... and I took an intentional walk instead.
There it was - the watch that could have completed my Grand Slam, the 4th Horseman of the Omegalypse: the Seamaster Melbourne XVI.eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low pricesI stood by and took a pass. It even went for under the price I said I would pay at maximum (although the winner may have bid higher but only needed the $2393 to win). It just wasn't right for some reason. Didn't like the replacement crown, wasn't crazy about the dial condition, and something kept pulling my fingers off the keyboard in the final minute. Maybe I was worried Windy would pummel me. Or maybe I'm becoming allergic to eBay. Ah, stuff happens, right? Luckily these watches aren't that rare.

trimming down
I still have close to 20 watches , earlier this year I had close to 40 watcheshopefully with in couple month, I will be down to these 4 or 5 My next watch will be a dive watch, most likely a SEIKO spring drive unless I get a great offer on a Rolex dive watch.:rolleyes:these are the ones I am keeping until next round of flipping.
