@@rudimussrodeln That's not right. I bought my GMT from an AD in 2001 for £2170 (just checked the receipt) and, at that time, the Submariner date was roughly the same price. So, there is no way the Submariner date was £2250 eleven years before that.
I love Rolex but I refuse to play their game or get screwed buying a preowned from the grey market. I am not going on a list to buy what they want to sell me instead of what I want. I just walked in to a random AD, bought a new Tudor BB 41 in burgundy/jubilee bracelet and couldn’t be happier. I can afford a to buy a preowned Rolex but I prefer buying a brand new Tudor with 5 years warranty and my peace of mind.

I like your resourceful mind in producing several different titles. In 2018, I was at Rolex Mongolia. I saw the bundle, if you wanted the Panda you had to buy a gold Submariner. A mandatory bi-metal; purchase was a requirement for a Submariner-Date.
The luxury watch market is dead, grey market dealers will begin starving soon. Bleeding is starting. Rolex will also begin learning its lessons, mistreating direct retail customers to help grey market scum is short money. Long game starting to play out for Rolex.
Love these update videos!. Datejust also had a price hike for 2025. I just realized that my datejust 41 fluted oyster mint motif was discontinued. Discontinued doesn't always mean price increase. What's your opinion on the price of this piece in the future?
I really pay no attention to what yhe market is doing, aside from your videos. I just wear the watches, thats what they are for, not investments, not to flex either. I enjoy this hobby.
More than 1 AD (1 in Asia and 1 in NYC) have been trying to bundle solid gold skydwellers with the Pepsi GMT with Jubilee I actually want. I am just like for that kind of a hit, I can just go grey.
I think with the price increase people will just buy less. Realistically people only wear two to 3 watches. We also might see more people wearing their watches instead of treating watches as an investment.
Very honest,open and informative video. Especially from a watch dealer, when most others will be banging on about how everything is rosy in the industry! Sub earned 👍

I have been thinking of buying a Day-Date and I guess I could pretend I really want the Daytona Panda and pretend I could be talked into the champagne stick dial yellow day date 40mm and essentially get both watches and flip the Daytona which I think is a mediocre watch and selling it to subsidize a portion of the Day Date isn’t a bad idea. Probably the only bundle I would do.
thank you for the great info. So far in 2025, two weeks ago I passed on a Zombie and last week on a Day/Date Rose Gold fluted bezel Olive green dial-Roman numeral. the $3k hike on the day/date was just too much to pay.
They also need to factor in yearly staff pay raises increased cost in machinery shipping etc. They will go up every year to cover all these costs it's simple economics
Market prediction. Grey dealers will have a lot fewer new watches than previous years. It’s not worth buying to flip for the vast majority of watches now. This means far fewer new watches going to the grey.
@@gaffs82 its cooling for the precious metal models mostly not the steel models, the ADs are gonna start pulling the buy a gold watch to buy a sport model again, which means less flippers will be flipping, but people still want the sports model...
I bet the gold ones don’t struggle to sell n Dubai or Saudi it’s just the British market.. people don’t wish to make themselves targets or wear blingy sparkly things - tastes have changed - just like people don’t wear sovereign rings anymore & I think the only thing that stopped gold Rolexes prices plummetting before was people were buying them as investments like art & not to enjoy as a timepiece 👍🏻 stainless has been the preferred UK watch to wear for years now hence why they hold their value more
Does anybody think that Rolex will decrease their prices on gold models when gold prices go down? I can understand that they need to adjust their prices as they need to buy (/hedge) gold for the number of watches they will produce throughout a year. But what if gold prices go down significantly next year? Will Rolex adjust accordingly? What do you think?
He offers an honest service. You pay a bit more buying and lose a bit selling with dealers like this, but what you do get is a safe environment. It's a very dangerous business trying to privately buy and sell expensive watches these days, especially Rolex. You could lose more than just your money or watch if you're not careful.
@@RogueTrader- What kind of "honest watch dealer" tells you what watches to buy from the AD to flip to him at a profit? Thus, causing the watch collectors and enthusiast to wait years and/or pay MORE on the GREY market. Grifters like this clown has caused untold losses.
Rolex is eliminating the AD games. They are making more steel watches and precious metal watches which have been forced on buyers as a precursor to getting steel are now more expensive than on the gray market. They are squeezing the dying AD.
Hi Charlie I hope you and all your team at LWC have made a positive start to 2025. I believe we will have more opportunities to buy from your AD over the next 12 to 18 months. Including the Rolexs that are supposed to be hard to buy. It's all about what customer relationship you have with your personal Rolex AD. Only time will tell i wish everyone at LWC a healthy wealthy year ahead take care best wishes
Yep - ADs will hold on to sports steel even more firmly and will look to bundle with precious metal to grey - I expect steel prices on the grey market will likely increase as a result in fact.
When I was in London last March, I went into an A.D. and the only Rolexes they had in stock for anyone to buy were a couple of precious metal Sky Dwellers. Nice looking watches, but not my cup of tea.
Has anybody calculated if Rolex makes 1.5m watches and 30% of the watches have say 50g in it as an average and they use 2250kg ? Or is that 22,500kg?? in gold, how much that can affect the gold price??
Enjoyed that Charlie, Rolex will have to discount some models as no one will buy them, but knowing Rolex they will know exactly what they are doing!! 👏🏻😁
It won’t be easy for AD’s to use the PM as leverage like the last few years If the AD’s can’t shift them at MRSP then Rolex may send them less or even cancel their franchise!
Looking at various articles lately and speaking to my AD, I would say that the grey market is about to be destroyed. Sub with date at rrp can be as little as 12 months. Rolex wants to finally bring down the waiting lists for most of their range.
I don’t think it’s a matter of not being able to afford it. Rich people don’t get rich by wasting money and on top of that they are egotistical. If they know the watch they buy is losing a ton of money and aren’t getting anything back from it they’ll probably not want it as much.
@@ransom3057 I agree no one especially anyone who has made his or hers wealth just does not throw away there cash . Always laugh at those who assume if you ask the price you cannot afford it. I say those who actually make a comment like that never have or never will make it on their own .
Last month my AD contact told me he has a whole safe full of precious metal Sky-Dweller pieces but nobody is buying them - it will only be worse now with the Jan price increase!
I'd be surprised if rolex didn't have a good stock of gold tucked away,it'd be bad business not to be aware of the gold value creeping up slowly over that period if time,so to me they are taking the p!ss as normal
If you are selling precious metal models for under RRP (Daytona excepted)then where is your stock coming from? Same for Stainless models, if the flippers can't make a profit they aren't going to bother buying, therefore no grey market stock
some buy them at full retail to be able to get the real watch they want, then dump them for a few thousand loss. Dumb game in my mind, but some play it that way.
Nobody saw this coming? Don't they raise prices every single year? They sell more watches than any brand...why would they not raise prices? Please, people. I'm begging you...stop paying ridiculous prices for Rolex from grey dealers. End the incentive for people to flip the watches so we can all get a Rolex from an AD.
I think it is a smart move. Rolex is a status symbol, it is everyone’s goal etc. they have stay relevant and have stay “high-priced”. They are not a “value” brand.
Rolex has their own gold production. Most of times, where there’s uncertainty in the world, people invest in gold. As far as Rolex is concerned, they are only take advantage of these price increases. They own their own mine, so it’s not like they are exposed to price fluctuations. Their cost of production doesn’t change with volatile prices.
@ I think you failed to grasp or comprehend my point. It appears as though the host in the video is lamenting the fact that new Rolexes wouldn’t be available, especially for those made from precious metals. I simply stated a fact that it doesn’t cost Rolex additional money in their operating expenditures. Myself and the host both agree that the four percent increase would have a deleterious effect on Grey Market’s bottom line. Luxury goods sales are down across the board from cars to sneakers. Jewelers are also suffering tremendously from gold prices being about $2,700.00 USD/oz. Buyers aren’t there anymore because that is the number one metal in jewelry. I hope you understand a tad better. Market prices I understand very well. Again, I was just stating a fact.
If Rolex don’t stop the dealers skullduggery in this market then they will fail soon. As a lawyer I am still on a waiting list from my AD, but know they had a delivery in with 12 models of my preferred watch type, only for 3 to be given to clients. The other 7 are not in the store. Fish is what I am smelling…..off to Omega now forever.
I think it’s fine to say that Rolex manufactures it’s gold. After all, they mix 75% gold with 25% other metals in order to manufacture their 18k yellow gold alloy.
Talking some sense, but a load of bollocks too. As per. 15k for a 2024 batgirl? 12k for 2024 Wimbledon. Behave Charlie.😂😂😂😂 They're on ebay stickered and unworn for £12.5k and 10k respectively and not selling. Stop talking up prices as you sound like a (bad) del boy taking viewers for mugs. 😉😂
@@laurencefahey3132 well I’d say find a different AD, the one near me has been a amazing and I’m in a huge market area with lots of rich people, and I’m not rich but have been offered 2 sought after watches and waiting on a 3rd. So be patient and don’t deal with a sales person who treats you less than the way they should be treating you. After all without customers they have no business.
@ALL-il1sw 💯 Sold all mine a few years back. They were worth loads and just sitting in a draw. Now they've fallen below retail, and are embarrassingly common. Nice good quality watches, just killed by commercial obsession, so suprised people still make back to back Rolex videos
I live currently on Mallorca. Literally everybody is wearing a Rolex over here. Everywhere, even in the Gym. Rolex has always been the dominant brand in the market and will be exactly the same in future.
In 1988 I purchased a Seadweller 4000 for £926 cash. Just walked in and purchased it. Those were the days!
And you can do that right now. Any AD. Just walk in and buy any watch you want. No lists. No bs. Right now.
@@puppiTubeBS
Ah incredible! Such a great watch. Those were the days indeed! 🙌
BS. A submariner date was 2,250 pounds in 1990 and Seadwellers were even more expensive. Even with discount given, it surely wasnt below 2000 pounds.

@ Good man.
If gold prices went up 20-30% every year for the last 5 years it would be over 10k an oz.
He said it's hit record highs every year for the last 5 years. And 20-30% the last year... he just said it real fast.
Gold watches are gonna crash in the secondary market... Even before the price hike, appetite was no longer there...
There’s something about the 9 indice that just destroys the Wimbledon dial for me.

I think it’s fine to say that Rolex manufactures it’s gold. After all, they mix 75% gold with 25% other metals in order to manufacture their 18k yellow gold alloy.
@ That isn't manufacturing. I suggest you look up the definition of the word. Rolex would refine, smelt and purify the naturally forming element.
Omce the stock market crashes this year. People want to get rid of their overpriced crap steel Rolex es.
Talking some sense, but a load of bollocks too. As per. 15k for a 2024 batgirl? 12k for 2024 Wimbledon. Behave Charlie.😂😂😂😂 They're on ebay stickered and unworn for £12.5k and 10k respectively and not selling. Stop talking up prices as you sound like a (bad) del boy taking viewers for mugs. 😉😂
He is a grifter. Got to keep the mugs entertained and keep the bs hype flowing. He's going broke and quickly. And rightly so too, scammer.
I turned down the yellow gold blue dial submariner from my AD , got fed up with the way Rolex treat their customers.
@@laurencefahey3132 well I’d say find a different AD, the one near me has been a amazing and I’m in a huge market area with lots of rich people, and I’m not rich but have been offered 2 sought after watches and waiting on a 3rd. So be patient and don’t deal with a sales person who treats you less than the way they should be treating you. After all without customers they have no business.
Wise to pass on that one! Yes it can be a disappointing experience at times!
The AD think they rule the watch world scum of the earth id rather pay a bit more on grey market than beg at the AD
Same content every week .... getting boring unfortunately
Biggest scam
Don't waste your time don't buy Rolex .

🐑 No 🐑, only 🐑 sheep 🐑🐑
@ALL-il1sw 💯 Sold all mine a few years back. They were worth loads and just sitting in a draw. Now they've fallen below retail, and are embarrassingly common. Nice good quality watches, just killed by commercial obsession, so suprised people still make back to back Rolex videos
I live currently on Mallorca.
Literally everybody is wearing a Rolex over here.
Everywhere, even in the Gym.
Rolex has always been the dominant brand in the market and will be exactly the same in future.
I have my father's over 38 year old Rolex Datejust. I have the original receipt of what he paid in 1986.
Incredible! I bet that has some stories to tell 👌🏻
