A Rolex Daytona Has Watch Collectors Green With Envy
The watch was released in 2017 and did not generate much demand initially. Then in March of this year, John Mayer, one of the entertainment business’s most prominent watch collectors, showed his off in Hodinkee’s “Talking Watches” web series, calling it “a sleeper hit.”
By April, authorized Rolex dealers ran through their supplies. Earlier this month, prices on the secondary market were running between $50,000 and $70,000.
“That was all it took,” said Paul Altieri, the chief executive of the Bob’s Watches, a leading online dealer of pre-owned Rolexes based in Newport Beach, Calif.

The new strategy is for the likes of Hodinkee to do a programme with these celebs, randomly pick a watch that was not hot and declare it a sleeper hit. Wait a few days, buy up tons of stock, release the video and profit. Rinse and repeat A Rolex Daytona Has Watch Collectors Green With Envy
