For an unworn Seadweller 43mm Watchfinder were offering sellers £1500 MORE than Blowers......how on earth Blowers get any stock is beyond me.

Watchfinder on £11000.

Watchfinder love to overpay for watches. But this is because people love to buy overpriced crap from watchfinder.

Undercut everyone on chrono24 at 12.5k and yours should get snapped up. Easy 4K in a few days.

Wish mine would arrive so I could get in on this free money!!

[hosedoctor]

Mine up for £12000. And no im not trying to advertise it on here

Just curious: are ADs or Rolex themselves not bothered about customers buying watches to flip? Are the ADs only interested in moving stock?

[hosedoctor]

Probably no more than Porshe,Ferrari,the art world ect ect?

Large rolex AD said to me last week that they want to sell to people who keep the watches and would not supply again to anyone who flipped one

Can't see how in reality they can police it though

They always say that, some even try to enforce "official" sticker removal procedure to stop flippers.

They are very interested in customers wanting to flip, they hate it as very often they prefer to sell to somone who cares about the watch and not making a fast buck. It's the distasteful side of the hobby.

They can't police it, but AD I got mine from sold their first Daytona to guy who quickly flipped and they had a call from Rolex asking why? That guy may be unlikely to get another sought after piece from that AD in future - one can only hope.

To be honest the grey dealers dont force anyone to buy from them,if you dont like the price dont buy it?

Of course they don't but the fact is that grey dealers make the market at the moment. Whatever price Watchfinder sets becomes a benchmark for the rest of the players. And their "prestige" allows them to ask for premium because sheep are in the "buy everything" mode at the moment.

I take your point but I don't think it's the dealers fault they sell for what people are willing to pay,I think a lot of people get jealous because they know what the retail is and don't like people earning out of them? I'm not saying that you are saying that yourself by the way. The thing is it only seems to be on watches people get the arse? As I said how about the auction houses someone buys a painting for say £10,000 and sell it for £100,000 and no one says anything it's simple if you don't like giving a profit to someone don't buy it!! And before anyone says "they stop real collectors getting them that's crap" I've said it before if you put in the work and keep trying you will get watches at retail money,and from what I hear from a lot of AD,s most people that waste there time putting there name down on lists can't even afford them in the first place! You wouldn't believe the number of watches I've bought over the years through dealers calling 2-3-4 people on the list for them to say I haven't really got the money at the moment! fking peasants they just make the lists bigger and waste everyone's time! Anyway gotta go got some sheep wants to know about the over price Sea dweller I'm selling!! LOL

I'm hoping there are lots of people that cannot afford the watch in front of me in the queue... I'm 13th so in for a long wait otherwise!

From what I've been told they won't be coming through proper until September and there a lot of interest in them?? All I would say is buy a few watches in between as that seems to help? Ie the dealer knows your not a messer.
