I wanted no brands on it, but out of interest I checked the price for the authentic hermes card holder.https://www.hermes.com/ie/en/product/city-8cc-jungle-card-holder-H074367CAAA/

In Hartmanns I looked at Sub date, non date and I think they had a green one as well, I passed at the time because they didn't really grab me.

Financial industry, large tech firms etc. making big buck and easy 5 figure bonuses that are happy to splash the cash. I think so also. Seen one in the flesh earlier and it’s better than I though! Have tried on a gaggle of watches today and yesterday!
Cyrus wrote: » sorry it was 12k not 9k, still its some markup. i get your point on large bonuses, but it would want to be more like large 6 figure bonuses to really not care that you are paying almost 3 times retail for a s/s rolex. id rather get an AP or something more interesting.

I understand they are there to make a buck, but its readily available information. A snazzy showroom, appointment only, maybe with a nice dolly out front and tasty coffee will only further increase the prices, and I am sure they will have an interesting take on the exchange rate.....try em on there and then hop on chrono24.

Prices will surely soften but perhaps not in the short-term. If WF open in Dublin I may be tempted to turn my BLNR into something more elegant with a higher RRP value. The fear is the fact that is discontinued and prices may still rise....need to remember that Rolex probably made 50k plus BLNRs since launch and they will never be truely rare in any logical sense of the word. You still have the hulk? Tried on an AP today in a secondhand dealer. Standard enough RO on steel bracelet. Didn’t really light my fire like I thought it would. Think it would have been nice on rubber. I expected to like it more!

Rootsblower wrote: » That probably won’t help, even “basic” SS models are massively in demand.AD’s require a previous purchase history before you get a shot at the good stuff. Your best bet without establishing a ‘relationship’ with an AD is to buy from the secondary market. Though this may cost a few bob more than retail price.
Creamy Goodness wrote: » Does building a relationship with an AD would that span cross watch brands e.g. would me owning an Omega from Weirs help in getting on the Rolex list?
Cyrus wrote: » loads of anecdotal evidence in the UK that it does help. Not sure how weirs or keanes operate here to be honest nor do i know how much stock they get!
Rootsblower wrote: » If your name is in their database as a previous customer having purchased anything at all not just Rolex would help. Depending on how much the previous spend was will dictate how quick u get your no date sub. I’m told they are harder to get than a sub with date.
