[Kenji1986]

Generally anyone knows how many percwnt increase for sports model?

Although DD or DJ may not hold their value as good as the sports models, I simply love the former so will hold on to mine.

Thanks for the info on the price increase n upcoming gst increase in 2021 sure to drive up rolex prices.

Thinking of buying a gold Rolex, maybe a skydweller, as these are actually available in like the stainless. Problem is they seem to be a very poor buy in terms of depreciation. Any experience in buying gold models new and used and which to go for and avoid?

The peculiarity of luxury watches (not just ROLEX) is that, the stainless steel (SS) models are often more 'precious' than their precious metals models

It is all about demand-and-supply. Most often than not, the SS models tend to be higher in demand and lesser in supply, hence, the higher resale value. Those in half/full precious metals are the opposite, and so, the lower resale value. Best is to buy what you truly like and want to own and use.

do you know what is the current preowned price no date titanium sub 1140600?

ROLEX "no-date" Submariner has reference no. "114060".
ROLEX Ref. 114060 comes only in stainless steel and no titanium model as far as I know.

Thanks for this man. I'm contemplating getting a Milgauss or an Explorer 1 to add in my collection. I currently own 16610, 16613LN and 116523.. Maybe a day date is more ideal as it holds it value and a dress watch would be nice too.

"Maybe a day date ... it holds it value .."

Are you sure?! Have you checked the price of a new Day-Date (DD) vs a pre-owned DD? I'm not so sure if a DD holds its value

Rolex sea dweller 116600 year 2012

12k good price?

The retail price of the 116600 in 2012 should be $13,590, if I'm not mistaken. It later went up to $13,990 before it was discontinued early last year. $12K for a decent full set is a good price.

Hard to say; seems unlikely at the moment. Of course ROLEX watch value will depreciate as much as they appreciate. Among the sports models, some of those that had seen depreciation include the ROLEX Explorer 1, GMT-Master II (SS, black bezel), Milgauss GV, the 'discon' Milgauss models (black and white dial).

Will Rolex Explorer 1 114270 holds it value? Any chance a rolex watch value will depreciate?

If Rolex really were to increase their prices for brand new pieces, will it also affect 2nd hand prices to shoot up even higher in the market?

I might imagine that every goes up as a result.

More increase this year due to GST might raise by govt.

Yes, yes, yes.
