Rare Rolex Day Date Coral 18208

This is Rolex Day Date coral.

No matter you like it or not, I was able to persuade Rolex Swiss to assemble one last Coral dial on to a 118238 and we bought it three years ago at AD and sold it to a HK collector at HK$2XXXXX ! 

That watch is probably worth with almost $700,000 or more now!

Now Antiquorum is carrying a 1996 ref 18208 with coral dial.

The most collectible colour is Coral, Lapis Lazuli, Malachite, onyx... I still Remember someone looked at me saying too expensive as I sold one 18038 Coral with Rolex paper with certain price, half of this price 2 years ago.

Sometimes it is not hunch but knowledge that could predict what is the value of some watches in future!

The rule is how rare it was and how “ ugly” it was! After certain year peoples ’ taste would change and  it becomes how beautiful it is! 😂

New Tiffany Blue OP is two times the SRP! 

Some people say, let’s wait and the price will drop, I think the price will be slightly adjusted but will float at +5 -10% of this price within these three months.

Patek Philippe will increase price on 1 Oct 2020

This is new price book for Patek Philippe, well, no one can have any feeling at all for price increase, as you can not get a Patek with SRP at all, it take a few years before you are given a call for your Nautilus collection.

Hot Rolex OP colourful watch 2020

After 1^st September, there is never short of surprise, first the slightly enlarged 41mm Submariner 126610LN, 126610LV was available in the authorized Dealer (AD), actually each AD should carry one set of new Rolex in Hong Kong, but not Taiwan, Philippines, nor Thailand.

 

Price of Submariner Green bezel is highest hitting $200,000 in the first two days, people will think that price will drop one week or so to a state of $120,000!

 

It is proven wrong, as of today 13 September, the Green Bezel Submariner (it got a nicked name Starbucks) is still selling as an average $165,000.

Submariner Black with date 126610LN is $121,000

How about those OP? An oyster perpetual 36mm ref 124300 with SRP $43,400.

 

This is the known price on media like fb, IG.

 

Turquoise $77,000

Green $65,000

Yellow, Red and Orange yet to be seen and no price

Black and Silver should be around SRP.

 

I guess that orange and Red shall not be cheaper than turquoise and green.

Let’s watch out

 

We don’t have 41mm yet in the market.

If you can see those colour selling at SRP, I think you should buy, if not let me know where if that is in HK.

 

Price indicated here is in Hong Kong Dollar

Price of Submariner

Don't believe or not, the dealer trading price for Submariner black 116610LN is HK$92,000.

The Hulk is even insane, HK$133,000!

What a price under this worldwide unstable economy and amidst of COVID-19!

What is reason for such a simple watch to shoot up to this price?

Stop production?

Rolex shipment getting slim?

or more newer collector or users are entering into hype of Rolex sport watch?

I am thinking the big dealer is stocking up Hulk as they speculate the model will soon be discontinued.

So this is the last bet before September that there is some news of new Rolex model roll out from factory?

Just called the Rolex AD, one manager told me Hulk has been stopped to produce, that they have not seen one more than three weeks

How much you can expect these four Rolex watches bought three years worth Today?

This was my last post on 5 Mar 2019 forecast on a few watches such as Daytona 116500LN white

Hulk Submariner 116610LV, Submariner 116610LN, GMT Master II 116710BLNR.

This is a review on say if we bought one each in August 2017, what would be the value today?

Price on 8/ 2017

Daytona 116500LN White $128,000

Hulk Submariner 116610LV $88,000

Submariner 116610LN $67,000

GMT Master II 116710BLNR $73,000

Total amount was 356,000.

Price on 8/2020

After 3 years today price is:-

Daytona 116500 $193,000

Hulk Submariner 116610LV $120,000

Submariner 116610LN $92,000

GMT Master II 116710BLNR $100,000

Total $505,000

 

Nett profit is $149,000 if you bought these watches three years ago.

Profit margin is 41%

But as you know that is the price you can buy now at the market currently, someone may not like three years old watch so the price is lowered, but if you keep that in mint full sticker condition further would be a very good investment in future!

Money shown here is HKD.
