- PART 2 HERE : • DOOMED Watch Flippers’...
The first channel to openly and honestly reveal luxury watch dealer trade values is back with Flip pr Pass?
TRADE PRICES! A closely guarded secret of most grey market watch dealers, they’ll only tell if you ask and actually nowadays, you’ll be lucky to even get an offer on your Rolex without needing to squeeze it out of them….it’s become almost customary lately that sellers will approach a dealer only to get the lackadaisical response of how much are you looking to get for it?
And you’ve done your research, you have a price in mind, you respond with such price suggestion only be left in most cases on ‘seen’.
Of course, the tables have turned the power of choice now lies in the hands of the dealers, for every reference that’s offered to them they can go and find another three on their dealer WhatsApp groups, they don’t need you and they don’t need your watch, they’ll take it only if the price is tempting enough and better than anywhere else!
So, what are those prices? Which red list Rolex references will you actually struggle to find many dealers wanting to buy it off you at all? - Vinny is back with flip or pass!

Grey market dealers will offer you list price for that unworn SS Submariner then proceed to sell it on their site for a 50% markup 🤡🤡🤡
Flip or Pass is definitely my favourite genre 🙂
I agree 100% that the BS circulating about the Pepsi being discontinued because Rolex have somehow forgotten how to make the bezel for it (seriously - people believe this?) is pure FOMO generated by dealers who are holding a bag of them. The price will collapse after Watches and Wonders when the model isn't discontinued.
Another banger of a video
It’s been a while but was definitely time to do an updated flip or pass and i can’t wait to see how the prices drop when it’s not given the chop
Love this video, hope you keep putting out more like this!
Thank you! Will do!
Majority of consumers developed the Rolex fatigue at this point. They were treated like trash by the AD upon asking for a professional SS reference, whilst in reality the AD was selling the stock back door to the grey dealers. Also, the whole watch trend sentiment is fading away fast. There are no more helicopter money, people are not locked up in homes anymore, they are spending money elsewhere. This is not the 2021 anymore. Rolex was never a premium price brand. I could get whatever I like at 15-25% OFF before 2018. Those times are coming back fast!
hmm interesting point, I would be shocked to see retail discounts being offered but who knows if they can’t shift solid gold pieces perhaps that’s where it will start
Technically, we already have discounts. Almost all YG daydates can be found bellow retail. Two tone datejusts and some steel datejusts as well. Even the two tone GMT GRNR can be found bellow retail in Germany in classifieds .. The AD's are still clearing the years old waiting lists and they are catching the last crayon eaters to sell them that 31mm diamond dial datejust. Once that dries up, we will see the discounts even at the AD @@vinnyfrancis
Rolex was premium priced since day one my friend 😂
As the market and economy start taking more of a steeper downturn, it’s going to affect luxury items first, there will be less demand and the free market will dictate the price for watches
BP my respect ✊🏻 to you you’re truly a professional at your craft unbelievable but true. TSGWMID💀
Very kind of you my friend, keep up the good work, thanks!
Another great post, thank you Vinny 🖐
Glad you enjoyed it thanks mate
Great content as usual. I love these updates.
Glad you enjoy it!
Very informative video. Well done. Thanks.
You are welcome! thanks for watching mate
Nice content. Thanks for
Thanks for watching!
Great stuff, keep up the good work 🤙🏻
Thanks man!
Vinny's channel became the best place to get real, useful information.
Glad you think so! thanks for watching mate
It's good to see a dealer being honest about prices.
Thanks Vinny, entertaining as usual. 👍
Thanks Steve🙏
A ⭐️Fantastic content as usual - refreshing straight as it is 👍👍
thanks a lot for your kind words
Just wait one year more and most Rolex models, including stainless steel GMT’s will be available RRP at AD’s and under retail at grey market dealers, just wait and you will see 😊
If the economies of major countries keep going into recession, very possible. Although don’t underestimate how much wealth there is in the world.
@@WestCoastAce27 the average customer of Rolex is a middle / upper middle class worker, those people no longer want to immobilize 10K $/€/£ into a piece of stainless steel, they now prefer keeping liquidity or invest the money, the only buyers who will remain in the market are watch enthousiasts like us and the majority of us can not afford multiple watches per year or even one watch priced over 10k$ every year and the last crazy prices increases make it even worse. This market is going to calm down for sure
I agree it’s not far off now with the majority of the catalogue available for retail or under. Only GMT Pepsi and a few other GMT models over retail and of course certain Daytona models. Maybe the odd OP also as Vinny mentioned in the video.
They will go out of fashion by that time. I’m pretty sure people will get Daytona and GMT fatigue by then. It’s nothing unique.
Always honest info.
Thanks Roger, happy Easter
Vinny great video! You didn’t mention the Celebration 41.
Ah yes the ‘paella vomit’ dial, really not a fan of the 41 version to be honest but it does still represent a big flip opportunity though is trading for much less than the discontinued tiffany now
deeply insightful information. hope the market returns to normal.
Thanks for your kind feedback and for watching!
Nice one Vinny. I've turned down a couple of AD offers this year, saying I didn't want them. I've only bought models I wanted in the past. There are a couple of Rolex still on the wish list but I'm looking at the grey market more and more as prices equalise. If I don't get what I want from the AD I feel confident I won't be overpaying by much if at all by years end. Rolex ADs are far from desperate but we're about 6/7 years on from seeing most models available in the window. That's the norm.
Insightful
Happy Easter Vinny, I wish you a day filled with overwhelming peace, and an eggs-tra special Easter Sunday. 🙏⌚️😎
very kind of you Gavin thank you, happy easter to you and your family too
@@vinnyfrancis No probably. Take care.
Problem that should say ! 😀
Hi vinny
I love your pass or flip video, which is a very honest, genuine opinion and very positive for enthusiastic people who like to watch and learn about what the current market value of certain models is selling for I will look forward to watching your next video keep up the positive content have a great positive week ahead best wishes
Thanks, will do!
Very very good video by Vinny !! Request mr vinney to make regular videos like this on weekly basis !!! Hats of to mr vinney 😊
What do you think of the new 1908? Spoke to my AD they say it’s very rare still
First time watching this channel, and yeah a good video I was fortunate to but a DJ 41, Wimbledon,fluted,jubilee at my ad from rrp, I love it and it’s a keeper!
Welcome aboard! and congrats on the DJ, i’ve had my choc rose dj41 for over 2 years now and it’s still stunning!
They offered me a murky blue date just with diamond indices.
I looked at him as if to say “am I a gangster “ ??
All I want is the blue baton dial not some near £11k monstrosity attracting ner do wells
ahahah that’s hilarious, yes i forgot to mention that you would lose even more on diamond plot dials too
What do you think of the sprite ?
Ive been offered a black submariner date from ad its alot of money for me and most likely will need to sell or exchange it one day will that hold its value? I dont follow price trends never really thought i would make the front of the waiting list
Question ; your focusing on brand new watches, but how about ones bought say a year ago and fully stickered; how do they fair vs current retail
great video, best of luck!❤️
Brilliant, fact and evidenced base work again. Vinny how to I get in contact with you?
Hi david thanks for your kind feedback, feel free to to message our instagram or live chat through our website which will reach me directly, just search for ‘best the waitlist’
Vinny, great video, but what about the Cermit/Starbucks? How come you didn’t cover that one?
Couldn’t cover them all in one video, will cover soon…definitely still a big flip opportunity
Thanks, Vinny! I appreciate it.
Hi I am new to your channel & I am impressed. Just a question what do you think about 128396 TBR? Does it hold its value and it’s got potential? My ID offers me, this Watch and guaranteed dependent face, Daytona stainless steel, do you think it’s a good deal it’s not worth it? Thank you very much but personally I really like that day date just couldn’t understand why the prize wise they adding the diamond bezel cost $50000 Australian dollars
Could tell "the Guiness" would be a pass months back with how quick it came on the secondary market 😂
Great video! Flip or pass is excellent!
Thanks! more to come
Call me crazy, I purchased my Gold Rolex last year as an award to myself for a life achievement. I cherish it and plan on keeping it forever, I didn’t buy it to flip. There must be something wrong with me.
Not at all that’s great and congrats! There are many however who are still buying to build a relationship so flipping watches they don’t want is an ongoing practice
There is a post on Trust Pilot saying Adam Lynch of Manchester Watch Hub has been arrested and bailed. Does anyone know if this is true.
would love more vid like this
no problem we will make more!
@@vinnyfrancis oh wow wasn’t expecting that my brotha. Much love and thank you so much for such brilliant content.
Looking forward to more videos like this
Wishing you well in all you do!
Fantastic intel. Holding out hope this is the yr I get the call on my grail - the Exp II Polar.
The ‘buy £100k to get the watch you want’ is amusing. No guarantees - AND it could be discontinued.
Got a cuppa and the biscuits at the ready!
enjoy mate!
I just bought the GMT rolesor. Pass or keep to sell later? 😅
A stunning watch. Keep it and enjoy it. 👍
Vinny, I would like to join a WhatsApp watch buying group to check on wholesale prices. Which one or two groups would you recommend, and how do I get into the group(s)?
124060 in the US market also pays sales tax so one would be in for ~$10k. Dealers may offer like $10.5k but definitely trending down.
What would a dealer pay for a Blue OP?
can you explain how the ADs get watches allocated.. i have hard time to believe that they dont know what they will receive and that they have to pay for that inventory
I do believe the watches they receive is random but predictable based on their past deliveries, all i know for here in the UK that some stores get a LOT MORE stock than others particularly Manchester Trafford Centre is in the top 3 in the UK for deliveries
even for those watches that are sitting at a loss, there aren't many watch brands at this price range than can still offer that percentage of the rrp being returned if you decide to get out of the watch. Imagine buying a two tone breitling at RRP and wanting to get out of it after a year of gently wearing 😮
Lol no dealer is offering you 15k for a Pepsi, what drugs are you on friend lol
is now a good time to buy an older pepsi model on secondary market?
Sure thing, in the UK these can be picked up as low as £9000 now, personally i would prefer early 2000’s reference which will be more, I also prefer original bezels, lots have service bezels or non genuine ones so look out for that
Sadly no mention of the Batman GMT - Really interested to see where that sits - Go on Vinny, what’s your opinion? 🤩
WatchCharts shows the prices starting back up. Probably BTC pump helping revive interest.
I wouldn’t buy a Batman unless I get one for 8500 and sell for 9500
Haha. I just bought the Wimbledon 41 smooth and oyster. I passed on the fluted and jubilee. I just don’t like the “sparkly” look. But it will stay with me and will left to my kid(s).
I'm collecting the two two fluted jubilee on Thursday, I'm a sucker for some bling but considering I hear the Wimbledon is a sought after dial it's only the steel fluted jubilee that is overlist, the rest are underlist. But anyway, buying for me to keep of course. Congrats on your new watch.
Is the no date Sub actually a pass ? That’s hard to believe.
retail prices have gone up so much
100% flip on the RLX YM is more than the 70% on the 36mm turquoise…
The Titanium YM is so boring/dull looking
Was offererd 8k for my space dweller last week 😂
That’s selling to grey dealers however grey dealers still charges well over retail which means don’t pass if yiu want the watch. Don’t buy it for investment or flip
Yes thats true, you may also get more selling privately.
The Pepsi manufacturing issues are true. Have you not seen all the ones cracked during service? The blue does not bind correctly with the red.
yet they’ve been manufacturing them since 2019? if it were such an issue why keep it running for 5 years
@@vinnyfrancisagain, rumours, but very few make the grade during the quality control process. It’s why they have changed the color 3 or 4 times since the relaunch. I know someone’s who’s cracked in warranty and he was given a different, less vibrant shade of blue. Look how that blue has got darker. Rolex have published a guide on the manufacturing process and how they are sintered. It is no coincidence that all the other GMTs are black - it is far easier to sinter once the primary color gets put on first. Just like when playing with paint- black covers anything. They have preserved because it’s the Pepsi - one of their icons.
The only new Rolex I actually want at the moment is a 124060. The rest are vintage or neo vintage. I really think the ADs have shot themselves in the foot long term with how they've treated customers over the last 4 years. Now that the flippers are leaving in droves and the economy has meant less people have the disposable income to buy luxury items like this, the naive loyalty that some showed to their ADs in hopes of getting certain watches is drying up. Rolex as a brand will always be top dog with the way they maintain their market position, but the days of people bending over backwards and paying ridiculous sums of money for fairly ordinary watches in comparison to what you could buy for equal money are well gone. Perhaps them buying Bucherer is because they foresaw this happening.
The crazy part is in America the prices are not the same as England the gmt 2 two tone at the AD is 16,500 and in the grey market there asking 21,000 to 22,000 so you can stilll make a few bucks on that watch here so I’m confused the watch market is crazy
Oh wow okay i’ve found that up to now the two uk and US markets are faulty similar, perhaps you haven’t had as many rapid retail increases as we have had much higher inflation?
@@vinnyfrancismany Americans (including myself) forget that you refer to prices in £, about 20% more than our $. Thus, hearing " it's about 10000, we think $. We need to take that and add $2000 to get the equivalent cost. No notable price differential, actually.
i'm dying for an airking (126900), and can't seem to get one from my AD. he's sold me a dj41 and root beer over the course of a year, but no airking in spite of waiting for more than a year. and i absolutely refuse to pay above rrp.
Ah a veryyyy underrated piece and much improved, we have one in stock brand new full set if you’re interested at under £7k, check out our website beatthewaitlist-watches.com
Great watch the Air King should be able quite easily to pick one up from the AD. Pop in regularly people who was on the list are turning watches down daily.
unfortunately i live in the united states@@vinnyfrancis
FLIP OR PASS???? What are you talking about? Rolex authorized dealers know what the watches are trading for in the secondary market and are keeping a profile and purchasing history for each customer and of course they are not going to sell watches that trade above Msrp to people without having a purchase history of supporting the brand and buying watches that trade below Msrp and flippers are going to be banned because of fear of losing the authorized dealership from Rolex suspecting they are in cahoots and being greedy with flippers!!!!!!
I would never sell my Rolex. I love my Rolex and I enjoy it. I wear it every day for good 10 to 15 hours. Thanks to my AD
I got offered 9.5k for a new Sub Non Date.
But the formula is pretty simple:
A) Is it popular?
B) Is it a steel sportswatch
C) is it a GMT
If it's yes to the first two, probably a flip, if it's yes to all 3, 100% flip.
Some exceptions are premium configs like DJ fluted jubilee with motif dial, or OP Celebration.
Golden rule, anything two tone or solid PM is not a flip. Simple.
from a uk dealer you got offered 10k? absolutely no chance mate when they’re selling for under that, not at all.
@@vinnyfrancis my bad it was for 9.5k, memory failing me. But on consignment. Watchfinder & Co
@@danielharris3180 Only on consignment ? How about outright purchase?
@@vinnyfrancis cheapest one on Chrono24 today from a UK dealer for a 2024 is 10750
where do you get those prices? show me one who will sell me new after buying from AD for less
LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THE VIDEO THESE ARE NOT SELLING PRICES THESE ARE WHAT DEALERS WOULD OFFER YOU AS A TRADE PRICE.
why would anyone sell it there, many sites where you can sell on your own
yeah, for the same or less😂
not true.
sorry who are you? do you work within the industry, if not then youre probably in no position to comment. If you want to deny facts then set up your own channel and spread that false information there@@zigadebenec8925
Rolex sales dropped 25% in China and 19% in HK. Asia market is still trying to hold and cook the prices. Totally senseless.
wow interesting
The market is finally returning to normal where people who actually want a watch may be able to eventually get the one they want.
yes, don’t be afraid to put your name down for anything you like now
@@vinnyfrancis Even for a Batman ?
You also have to include the taxes with the watch is originally purchased. That adds to the loss of a reseller offers retail.
£10k for a 2024 Root Beer steel & gold.
Watches are only worth what somebody is willing to pay just like everything else.
❤❤❤
Everyone a shyster and not a watch enthusiast.
The “entrepreneurs” have slipped out beyond the confines of the pub back room.
And of course the admiring comment from everyone you meet… “is it a fake?”
😂😂😂 that last sentence is sooo true
You forgot explorer?????
coming up on part 2 next week stay tuned!
Excellent Video. Good to see some sensibility coming back to the market and in fairness I see it continuing to drop through the floor. The financial markets are going to be seeing a monumental crash towards Q4 with investment portfolios collapsing thanks to the interest rate holding with the BOE. Smart money is moving away from luxury goods. We’re going to see a drop like no other this year.
Don’t think i would be quite this pessimistic, i think the outlook for the rest of the year is likely to be quite boring and stagnant
@@vinnyfrancisvery likely. There’s a ton of wealth in the world. Most of the people getting layoff/redundancy aren’t Rolex buyers. Short of WWIII sideways is most likely. And BTC is pumping so young men may sell some off to get the watch of their dreams.
Momentum can cut in both direction.
This channel is a killer.
