Market Drivers — June 2026
1. Submariner 126610LN rising on tight supply
- Riviera Group AD waitlist remains 12–18 months for new allocation
- Pre-owned supply -8% QoQ as loyal sellers hold longer
- Demand from Gen Y/Z "first Rolex" Bangkok buyers steady
2. Daytona declining steadily
- Daytona production increased 2024–2025, driving pre-owned supply higher
- Peak 2022 ฿2.3M down to ฿1.58M (-31%)
- Expected to stabilize at ฿1.45M–฿1.55M in Q3–Q4 2026
3. Yacht-Master rose gold falling hardest
- Rose gold sport demand declining across Asia — collectors pivot to steel or white gold
- Premium over melt value compressed to 49% (from 78% in 2022)
- Should stabilize when premium hits 30% — recyclers begin remarketing as scrap
4. OP candy colors past peak
- OP turquoise, coral, yellow down 38–45% from 2023 peak
- Stabilization depends on whether Rolex maintains new allocation — indicators suggest discontinuation in 2027
5. Explorer 36 regaining popularity
- Collectors pursue "vintage-sized sport" — Explorer 36 fits
- Tight Thai AD allocation drives deep pre-owned demand
- Expected to appreciate 4–6% over 12 months
