Spend a lil' more (90k+), and you get a Panda

I can't help but think that these days are (slowly) coming to an end for Rolex. My business partner wanted a Seadweller 43 and after going around and around with the various shops in town, finally said to hell with it and went out and bought an Omega Planet Ocean and a Panerai in one shot for about the same price, both at a relatively decent discount over MSRP. These days I think it doesn't take nearly what it used to buy a stainless steel Sub for example - maybe can't get one at MSRP from the dealer, but can buy one on the secondary market for MSRP now in new condition at
months old.
I just really get the sense it's slowing, which doesn't mean done, but slowing... I'd personally be a little nervous going out and spending over MSRP on a new Rolex as I think that's going to turn out to be a poor investment sooner rather than later.
But that's just me and I kinda think most Rolexes are underwhelming looking anyways so what do I know haha
