From the Robb Report yesterday.

On Wednesday, Morgan Stanley published a report that shows Rolex raked in 10.1 billion Swiss francs ($11.5 billion) for the first time in 2023. It achieved the historic amount as its retail market share grew by just over 30 percent due to ongoing demand from well-heeled clients. The billion-dollar total represents an 11 percent gain from 2022, according to the bank analysts and Swiss firm LuxeConsult calling Rolex’s current market share “unprecedented.”

Not bad for a charitable trust. 🙄 Relax, Rolex fans. I concede that they make good watches.

They made a smart move in selling all those Invicta knockoffs

Edit: And Cartier outsold Omega? I never gave their market position a thought, but this did surprise me

Years ago a company I worked for put us through a weeklong finance boot camp where we had to run our own simulated firms. Most were of us were done or in deep trouble by Wednesday. Lessons: 1) cash flow is king. 2) Don't over invest in plant and equipment.

Rolex knows what they are doing. Before long they will satisfy most demand and they will have watches available.

I still don’t understand how a company puts out over one million watches a year but has these crazy waitlists.

Never underestimate the Cellini market in Asia. Lol

Don't count on it. I agree that Rolex knows what they're doing. I just don't like what they're doing.
