Would not doubt these numbers. I remember years ago talking to my AD in Tampa, FL. They were getting Rolex watches at 43% off retail. So basically Rolex would get roughtly 57% which would have to cover material, designing, machinery, production, marketing and so forth..

Also I think it is an interesting point that maybe now we have a reason why ARF and Noob never really gave us the perfect submariner - getting close but not perfect, fixing mistakes while creating new ones. Time after time.
You have to think Chinese factories manufacturing counterfeit goods might have had some guidelines or like rules of thumb for getting close but not too close.
Many factories have been in court many many times for everything from movies to automobiles. And they have won in court quite a bit.
These are all just initial possible thoughts guesses and assumptions right now anyway though.

I agree with your observations, one cannot take the costs of materials as the true indicator of a product's retail price. The paid price of brand building, marketing, quality control are massive for a brand like Rolex. Whether they deserve to be placed on a pedestal, it's simply up to the customers. Their ability to evolve while staying true to heritage is a conscious decision from Day One. For many, owning a Rolex is something they would do to reward themselves for what they consider as working hard towards their dreams.

Got to talk with a chinese friend and send me this:
vs厂这两天会出货一次，有需要的可以下单，量少，之后不知道什么时候再出
vs factory will be shipped once in these two days, you can order if you need, the amount is small, after that I do not know when to come out again
Basically he send that and that all pams, omegas and rolex models can be delivered in these two days.

What is not clear? Vsf will ship some watches if you order in the next two days. Pam's, Omega's and some rolex models. After that my friend says he doesn't know when they will ship watches again. If you want some models ask your td if he can gets it.

What's the background of your friend? Is he a TD or an active seller? None of the active Chinese sellers I know have posted anything indicative of such a development with VSF. I have more than 10 China-based sellers on WeChat.

Active and big seller. I wouldn't be surprised if some dealers/sellers will just try to build stock and sell it for a higher price.

Andrew is saying currently unclear when VSF will ship anything. I wouldn’t tie any funds up in an order right now.

C Master not sure if this post is useful to the community. New member, since a few hours, tries to offer some backdoor deals… not saying that something is wrong but probably worth looking at it.
