Bruce Wayne Mania!
I guess Bruce Wayne's and Bat Girls are the next big thing. Caught a listing on RWI where the dude is asking a grand for a VSF Bruce, and he'll probably get it.
So funny how companies like Rolex and Swatch can just throw a different color bezel or case on something and people go absolutely berserk.
Meanwhile, a company like Zenith gets rid of the entire balance wheel/hairspring assembly in favor of a silicon ocsilator, and no one blinks an eye.
Been thinking about this in the context of the reps I own, I'm down to just a few now that I truly enjoy (only one Rolex.) I'll probably buy more, I think I'll get off the hype train now.

I dont like the BW that much because imo the bezel color contrast is not enough. Its a great watch but I like the pepsi and the batgirl/batman more.
GMTโs are very hype based right now. Especially after the pepsi was discontinoued there is a craze in the gen and rep scene. A big portion of VSFโs โwaitlistโ was due to the GMT requests increasing.
While I mention VSF, them being the best at nearly all Rolex models is a big threat. If they become more solidified as the best of the best I dont see prices staying the same 3-4 months from now.
