Trading Takeaway
- Buy Signal: Omega Seamaster inventory remains scarce relative to 7 WTB leads; contemporary references at $2K price points offer quick turnover potential.
- Sell Alert: Rolex Datejust supply outpaces demand at current price levels—24.77x velocity suggests potential margin compression for dealers holding excess stock.
- Watch List: Cartier Tank reference 2384 shows explosive velocity (3.0x) with sustained price appreciation; consider sourcing inventory before trend saturates.
