Market Velocity

Tudor's Black Bay 79360N delivers 17.66/month at $5,814—exceptional value momentum. Rolex's GMT-Master II 126710BLNR ($17,658) and Submariner variants sustain 14-15 sales/month, establishing these as the market's true workhorses.

Trading Takeaway

• Buy: Rolex sports tools (Submariner, GMT-Master II) remain liquidity engines; allocate inventory here despite high velocity suggesting adequate supply.
• Sell: Franck Muller Vanguard and Omega Speedmaster momentum creates exit opportunities—price appreciation suggests peak sentiment for these references.
• Watch: Cartier Tank's exceptional velocity (3.0/month) signals undervalued dresswear demand; monitor for inventory gaps.
