Prices have increased 2-4 times from 2012-2015 to 2018. The price increase was especially steep in 2017-2018. The price of the hand-wound Daytona, which continues to rise in price, was adjusted from the winter of 2018 to 2019. Prices have settled down since peak times. If prices rise too suddenly, the supply from those wanting to sell will increase and exceed the demand from those wanting to buy. And the price goes down. but, There is demand for the lower price range, and the number of units sold gradually decreases. It is common for popular watches to go up in price again.
