In the secondary luxury watch market (Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe), profit is made on the buy.

The 3-Pillar Horological Monitoring Stack
Pillar 1: Strict Sub-Variant Separation

Pillar 2: Tokyo / Osaka Yen Spreads (sellerCountry: "JP")
Japanese dealers hold the deepest inventory of Full-Set Rolexes globally. Running the Japan Yen Arbitrage Task at Tokyo market close highlights JPY-denominated listings trading 8%–12% below US/EU wholesale ask.
