Granted, PP are rare as their production lines are less automated and parts are all assembled by hand. Rollies are mass-produced. Their rarity now is deliberate.
Rolex also assembled by hand.
But definitely more automated.
It's not deliberate but rather their line quite huge.
And the world only know rolex as luxury watch.
Everyone from.top to bottom wants a rolex.
Also AD Don't receive alot of sports rolex. So they keep only for the vvip. They do have stocks but all kept in safe.
There are definitely more rolex AD than PP AD.
So the stocks to go around also lesser.
PP - not accessible to normal folks like us.
The price hike is a joke but those with the cash don't mind it.
