A genuinely broad rally: the Pulse Index climbed +1.49% to 100.45 and the average watch gained +2.34% to 101.90, its best weekly close in over a month. The move was led by a sharp Tuesday (Sep 1) session — the busiest of the week — and held up through midweek before cooling into the weekend. Breadth confirmed the strength: 11 of 14 watches gained against just 3 decliners, a clean sweep rather than a narrow, concentrated move. The GMT/Submariner complex did most of the lifting, while a pair of discontinued-execution GMTs lagged behind their current-production siblings.
| Watch | 7-day | Read |
|---|---|---|
| Explorer II (226570) | +25.0% | Sharp bid this week, though on a lighter sample than the rest of the basket — treat the size of the move with some caution |
| Submariner Hulk (116610LV) | +12.1% | Green ceramic sport models continuing to firm |
| GMT-Master II Batman (126710BLNR) | +9.4% | Current-production GMT leading the complex higher |
| Submariner Date (126610LN) | +8.8% | Core no-date-adjacent Sub joining the broader move |
| Datejust 41 Fluted (126334) | +7.5% | Entry-tier demand recovering after last week's cooldown |
| Submariner Date (prev gen, 116610LN) | −1.6% | Roughly flat, a pause rather than a reversal |
| GMT-Master II Pepsi (126710BLRO) | −4.5% | Giving back some ground even as its Batman sibling rallied |
| GMT Batman (prev gen, 116710BLNR) | −6.5% | Discontinued execution lagging the current-production model by a wide margin this week |
Confirmed sales averaged 168/day this week, modestly below the 185 baseline, but the week's shape was anything but flat. Tuesday (Sep 1) was the standout session by a wide margin — 258 confirmed sales and $4.55M in dollar flow, the busiest day in weeks — and the market stayed active at 180–191 sales/day through Wednesday and Thursday. Activity eased steadily into the weekend, with Sunday (Sep 6) closing the week at just 108 confirmed sales and $1.78M, the quietest session. Dollar flow averaged $2.87M/day across the seven days, and total flow for the week ran roughly $20.1M — comfortably ahead of the prior week despite the softer weekend close.
