Wristler’s Recap: August 2026

Last time, it was July’s recap and I wrote that July was pretty slow, and August was starting out pretty slow as well. I have to admit: August was crazy. We even doubled, so I’ll have to take back what I wrote. We’re so grateful for all your support, and we’ve got some pretty amazing watches ready for you in this recap from August 2026. Enjoy!

Overall trends in August 2026

One of the main trends we’ve seen is the complete craziness when it comes to Rolex Daytona’s. The Baby LeMans, full gold, two-tone with diamonds, the reversed Panda and Panda, we’ve sold so many different configurations of the Daytona last month. And prices have been skyrocketing as well, since a Panda Daytona now sells for roughly €34.000 compared to €31.000 just two months ago. Same goes for another watch we’re highlighting in this recap, with a crazy price increase. We already knew that waiting would cost some money, but is it getting out of hand now?

Our Top-5 of favorite watches sold in August

As you know, we’re highlighting some of the watches sold through Wristler within the month. Even though the start of August was extremely slow, you guys knew where to find us and decided to pull the trigger on your dream watch. Alright, let’s get to it!

Dieci Giorni

So, the first one is a crazy one. We’ve sold some limited Panerai’s last month, and this is the one we decided to highlight. Especially due to the story behind it: this customer from Spain reached out to us, as he found out about us, and wanted to do a first transaction as a test. So, he pulled the trigger on this 10-day limited Panerai. Awesome piece! This customer will be back in this Recap as well.. for now: enjoy, Mr R! Appreciate your trust.

Gold IWC

So, the customer from the Panerai above trusted us enough, and decided it was time for two more watches to add to his (crazy) collection. He bought a steel IWC, but also this gold IWC Portuguese Automatic with some serious discount compared to retail. And I mean, how crazy that the customer bought his first watch through Wristler a couple of days earlier, and we’re counting 4 orders now. Thanks again, Mr R!

A Two-Tone Datejust 41

We’re very blessed to sell loads of Datejust 41’s. So usually, we don’t put them in our Wristler Recap due to numbers and since there’s so many more to be found out. But, the reason we’re putting this one in our Recap is the fact that prices have skyrocketed. We sold this DJ41 Diamond for €20.290. For which you can also get your hands on a full gold (neo) vintage Day-Date. What’s happening to pricing? As always, thanks for your trust, Mr. T!

Full gold Daytona Diamond

As mentioned above, we’ve sold many configurations of the Daytona last month. But this is probably our favorite due to the diamonds, black dial and full gold case and bracelet. Such a stunner! A new customer from Italy trusted us enough to transfer a serious amount to our Escrow, getting his hands on this amazing Daytona. Thanks, Mr. A!

Big Bang

We’ve mentioned it before in previous recaps, and will do again, we don’t sell that many Hublot watches. But when we sell one, it’s a crazy piece. Limited to 200 pieces, this Big Bang Mbappe in white ceramic is a stunner. Bought by a new customer from Germany, this is some serious grail material. Congrats Mr D!

Looking back and forward

So, I will probably never write down that we’re slowing down in sales. Or other KPI’s. We totally crushed the numbers last month with an average spend of over €9.000 on our marketplace, resulting in doubling YoY-growth.I can’t be thankful enough for all of you.
