Well, exactly- they could stamp out a couple of hundred thousand GMT if they wanted to, but it’d torpedo the narrative that the fake scarcity has created, and the secondary/flipping market that helps support the initial purchase decision.
It’s identical to how Porsche have treated the GT car market- one chap recently bought the new 935 for £850,000 and immediately flipped it for £2,000,000 - he had (theoretically) pissed off Porsche, but he’s got £1,250,000 to console himself.
Buy a GMT and you can wear it for six months and then sell it for what, double what you paid?
