I just had an email from watch finder saying that Rolex and Cartier are planning a 10% increase this year + plus the uk VAT rate

here's the email "We hear Rolex and Cartier are amongst those putting up retail prices by around 10% on January 1st. With that and the VAT increase coming into effect on the same day you’re going to have to be quick to avoid these heartless price hikes"

can anyone shed any light on this (i know VAT is going up), or is it a ploy to get some people to watch finder?

Same here. Got my 50th birthday (which is in Feb) gift already at the end of Nov. It's also waiting in its gift wrapped package tucked away of my sight.

Didn't know about any price increases at the time and the AD didn't mention any but they had a nice promotion of giving a hefty gift check from the largest department store here until the end of Nov. and I didn't want to miss that.
