Rolex price increase due early October?

[elise73]

So my AD tells me on Saturday to expect an c.7% rise on all models in next 7-10 days......what do you think, any truth or salesman chat? Anyone else been told the same?

[aeropilot]

Yes, I've seen someone who works at a UK AD post in a watch forum that an increase is due in a few weeks..... not sure how much though, it was rumoured that it could be as much 10%.....

[Wozza]

I have an ad in the classifieds offering 10% off any new Rolex purchase.

I've got an insurance card and would prefer to get cash out of it. No takers as yet - I'll be happy to take 15% off list now for any watch purchase between £3,000 - £10,000

So if you're about to buy a new Rolex - give me a call!!!

Cheers

I just can't get over how many price rises Rolex have gone through over the last couple of years.

Looking at what I paid 3yrs ago, some watches are almost 50% more and I know I paid 25%+ more than a couple of years before...

So, could then have doubled in the last 5 years or so? Mental!

EFA.

Supply... and demand... I wish I had Rolex's brand strength that meant that if I spread a rumour I was about to raise prices, my sales would increase before a specific date. Awesome.

Now if that rolls down to used ones, I will be about £2k better off over night

Well, you'll never find a Sub for under £2k so inflated RRP does help used prices.

PS I'm selling my P reg Golf for £11000. Current RRP is £14800 so save yourself £3800 on the price of a new one. Lots of patina and serviced regularly.

No. Rang up asking for a ceramic GMT, they said they had one but it was promised to another. The bloke then said "tell you what, I've got a ceramix sub in the safe. How about that?"


Lucky lucky boy.

Why? I saw a ceramic sub in the window of an AD the other day, they aren't exactly gold dust.

That must be rare though surely? I have spoken to 3 AD's and they all say they have between 8-10 people on their lists and eta 18-24 months wait. I've been talking to dealers in Sussex and Leeds.

And that's why they are confident with regular price increases.

Local AD here had one in the window too. Ugly MoFo IMHO. Looks like they copied the design from Seiko.
