Rolex will also now be pricing in guineas in the UK. It had to happen.

Robbyman · 21 September 2018, 06:09 AM

Rolex prices are generally too low for what you get in my opinion. They could increase 10, 15 or even 20 and I don’t think it would make much difference right now.

A 20% hike would certainly kill off all those that want one just because its a Rolex!

I was in Koln last week and the prices there are very high in comparison...5% wont stop anyone though.

So look up how much a pound of sterling silver 'costs', and that's how much a British pound should be worth.

Know Thy Currency History!

So if your currency had real value, actual value, then it might one day be called money. But now, all you have is a currency.

If they had a 20% increase but you could actually buy SS models everybody would be happy

Yes but that’s not what they want. If models became abundantly available, interest drops!! It’s human psychology my friend!
People “hoed” at time of shortage and spend at time of ease! So they still have the carrot and we are still following. The minute they feed the carrot people won’t follow!!

Fisi · 21 September 2018, 08:53 AM

Anyone heard whether this is only SS Sports or the whole range?

yippie123 · 21 September 2018, 09:02 AM

There was a 3% increased on Rolex, 6% on AP and 5% on PP early of the month in Malaysia.

GBD · 21 September 2018, 11:23 AM

Is a price increase on vaporware still a price increase?

RolexNorth · 21 September 2018, 12:11 PM

They could raise the price 10%, it wouldn't matter, no one has anything to sell!!!!!!

Did they happen to mention in what year it would happen?

I look forward to Rolex lowering prices once the Pound increases strength.

Really? Then why are all Datejusts and PM sports watches sold at a discount?

There are only a relatively few number of SS Rolex professional models that could sustain an increase like that with no loss of demand.

Why are all the Sub, GMT and Daytona sold out?

Jacobson · 21 September 2018, 04:59 PM

I don’t see the sense in a 5% price correction when the price difference between the UK & and the Euro zone is more like 11%.

But none of that matters if one is after a Professional model.

All this really does is give the grays a new price point to raise their existing stock to.

Men’s DJs and now even a lot of PM models are no longer being discounted in the UK.

Agree, certainly around here

Hendrikus · 21 September 2018, 08:13 PM

Picked up a new GMT at my AD today (posted elsewhere) and, having read this thread this morning, I asked about it. They said they were unaware of any imminent price rises and certainly not been told of anything that is happening on 1 October.

RolexUK · 21 September 2018, 08:31 PM

Me:Runs to my nearest AD to secure the watch I want before the price rise
Remembers that I didn't join the wait list 2 years ago
Slowly walks home

Vetracer · 21 September 2018, 08:34 PM

AD’s and Greys are collectively trying to boost demand before Christmas / Holidays.

Let’s all rush out and buy now before the prices go up...

Sandhu1986 · 21 September 2018, 10:37 PM

I picked up my GMT LN yesterday from an AD in Kent, and they also mentioned that Rolex are increasing prices by 5% on 1st Oct. Will wait and see in a week!

rolex obviously could care less about their customers or ads. Such a bs charitable organization.

How about a 10% drop in Exp II's?

jay_kay · 22 September 2018, 12:40 AM

The increase in the UK has been a long time coming. 5% is a fairly small increase if you ask me. There could very likely be another not far down the road.

You have a good AD there... most would keep and let you know its arrived on the 2nd October!!!

Art 1 · 22 September 2018, 12:45 AM

I really can't blame Rolex for raising prices, it would be bad business not to. But it would be nice if they had some merchandise to sell and to raise the price on.
