Yeah, 5% across the board as had been discussed here in recent weeks, rounded up or down to nearest £50.

This one I have my eye on was 'only' £21050 yesterday.

(OP didn't say it was an Incoming but perhaps Soarer thought that's what the post was about)

Hopefully it will help keep them theivin' foreigners from buying our UK stock with their dollars and euros and yen and rmb. But with the new pricing and today's fx rates it is still cheaper to buy in UK at today's price than in Europe (assuming you have a credit card with no currency loading).

The price includes UK tax which you could recover if you were not UK/EU resident.

Oh definitely. I am definitely stopped by a 5% increase to great deal. Now then - which ad has this inventory of which you speak? :p

So maybe now rolexs will start magically showing back up in your local AD. I mean there’s no point increasing prices on products that don’t exist, can’t be gotton or don’t have to sell right?

They'll just come to Australia. That BLNR is roughly 6260 pounds here, and we have a 10% GST that travellers can claim

Jokes on them though because stock is just as laughable as the UK.

my AD in London who gets me pretty hard to get stuff has had 1... yes 1, since launch. I just don't get it

SS i get, but its a PM watch and Rolex should welcome PM purchases, so that one is less of crazy demand and really just no supply (in some places at least)
