Will this company reverse the prices on the new product now that the price of platinum has eroded beyond 50% and gold down 25%?
I precarious position at best for Rolex...can they afford to gouge their best clients who tend to grasp financial realities a little better than most.

The actual amount of gold in a 'gold' Rolex is negligible compared to the price, so I don't think so.

well say they sell 3/4 the amount of Platinum and gold rolexes (at the same prices ) compared to last year then they are making about 8-9% more profit

Platinum down 50% ???

harvey · 24 October 2008, 06:12 AM

when platinum and gold prices go down, it is just more profits for them.. not price cut for us.. NEVER

No - they do not adjust their prices up and down - just up, which is good for all of us. Rolex is one of the safest investments you can make. I would think less of them if they lowered prices.

won't affect pricing. on a diff note, if the economy keeps tanking, i think rolex will maintain their current pricing and just cut down production. the secondary market (used), however, will take a big hit.
