It will be interesting to see how a (for example) 10% price increase (31% x wholesale x 50% retailer absorption, divided by retail for a DJ) influences decisions.
For many Rolexes (those with short or no waits), a buyer may consider the likelihood of the tariff being rescinded.
So, $1k on a $9-$10k watch that you can potentially save by deferring your purchase.
Hmmm, almost as though this same logic will apply across many higher price / durable and luxury purchases.
I don’t think most people fully comprehend implications.
