So has the bubble burst or gotten larger? My head is spinning like the girl in The Exorcist.

Everything getting more expensive is not indicative of a bubble bursting.

Is that a flat 7.5% across all models, or the different % for the sport/non sport mentioned previously (UK Market)?

I can confirm that there will be Rolex and Tudor price increase from Jan 1st in the UK.

This was mentioned to me by my AD. However, I did not ask about the percentage as he really was not meant to disclose the price increase in the first place.

A price increase on unobtainable watches reminds me of that old Soviet joke: "So long as the bosses pretend to pay us, we will pretend to work."

I can see the Rolex increase but as you say Tudor went up 5% early November on top of circa 2% in April......surely not again?

Fascinating times. It'd be interesting if the Pound weakens.
