Any ideas on pricing of the new models?

[wgs]

Assuming there will be an increase, but do you guys have any idea of the new list prices for the Sub and Explorer?

All I know is that due to the green gold dial the new LV should be more expensive than the new SS Sub-C. I expect the new SS Sub-C to be priced around US$7000-$7300.

If that is the case, would that mean a price rise for the GMTIIc?

GMTC II MSRP is $7,000 today...

By the time the SS Sub gets in stores (3-6 mos??) I would expect $7,500 MINIMUM. More likely closer to $8000 and NO DISCOUNTS as these will be constrained for some time to come.

Waiting lists, etc. Can anyone say, SS Daytona???

[robbonds]

true - no discounts for atleast 6 months...In a year or so you will get them for 20% off from grey dealers...sub will be mass produced - every ad will have several...wont be the same as SS daytona

Right...the sub constraint problem will be temporary...but constrained product flow for up to 18 months. Man, that's a long time!

I would suspect a retail of $7,050.00 USD. The price difference between the 18k and ss GMT IIc and the 18k and ss SUBc is only $50.00 USD. The LV SUBc I would guess would retail $7,450.00. Typically about $400 USD more for the LV.

Most definitely yes. It's "time" for a price increase anyway, so moving GMT IIC up by 5 to 10 percent is expected. The Sub-C should match the GMT IIC price by then, and the LV should be even higher by a couple of hundred bucks.

The 116610LV is described in the press release as having a "green gold" dial material. I would expect the difference between the 116610 (Sub) and the new LV (116610LV) could be more than the usual $400.

Does Rolex wait for the new models to come out in the stores (3-6 months?)before increasing the price of existing models?
