Coke does cost a lot more, it used to be 25 cents out the vending machines in the 90s.

Don't you think is things go to hell around the world this year Rolex will send more and more stock to stable markets --- that should bring prices down in north America to reduce over stock ?? :)

What?! where? Not in the US.

I agree it has gone up but the funny part was not in the exaggerated sense he suggested. Unfortunately 25 cents in the 1990s is also not even close. Much closer to a buck in the 1990s.

I do not think its a smart move by PP, but then again I probably don't see what PP CEO sees I think they could have implement a discount structure at AD and let AD decide the amount of discount per popularity of model.

People who actually knows about price changes in this market segment, are the ones wearing a different grade of watch than Rolex.

Hopefully Rolex can drop prices like PP - then my bank account will really be in trouble having just picked up a PP:)

Oh and my magic mirror told me the price increase is going to be in Apr 1st. Very credible source since he also told me I was the fairest one in the land

I know AP prices certainly have shot up!! All the new pieces are up there. Probably not a bad thing to be sitting AP heavy at the moment:)

The Patek subject has just bombarded my text messages with friends in shock.
