I've read a about prices increasing on a lot of blogs posted.
Do you think February is going to be the increase. If so are you buying anything on 1/31/12?

CPAWatchFan · 31 January 2012, 11:55 AM

I'm in the middle on this. I'm thinking it's true. People have said ADs have stopped receiving shipments.

Mickey® · 31 January 2012, 12:18 PM

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!

iaymnu · 31 January 2012, 12:55 PM

Don't think prices ever dropped right?

wokafu · 31 January 2012, 01:27 PM

Hard to tell. Rolex increased prices 2x in Asia in 2011 and I thought they'd increase again on Dec 1....but no increases yet. I think April 2012 is more a certainty.

liptonnr · 31 January 2012, 01:50 PM

I am 90% sure prices are not going up in February! I am just guessing; no inside information!

MortgageGuy · 31 January 2012, 02:18 PM

I would agree there is an increase in the near horizon but whether it is in February/March/April... only Rolex knows. Either way it would not surprise me as I am sure it is already in the works

Agreed!!!

Isn't it a given certainty in life?

karmatp · 31 January 2012, 11:25 PM

When do they get to a price point that they are not worth the money????

I am thinking that they are already there. No way is a SS sport watch is worth $9000, no way.

By by tool watch, hello preppy jewelery.

I spent $6400 out the door for my Sub C, that is my max for a mass produced, assembly line watch.

We haven't heard anything from Rolex, I'm hoping the UK might dodge a bullet

dpkong · 1 February 2012, 02:44 AM

wouldn't stop us buying even if they did raise prices right? but it does make the AP models more attractive

gwozhog · 1 February 2012, 03:27 AM

Makes the dream that much harder with every increase.

Lion · 1 February 2012, 03:31 AM

I'm not sure Rolex will raises prices tomorrow but I would imagine there will be an increase this year.....sometime!!!

thomaskho · 1 February 2012, 03:51 AM

Increase for sure every year, act fast save $$$.

Dr. Robert · 1 February 2012, 03:53 AM

3 things guaranteed in this life.......death, taxes & Rolex price increases.

DJJon · 1 February 2012, 12:35 PM

I was at an AD in Pennsylvania at 5:00 pm today who had not yet gotten any word of price increase. Given the last one took effect 15-Oct-11 he thinks we're OK until March but admittted it's anybody's guess. (Got the new Exploration Perpetual Spirit Book/Magazine - AWESOME!)

Dam how long ago did you get your sub.. I will have $6400 in a couple of weeks but I am thinking I will need at least 7k

Trevor, this is unfortunately the way it is with all watches... Rolex, Panerai, Patek... and on and on... I agree it seems to be a bit on the high side however if people are willing to pay and guess what they are it will continue.

To your question what is enough? I wish I knew... At this rate we will be over 10k in no time for a SS Sub, we shall see what happens.

For me, I love Rolex and will continue to buy regardless but I will just complain more

It all depends on a lot of variables, some of which are outside the control of Rolex.

I do not believe that Rolex raises prices arbitrarily. Increased costs, demand, supply, and currency values all contribute to their decisions.

I think that given the history of price increases that Rolex will probably raise prices in the Spring, but I have to say that it is not written in stone, based on the information that is readily available on the internet.

To distill the answer to it's bare essentials, no one knows.

liuk3 · 1 February 2012, 03:33 PM

I know that it's a shot in the dark, but anyone out there have in a graph or table of the historical price increases and date of price increases in the U.S.?

2009 10400 11.8%
2010 11250 8.2%
2011 12200 8.4%

year model 16610 or replacement change %
RRP
2003 3950
2004 4250 7.6%

Click on a blue date to see a web page from the past and click on a model to see the price on that date.
