Green sub 116610 lv uk grey prices gone up

Just wondering any one know why the sudden increase of grey prices from £7600 ish now hitting £9500? in the UK

dealers are still taking deliveries, limited stock and supply is still the same as it has been, but the last 2 months the grey prices gone crazy or should i say greedy prices?

or do they know something we dont?

Demand is outstripping supply faster than a big fast thing. It’s not exactly news, my friend. Oh, and Christmas is around the corner

This moved up first as rumours of its discontinuation started in Aug, then other models also moved up sharply as Rolex admitted supply would be limited for next few months... like we didn't know, ha!

You can put any price tag on any product you want, the question is do they sell at those prices ?

Soon it'll hit over 10k and lo and behold someone will stump up that 3.5k premium.....baffles me. But then again some people have the money so good luck to them. I can't say much as the wife is constantly monitoring my spending now since I haven't bought her anything to celebrate my new incoming in Jan!!! Boxing Day shopping awaits and my credit card is already sweating in my pocket! Let's hope she doesn't ask for a LVc!!!! HAHA
