Members mocking Rolex increase ?

[Edfrozen]

Has anyone noticed what the dollar buys now compared to three years ago five years ago ,10 years ago ,20 years ago? Paper currency to has lost much value and continue to do so.

Almost everything I buy has gone up in price dramatically

Maybe its just inflation

The reverse is much worse (deflation )

Thoughts?

[Fleetlord]

Won't be a factor for many buyers of Rolex.

[Obi Wan]

All fiat currencies, especially the dollar and the euro, will disappear at some point. Everything has gone up in price dramatically, as you say, because the central banks are printing money without any kind of control in order to pay the massive public debt.

We will return to the gold standard sooner or later because the debt of the vast majority of the developed countries are absolutely impossible to be paid and the paper money will end up being worthless. Till then, prices will rocket to the moon, Rolex and everything else.

The 2025 Rolex price increase of the PM watches will be “cheap” in the future…

What’s inflation?

Right? I used to buy a loaf of bread for 25 cents

Don't really understand what you mean by 'mocking' though? I believe no one wants to pay more for the same product. Thats just stupid. However, if the watch has gone up in price but it is still something that I want then I am still going to buy it if the situation permits.

Waiting for your economics class on fiat currencies, decline of purchasing power, etc…

But we all know i have no class. I defer to others who are far wiser. What did you hear?

No one is "mocking" the price increase. It was expected as everything is going up.

[codecow]

I mock the price increase and laugh in its face!

I remember when gas was 29.9 cents per gallon.

Thank you, I think maybe this year I will pick up a PM SD and when presented with the bill I will laugh at it and say, “that’s it?”

Two tacos at Jack in the Box are still 99 cents like they were when I was in college in the 90’s. I don’t what the hell all the complaining is about.

I could be wrong but I believe inflation is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.

I remember Ethyl!

And the year I graduated high school a pack of smokes was under a buck! Marlboro Reds and Camel Filters….the sulphur in the smoke of the match and the crackle of the first drag. I’m surprised I got old enough to reminisce, quite frankly.

I keep all my money in bolivars.

Rolex had 2 price increases in 2024, I’m okay with 1 per year. But they do it because they can and people will pay it.

I think? This will only hurt the small Ads, it will be harder for them to sell the PM pieces. I’ve been waiting for 2 PM pieces and now I will think about it? I just don’t see a 14% increase being worth it? Way too much.

Let’s how long it will take for the discounts to come back?

Cheers,

I agree it’s just getting out of hand - 2 increases this year and a massive increase for the new year

I remember ounces of good Mexican weed for $10
Acapulco gold, Jamaican & Colombian weed for $20 an ounce.
Ah the good old days.
Oh yeah I paid under US$360 for my 1655 in 1973 in Hong Kong (no sales tax!)

Yeah, I’m pretty sure everyone noticed this.

Well, maybe not everyone. Lots of folks with high paying jobs in the media seemed to be oblivious of it.

People who have discretionary $ to buy a precious metal Rolex can afford a 14% increase.

The S&P500 is up 26% this year.

What is the grey market premium % over 2024 msrp on pm Daytona's ?

Thank goodness for that. Same with the NASDAQ. Last I checked, it was up over 30% for the year.
