Ha well I actually meant the opposite. Maybe part of the reason the retail price is less in the UK is because it’s actually cheaper in terms of what it costs Rolex to get the product to the end consumer here. Of course even if that was the case you’d expect Rolex to take advantage of that and try and make the end consumer cost as close as possible to somewhere it costs them more to sell their products.

Ie they make more profit by selling the same watch for the same equivalent RRP in certain countries.
