I actually do welcome the increases though as long as I am not planning a purchase in the short term because since the products are unchanged when an increase happens, it actually makes my timepieces appreciate in price. It is about the only thing other than decades worth of time that can make a Rolex increase in value.
If rolex announced the price increase a month in advance, people would take that as a buying opportunity and bought in bulk the popular model like sports model. So regular people like us who would just buy for our own would never get the piece that is popular and end up with the new price. Moreover, i think AD would rather sell with new price.
