So are they raising the prices on specific models ?

You should expect around 7.5% on average and predictably perhaps more on the most desirable models.

Always smart to lock up your daughter before the slaughter.

Rolex pricing seems to be going wild! What used to be a few year increase seems to happen yearly now!!!!!

Rolex needs to go back to their old ways where stock was available and at decent prices.

Instagram and the internet are the driving force behind these non stop increases and this big bubble of "we don't have these in stock and waiting lists for everything unless you buy a few watches"

International Association of Grey Dealers (IAGD) has announced a concomitant (look it up) price increase of 20%.

No

High end luxury jewelry needs the price to rise to the level of the demand

I think of them more as a Witan or Witenaġemot now, an ancient saxon council that appointed kings/prices.

7.4% is the average!

Oxfordian · 20 December 2019, 01:25 AM

Not worried whether the rise is 7.4% or any figure above that, the fact that there is a price hike has just put two watches my wife and I were aiming for as big anniversary presents above the budget we had imposed, so no Rolex's for me in 2020.

Disappointed at the size of the increase as it is way above inflation rates in the UK and gutted that the watches we wanted won't be coming our way next year.

But as they say every cloud has a silver lining, there are other watch companies out there with some awesome watches, so guess that it is time to start searching. Now what do Omega, Glashutte, JLC, IWC and others have that might be of interest!

Exactly

There was no Tudor price increase in the US so maybe there won't be any Rolex increase...only time will tell.

Yes this may be true there are cheaper watches out there, but every time you look at that Omega etc on your wrist your heart will sink along with it's value.

I think IWC holds it’s value at a comparable way with classic Rolex, especially with the increase of warranty to 8 years.

Oxfordian · 21 December 2019, 06:33 AM

My AD (one of the many brands in WoS group) has told me today that the increase is 7.5% across the board, and it is effective ON 31st December
