Prices going up

[Chadridv]

I seem to remember a wave of these threads about 2 years ago right? I mean one always pops up now and again, but wasn’t it about two years ago there was like 6-10 going simultaneously?

Anyway, i feel like this is a cyclical topic and I’d me curious to know if, after big clusters of these price threads occur the prices did actually go up.

Its your lucky day.

When the Sub date was $8000 MSRP in the first half of 2012, I was considering buying a Sub. In May or June 2012, the week before the price increase to $8550, the AD said that prices were going up the following week. I locked in at the current MSRP - 9% discount. I don't even think I actually paid for the watch and took possession of it until after the price increase. This was an AD with whom there was an established relationship.

The US is one of the most expensive markets in the world to buy a Rolex. A price increase would just increase price disparity. This would further stimulate the grey market.

Price increases don't stimulate the grey market.

AD's do........

Everything goes up, except boats.

Congrats on the DBlue.

Rolex always raises their prices, it's just a matter of when

I am O.K. With that because he would stick to the deal he promised me when I go pick up my D-Blue on Saturday! Merry Christmas to me!!

You must not frequent TRF often....

BINGO! Especially as the British Pound Sterling / Euro further devaluate... ECB has a crazy scheme (thx Mario) for their economy and Brexit just muddles along.

Well...the only logical choice is it must be true then. Surely there is no other explanation?

[ALF61]

More BS. I know that there was a meeting in the Caribbean recently hosted by Rolex and no such information was disclosed. No price increases on the horizon yet.

Just wondering, in the event of a sudden price increase (like for real), can the current stock be sold at the previous price?
