However keep in mind that we see a price increase thread EVERY month.

Elmie · 18 March 2013, 06:45 AM

Has anyone heard any updates on when the price increase will occur?

The Joker · 18 March 2013, 06:50 AM

sooooon, very very sooon.

MovieGuy · 18 March 2013, 07:14 AM

There will be no price increase.

We can only hope this is correct.

Jsan20 · 18 March 2013, 08:02 AM

I highly doubt they would do an across the board hike. There is less increase on models that don't sell.

rohardi · 18 March 2013, 08:14 AM

I think it's Rolex that posts all of the "price increase' threads. They must have an account or two on here lol. That way we all panic and go buy the next watch on our list before the rumored "price increase"...

Roller07 · 18 March 2013, 08:48 AM

There is a 50% chance for a Rolex price increase, just like it is everyday. I hope this helps.

Chaching · 18 March 2013, 08:50 AM

Must be the end of March?

Lion · 18 March 2013, 08:56 AM

It will probably correspond with "March Madness" here in the States!!!

Take it easy.....Leo

Rolex will increase their prices, but you still can't wear your Sub in the shower!

You mean every week. I'm right now as you read going to be the first to say that after this months price increase there will be another price increase soon. Also there will be another increase that follows the increase after the increase and increase again. You heard it first from me. I called it.

Thatguy · 18 March 2013, 09:21 AM

Someone will predict it correctly one of these days with the number of new threads on this.

What percentage discount were people getting on subs back then.

I'd be very surprised if it doesn't come in March. It's been mentioned way too many times on this forum from members from all over the world. I once read on this very forum that Rolex AD's only got news of the price increase a few days in advance but have been hearing March since mid December.

If it doesn't come in March then I'm never opening a price increase thread again unless it says "official" or something on those lines.

Wanna bet you open it again.

I think I paid $3,100 for my stainless Sub Date from and AD in '00.

Olav16710 · 18 March 2013, 09:48 PM

I paid 2800.00 for my GMT Master II in 96.

Xk500 · 18 March 2013, 09:59 PM

YAY price hike now I can say I got a 5%+8% discount on my Daytona cuz I am soo awesome and my bargening exceeds your whildest imagination.

Also my watch now is worth 8% more.

DJJon · 19 March 2013, 06:19 AM

8% should be justified. Did the price of SS or any of the Precious Metals go up 8% ?

If Stainless Steel costs $4.00/lb (and it's not that expensive) and there is about 0.25 lbs of steel in a watch - the steel cost is about $1.00 I think Rolex price is determined by what the market will pay - not by cost.

superdog · 27 March 2013, 09:48 AM

I hate to be the dick, but I hope so.

It'd mean an even better deal for my latest acquisition.
