Very nice collection.
Not that you particularly need it but I hope the price changes get some inventory rolling into the ADs for you folks across the pond.

You'll all be saying how well I called it by weekend :-))
Well, you and a dozen other guys who also called it as imminent. The problem with awesome inside sources is that they don't look different from educated guesses when something is really likely to happen.

OP, that picture response was too good


However, is another Yachtmaster in the future plans now? 2 Subs, 2 Daytona, 2 GMT and only 1 Yachty. Haha.

UK Price increase imminent

Beautiful collection OP! And I like your fun personality too. You can take a beating or two online and keep your cool. Please post more. Love to see more pics of your watches.

Edit: Went back and looked at your collection again. Loving it. The YM2 in my favorite color combo. And of course the BLRO.

Noticed you don't have a blue dial watch.
Perhaps a 116619 or better yet 116618 with sunburst dial would fit right in here.

If true, IMO its not a "price rise" and just a correction to make prices on par with the rest of the world as currently they are way too low. I would welcome it as it would help with the supply issues that have been happening for far too long.

All I can see are three empty spaces in that watch box.

If there is a price increase this weekend your entrance will be legendary.

Hey guys, I know this is probably just a silly thing BUT 2 days ago the price for the Sub date, which I've got on order with the AD was 6200 pounds on the Rolex website and now it's 6250?.....same with the GMT and explorer they've gone up by £50, I very doubt that is the price hike but what could be the reason for that???

Oh okay maybe I'm wrong then because my AD quoted me 6200 and that's what I've paid.....

Cheers Faz :-)) I completely agree about a blue dial watch missing! The new 326934 Sky Dweller blue dial will be complimenting my collection very soon (my contact said)! In the meantime I am very tempted to scratch the itch (maybe today) with the Bluesy 116613LB as a two tone with YG is also missing and as we know, the OCD must be kept in check!!

PS. BLNR will be filling the final slot in 4 weeks and sliding into my collection alongside its WG and YG GMT Master-II siblings.

How about selling the older white dial Daytona and getting the blue dial WG Daytona?

I thank you.


Morning, any idea on %?
