Good on you lad, for proving the ''sceptics'' wrong!!!

JIMT8292 · 21 July 2017, 08:32 PM

Now I have given my dad's old bi metal date to my boy, bought my new Sub and am not planning another .... I hope the UK prices go up 50% :)

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.

Yes, instead you did the whole Basil Fawlty on Mastermind thing - What's your specialist subject? The bleedin' obvious!

That's a great collection you have, I have a very similar box too, and sounds like you can take a joke so welcome aboard!

Well done Steve great collection, and great reply to the doubters , I have also heard the prices are going up

WhiskeyNovember · 22 July 2017, 03:20 AM

Evening gentlemen. Thanks for the kind comments today. Made a lovely change from last nights unruly bunch! I feel the love. Price rise 5-10% this Tuesday/Wednesday. Rolex holding back deliveries and AD not taking deposits. Now off to consider my next purchase whilst devouring vinegar soaked fish and chips out of old newspaper - this is how we celebrate Fridays in the land of pits, flat caps and cotton mills. Washed down by our traditional local ale - Coors Light. Cheers.

This thread is one hell of a way to introduce yourself to the forum! Congratulations on your new pickups, and welcome to TRF.

....looks like you're a GMT man (as am I) so you must be a good guy, even if you're from north of Watford!

Your prediction has slipped a bit.

48 hours, Sir. Next time I shall endeavour to be more accurate. One is disappointed in ones self for such sloppy, inaccurate predicting.

Wempe on New Bond Street (London) had an AK and SS GMT II in the window this evening and sold an LV to my mate yesterday. Strange that they haven't held these back in anticipation of the imminent price increase. I guess we will find out on Tuesday/Wednesday.

The people at store level will be the last to know.

But surely the store would get some advanced notice so they can update their systems and price lists?

The general manager might know. The sales director or regional manager will know. Not price rise related but when I worked at Apple everyone knew everything before us.

Exactly my point. You would think the regional manager or sales director would hold those pieces back in the knowledge that they could be sold for a greater premium and margin in a few days time.

The OP will get the BLNR (to be along with his WG and YG GMTs) in a few weeks, which may encourage you to bring your BLNR back!

No wonder Rolex are not releasing the new Skydweller until 1st September in UK

Shaky · 22 July 2017, 07:06 AM

What was the last increase, was it roughly 10% ?? I know some went up more than others

Yay.

If they do go up it will be known as the Therese May price rise..... We arrived into the UK the day after the election to a 3c improvement in the A$ vs pound. A lovely holiday bonus for us. By the way converting prices the UK was under global price. My Black Bay Bronze was a bargain and cheaper than France.

Pity you can't but any Daytona's, Subs, GMT's etc in the UK otherwise it would be a fun time to shop!!!!!!!

harvey · 22 July 2017, 03:14 PM

I hope it's closer to 10%.
