I know that dude

I was at bhindi jewelers in glendale, ca over the weekend and they did mention a price increase sometime in march for what it's worth.

captkevin · 30 January 2014, 07:20 AM

I have never been in AD where the sales person didn't say there was price increase coming. According Mayors there was going to be about 4 increases last year.

This would make no sense as the Hulk is still in demand at my local Ad they have a small list for them.

You pulling our leg???

I was only writing ,, what I was told. there was no reason for her to mention this ,, it was just friendly chat.

Firstly, we all know that Rolex don't tell anyone anything. Secondly, we know AD's use this as a sales tactic, and who can blame them. Thirdly, who cares about 5%.

So you must of only gone there about 4 times last year!

aeon888 · 30 January 2014, 10:42 AM

I love price increase rumors! This is how I manage to convince my wife that I really need to buy a brand new Sub before the coming price increase. Hehehe it worked! This is even after i just bought me a custom 1911 that cost me 5k. another way to justify another Rolex purchase asap. Lol

What kind of 1911? A buddy of mine just got a really nice one (not 5k though) and I can't wait to try it out and see if that'll be my next purchase!

Read the rules boys^

up2nogood · 30 January 2014, 01:12 PM

Most outside the US won't know what they're talking about. Still, it's against the rules so better put a lid on it.

R3mmzy · 30 January 2014, 01:25 PM

I was actually told that effective Feb 1, 2014 AD's have had their margins reduced by a few % to reduce discounts on the timepieces, but that there is no price increases scheduled for q1 or q2 2014.

Nidal · 30 January 2014, 01:42 PM

with my humble experience, my AD knew about it a few weeks before it happened and were right on the sopt. That is not a big secret like the BAselworld

Chaching · 30 January 2014, 01:50 PM

QueueCumber · 30 January 2014, 01:54 PM

I have all the Rolex pieces I want for the foreseeable future. Bring on the price hike!

They already did that last year. Lowered dealer cost from list price less 40% to 37.5% and no more extra 2% for paying in full within 30 days.

Agree. Wise man. Thumbs up
Only Rolex decides based on sales and left over stock numbers

Over stock doesn't exist in the Rolex economy, besides the super exotic sugar / PT models. Almost all the rest is moved into grey, in any given country it works that way due to the ambitious sales targets given by Geneva headquarters.

Paid for my Daytona today which is hopefully the last piece in my Rolex collection so I will not be losing any sleep over any potential price rises!!

applebook · 14 February 2014, 05:28 AM

Interesting that most of the cars that I looked at 10 years ago are around the same prices now with their current models.

At this rate, will a steel Sub-C cost more than a 3-Series in 20 years?
