Okay I know it was a rough day yesterday for many here.

No one likes to hear about another Rolex price increase--but it came and now we deal with it.

So who bought what yesterday before the increase??

dr3ziz · 1 June 2012, 09:22 PM

i bought 2 a few days back Paul ,, not planning on any acquisitions soon

superdog · 1 June 2012, 09:55 PM

i bought an explorer 1 39mm. i was at my AD within an hour of learning of the increase.

S`` · 1 June 2012, 09:58 PM

did you buy any Paul?

That's my question for you!

Got 3--will be here later today...nothing that I do not already have.

LN, LV, GMTIIc--longer term 'gifts' for the wife (or corp gifts), but get them now.

Will post pics once received.

I picked up a new 116610V last week when I saw it in the showcase at an AD in Michigan.
The owner of the store offered me a small discount.
With today's $500 price increase, it makes that deal a little better.

McLovin · 1 June 2012, 10:36 PM

My AD is a few blocks from my office -- it didn't take me long to get there after hearing about the increase. My 116613LN should be delivered soon! Rolex really knows how to make us jump...

jz112896 · 1 June 2012, 10:50 PM

i bought a ss daytona 2weeks ago in NY.

jz112896 · 1 June 2012, 10:50 PM

right now i m considering to sell it. LOL

jimbones43 · 1 June 2012, 11:08 PM

No I am content with my one...

SirGrotius · 1 June 2012, 11:37 PM

Considered it, but having just picked up my Polar Exp II (42 MM) last week I thought it'd be a little too rash. Plus, I'm torn between a black and green sub.

azguy · 1 June 2012, 11:42 PM

I snagged a 116610LV as an early Father's Day gift.

Great buy

A.J.R. · 2 June 2012, 12:35 AM

I would have but the market hasn't been kind as of late.

jay1988 · 2 June 2012, 12:56 AM

Todays price increase is tomorrows old price. In two years the price you could get today will be a bargain.

dmb4lfe · 2 June 2012, 01:11 AM

Not me, but that is because I bought a 116613 last week. I got a great deal last week, which turned out to be an even better deal after the price bump.

gilv · 2 June 2012, 01:25 AM

I did not buy yesterday but picked up a GV and LV last week. After hearing from 3 ADs about June price increase, I took a chance when the right watches and deals were available. Glad I did!

gwalker · 2 June 2012, 01:40 AM

I purchased an AP before the Rolex price increase. Does that count????

SennaFan · 2 June 2012, 04:09 AM

I am going to buy a Sub from one of the re-sellers on here before they jack their prices up on us. Because it would hurt their business to jack up what they already have posted.

Mickey® · 2 June 2012, 04:18 AM

No way would I buy Anything just because of a price increase...
Either I want it or I don't and if I want it (Rolex or anything else) I've already bought it.

Pvtrolexcollector · 2 June 2012, 07:46 AM

Thinking about another Daytona.. Will call the reseller over the weekend and see how far I can get.

bmac11c · 2 June 2012, 10:21 AM

I just picked up a used GMT 16710 today and I should have it on my doorstep tomorrow. My first Rollie was new and I swore that I would never buy new again.

tictocChuck · 2 June 2012, 10:49 AM

Rolex Price Increase Rumors, fact or fiction, are always good for their sales as people rush to buy at full retail. I've done it with one of mine. So it goes. Since I became a Rolex fan I must've seen 5 or 6 increases and they never go down, never! On the bright side, it does enhance the future value of your purchase on the resale market should the need arise. Cheers

orangejuicy · 2 June 2012, 10:55 AM

Picked up a Hulk from LawrenceB yesterday. Woohoo!

Highland Ranger · 2 June 2012, 10:59 AM

How much was the increase?

CharlieSF · 2 June 2012, 11:55 AM

Bought a new GMTIIC from an AD two weeks ago.

Glidelock · 2 June 2012, 12:36 PM

I bought today, but my relationship got me yesterday's price! Pics soon!

EE33 · 2 June 2012, 01:17 PM

In negotiations as we speak. Didn't see the sudden price rise coming.
