Price increase

Does anyone know of when Rolex intend to increase their prices? I just bought a GMT 2 ceramic and I'm sure the retailer told me June, but not sure.

The oldest saleman tactic in the book! At least you got a fabulous watch.

Any time you go into an AD.
I went into two ADs this year since I bought my TT SUbC and each time there was a price increase slated for the following month.

Hey if you like the watch...enjoy it....b/c I'm sure sometime this year they will go up.

...But typically ...there will be a post on here TRF a couple days before they actually go up...most of the time.....we can find that info here before the AD knows. So when they say next month...they are full of it.

At least 5% per year is a minimun increase.

I don't care as long as they don't go down! Didn't buy for an investment but it helps to know the residual value stays something like. Great watch.

While the increases over past 10 years have averaged about 10% annualized, not all models get annual increases and over time some rise more than others.

No salestron is far wrong saying another price increase could be around the corner unless that very model was hiked in past 6 months. This way you won't complain if it's higher MSRP when you come back to buy.

Yes, there will be a price increase. In fact, there will be several.
When? Now that's another story.
