Just don't tip Rolex or the ADs off as to your intentions and leave the current pricing structure to the rest of us who choose to pay the recommended price through the ADs/Boutiques when buying new. |

I'm glad I bought when I did. No big discount but 5mos. Ago got 7% off SubC and just got 9% off a Zblue. I think a price increase is just around the corner this year.

Having a price increase is going to do nothing except give grays even more reason to sell at inflated prices.
Especially if supply stays this low. |

End of the day we can all speculate till the cows come home. Only rolex knows what the plan is. Not us. So we either wait them out or look elsewhere, something tells me a lot of us will be waiting lol.
They know their market, loyal customers who have owned rolexes for years, decades even. Those people know the quality and heritage so they’ll wait and buy @ MRSP. I agree with Neil, we need a price rise in the UK sooner rather later.

The currency adjustment was in response to Brexit, a once in a lifetime event, so fair enough, they won't adjust on a yearly basis otherwise, so currency doesn't figure for me. My issue is if you won't raise prices when the market price is consistently so much higher, for nearly 2 years now, then let the market behave as it is and let it be free. But instead of manipulating supply or prices they are choosing to manipulate buyers with all these rules on who can buy and how, and naturally that has caused a lot of resentment with genuine customers who are now being judged and dismissed and treated shabbily, and this is supposed to be a luxury product. Not cool at all, and too invasive. They should handle their own end, not try to handle ours.

I’m not getting the point Of this thread!!
If they have a very high profit margin already, and with world economy, it would be risky business if they hike prices. And remember their sakes numbers a couple of years ago!!

ive been saying this forever. The train companies employees go on strike and shut the city down for days because they are mad about who's job its going to be to close the train doors. Yet Rolex customers are not picketing outside Rolex HQ for far more legitimate concerns

When picketing in the UK, must one form a queue outside said establishment?
