If that's true I hope it's just for the new models. Rolex have control over the price people can sell the older ones for too. If they're all getting pricier in April it's time to get that Yachtmaster I want!!! AAahhh!!!

They seem to think that it could be possible as this would then bring the current models in line with the new Explorer ll price. Thus putting the Explorer ll back in its price pecking order.

Don't really know, but we hear this rumor every year after Baselworld..

I suppose that's because it's about the time that they send new price-lists out that include the new releases.......

What or who do we have to sacrifice to the watch gods to stop these price increases?
The regular WIS guy is going to get killed w/ these prices!!!!!
It has to be a big sacrifice to the watch gods.......I'm volunteering both my ex-wives.

Surely a sacrifice only has power if the devotion has SOME value!?

Haven't heard anything yet, they normally give at least a week's notice. I know that Omega is going up 10% in April, maybe he got his brands mixed up

Omega already had one price increase this year, are they raising AGAIN?

Note that these are price rises in the UK, folks. We operate on a different pricing structure to Rolex USA and Europe
