No! Why go looking for trouble?

If you want to buy a watch before the increase, I say go ahead and buy it now! You'll enjoy the watch for x months before the inevitable price increase comes into play, instead of worrying about when it will happen.

I don't know and truly only Rolex knows for sure.

They actually already had one at the beginning of this year. Although the MSRP did not change, they reduced the ADs price margin by %5. This also has the effect of a price hike as well.

If I were you and you really wanted to buy before the next one, then I would buy as soon as possible, as this is always the best plan as prices always go up, and never down.

There's always a price increase around the corner.

The best time to buy is always now.

You won't know until it happens. But I personally don't see another one until the new models are released.

Yes there will be a 35%-45% decrease in Rolex prices across the whole range but my crystal ball at the moment is not working well.

According to my crystal ball there will be no price increase at all this year in Rolex prices.

Next year all bets are off.

any possibility for a price decrease? perhaps maybe a new customer royal program where we can get discount based upon how many rolex we purchased in the past/own?

LOL

Sure. The more you buy the bigger your discount will get. Lol. I see no chance of a decrease ever.

If a 5 or 10% MSRP increase keeps you out of the Rolex you want then you really "aren't Rolex material".

I don't expect to see one in the Fall, but if history is any guide, Rolex could go a year or more before we see a price increase.

We're so accustomed to seeing bi-annual increases that we expect them, but in the history of Rolex, they are not the norm.

At least that's my impression.
