Rolex price increase 2014.

[Rolex57]

A couple of weeks ago I read on the tele-type screen in the elevator going up to my office that luxury watchmakers were expecting a rather prosperous year for watch sales in 2014.

My next door neighbor's cousin's best friend's little sister knows a guy who works with a guy whose frat brother's step-mom's first husband's uncle knows a guy who used to have a roommate that worked for an AD - back in the 90's. And according to him, it's true. There is a price increase in the pipeline for 2014.

It doesn't get any more reliable than that. It really doesn't.

I can also confirm that I've been told the same from the other side of the country.
5% increase from 1st Feb.

Don't worry guys. It's only for Australia, because our prices are so much lower than other countries and it wasn't fair.

I was told the same thing .... Maybe it's just in a Canada

Obviously at some point they will go up, so eventually one of these threads will be correct and the OP of that thread will look like a genius.

Very well said

I can see a price increase in Canada. The price difference is too much now because of the falling CAD. I was as one AD and they were quoting me CAD7300 out the door for a SubC date cash deal. That is USD6550 for a BNIB 116610!

I have been told that no notice is given to the AD's. It just happens and they must remark the current inventory.

Given the track record of those who enjoy posting rumors and lies in this forum their guess will be no better than that of a "weather"man

I was told by customer service person at rolex service centre kent , uk .
the hulk will not be made soon.
This remark was made by her , when talking about 2 other models, not even subs.
it was said ,,, as ,,,,oh , did you know the all green sub will cease production.
I said no.................I do have this sub and you don't seem to meet many people , who wear / have this model.

ANY WAY we will see ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,april's just a few months away,

And replace it with what ?

This would make no sense as the Hulk is still in demand at my local Ad they have a small list for them.

You pulling our leg???

[accce]

What proof do they have?

Now that's great!!!

I love reliability and credible info - thanks for the tip...

[Cc1966]

Probably the best response from an AD: My friend, the manager at my local retailer, when asked about price increase says, "who knows..."

[IAN1]

Believe it when i see it.

Didn't happen, it's a sales tactic. Prices will increase eventually, but they would not tell a sales rep when and how much it would be before it happens.

I heard the same thing in SF...they said I had a week to decide

So when the AD tells me that the prices are increasing next week and I should buy whatever they have because it's the last one in stock, they're lying to me? I never would have guessed.

And when the triclops comes out so will you, mate. And I heard from my brother in law's uncle's dog that this is indeed coming out soon.

[stockae92]

What if every single Rolex AD in the world decided that they will all raise the price for 5% all together at the same time, without Rolex HQ agreement?

Have you thought about that? huh?

:p

Could very well be true, I heard a rumour they have electricity now in Kent and everything...

[Vivalas]

I love the way Rolex always tell 1 random AD and a couple of street vendors :-)

Good news is though, I asked my pet cat when I for home from work if it was true and he meowed . . . . . . . TWICE!! I'm taking that as a no!

[Bangel]

If you think that's good, I can go one better!

I read a post on the Internet from this guy whose .....
