Is it just me or....

.... have the Rolex prices increased in the last year?

Last time I checked you could easily get pre-owned DJ around £1700-2100 and Sub No-date around £3400-3700.
I just recently started checking again and they seem to have gone up in price by a few hundred at least ..with all models!

Price rise of 10-11% in the UK was Nov' 2016, you missed it. I did not. :) (I bought an unworn 116613LB from a grey and saved over £1500 compared to the new price 48hrs later).

My guess is it has to do indirectly as GBP has depreciated. Or Rolex punishes the Brits for exiting

the swiss are neutral, so no punishment

they actually did the brits a solid as the swiss franc VS GBP change was more than the "price rise". I use the term price rise very loosely as it was more of a currency adjustment as Rolex isn't making any more money off of UK watch sales than they were before. Rolex waited far longer than the other brands to adjust, i think Reichmont adjusted their prices within the first few weeks of the vote and AP has adjusted prices twice since.
