UK AD just confirmed Eurozone RRPs up 7%
And no change in the UK at this point.
Apparently dealer margins in both have reduced, too. Haywood Milton |

A UK AD this afternoon, 30th January 2015. I'm afraid that is as much as I will be saying about the source.

Happy it's true now ?
7% will usually mean some models up by a bit more than that and some a bit less; it will be the average. Interesting that the UK RRPs have not moved ( yet....... ). The GBP is currently about 10% off what it was against the Swiss Franc, but GB ADs have been having a rotten time in the face of a flood of grey market watches from Europe in recent times, so perhaps this move is designed to allow them a little fairer competition.

Chaps
I would not panic. The price of Rolex in terms of the euro is irrelevant to us, our concern is the exchange rate of the Swiss Franc to the Pound. The Swiss pulled away from the euro on Jan 13th and the rate was 1.55 Francs to the Pound. The next day it crashed to 1.27 Francs to the Pound which would send the cost of Rolex up by at least 18%. However since the crash, the Pound has gained every day and is now trading at 1.38 and is still on an upward swing. When a currencies pulls out of a locking mechanism, this always happens.

UK AD network have had their price from Rolex increased by 3% although I'd the AD pays in 30 day it gets 1% back. So the good news to UK buyers through UK AD remains the same. It will make the importing from an EU source that bit harder to do if you sell pre-owned unworn as many UK non official dealers do. UK AD network bearing the hit on the currency adjustment it seems but discounts made harder due to the margin being reduced further yet again. I don't see a UK price rise for now at least. My source showed me the correspondence from Rolex HQ...... Of course existing paid for UK stock still bought at the previous price will be attractive vs new UK stock now bought by the AD.
