Thanks for the info Chris

I think the Millies didn't increase because it's a new model and they are still testing the waters. They are not the easiest to come by and an increase in price would probably make potential buyers look at other models. So either way it's a win-win for Rolex, IMO.

This would be a great starter Rolex collection!

I think around $89,500 and no tax will be more like it....

I think you just made some members have a heart attack when they realized that they did have all those Rolexes! Hay mucho dinero amigo.

I'm so happy I bought my Sub before the increase.

What was the old GMT Master II price?

Sure am glad I got my m serial GMT IIc last march for $5800. Now all I need is a submariner dated 1972.

I missed that price increase. GMT's were harder to get back then.

Isn't the used price for a GMT C around $5800? You Rolex just outperformed the S&P 500 over the last 18 months.
