Uk price increase-letter to AD's...

Have seen the letter sent out to dealers from rolex ref:uk price increase. Rolex state that although they've increased the price yet again that they have only had one actual manufacturer increase in 3yrs and the rest have been brought on by the weakness of sterling in worldwide markets. They also state that the uk remains one of the cheapest places to purchase a rolex watch...makes you think as things are another increase will happen before the year is out...!

Rolex haven't increased their manufacturer costs in three years ergo there are no yearly price increases, just currency fluctuations to allow for.
