As mentioned in a previous post, I had just purchased a GMT IIC yesterday, and my AD did inform me that Rolex was going to increase the prices by 10% April 1st. Now, I can't be too sure that this is true, or whether this is just a tactic by the AD's to get you to purchase the watch *now*. However, it makes sense. The Canadian dollar has been suffering a bit, and Rolex wants to keep the prices roughly the same worldwide.

I guess we will only really find out next week for sure.

Good luck with your decision...I'm loving the GMT IIC right now...it's just one day *young*!

The fact that Rolex hasn't increased prices in Canada since May 2006 which now makes Canada the cheapest country to buy a Rolex right now would make it a safe bet that prices are going up April 1st.

I ran into my AD while going for a coffee at the local Tim Horton and she told me she could get me a SDDS sometime in the next couple of months at a 10% discount. I showed her that I already had the SDDS on my wrist. I then asked her, "I heard that prices are going up April 1st". She nodded and said yes they were. I asked her what the increase would be. She said 10%. Which means April 1st the best deal I could get from her was paying March 31 MSRP!

I managed a little discount on my SDDS when I bought it, so in the end, I was better off buying now than later from her.

I read 20% across the board!

Yume-sama · 27 March 2009, 12:00 PM

It is 100% confirmed to be a 10% price increase on April 1st, all across Canada, effecting all models immediately.

As reported by me on Feb. 15th

Some AD are conveniently "closing" to "take inventory" in the days before April 1st.
