A possible further Uk increase could be on hold due to a strengthening pound.
Will rolex operate on a wait and see policy or simply ignore the situation.
Could it be that they will now wait until the autumn to see if prices even out further.
Your comments widely appreciated.

Only Rolex knows, but I sincerely hope they do hold fire. The price increases have been ridiculous, and they're pricing themselves out of the market as far as I'm concerned.

It would certainly make sense to put it on hold. With todays exchange rate, the DeepSea for example, is the same price in the UK as it is in neighbouring European countries. If they put the UK prices up we'd be among the most expensive in the world.

I had the same hope when I was looking at the fx charts.
I doubt it will stop a salesperson saying that a price rise is immenient and you should buy now!

It's ok, Rolex will hold off until the pound catches up again, then they will put a price rise across the whole of Europe
