Hi guys,

Just last week, Rolex HQ in Melbourne (Australia) hiked up their prices. We here in NZ have been affected by a 6% hike which is like an additional $600 on every $10,000 watch.

Sh!t....which means my Exp-II which had a list price of NZ$7,080 has now gone up to NZ$7505....

Oh woe is me......

Welcome to the rest of our lives JJ, this has been a multi times a year deal for us the last few.

Probably still there with a bit of arm-twisting on my part...and less of cleavage ogling!!

Nah, too late, we were all set to go down there, but with this price hike I am gonna have to boycott now.

Thats because they now have to pay there home workers more wages
and poor Rolex is starting to feel the pinch.But Jo-public will still pay
for our Rolex addiction.

Damn. I had just finished packing my bags and was about to head out to Dulles to catch the next United flight to Aukland when I read this thread. So much for the savings there. No point in spending a couple of grand to get there to only save a few pennies. And when I got there, I'd probably have to put up with this bald Kiwi. That alone is enough to make me cancel the trip.
