Hi guys i have just had a call from my AD saying that my TT submariner with black face and ceramic bezel should arrive in 2 weeks, now i am getting a good good discount and he never mentiond anything about a price increase. I.E the agreed price is what i pay, Has anybody heard anything yet in the UK. Plus i have been offered a stainless steel submariner ceramic off the same AD in a few days if i whant it, Hmm decisions decisions. wot would you do...........

Personally I would go with the SS Sub, but it really depends on what your after from the watch....

If not have both :)

SS for me too... I keep trying to love the TT/Full Gold however they never get any wrist time... Just flipped my TT blue ceramic sub and getting a SS ceramic sub. Hope that helps.

Also the SS hold their value dramatically better than the TT

Good luck

If you can get the same percentage discount on the SS SUB as you're getting on the TT, JUMP on the SS.

No price rise as of the moment, I wouldn't be surprised if there was one in January though

dardeca · 9 September 2010, 01:27 AM

I'd go SS SubC...but that is just me.

rangrov · 9 September 2010, 01:34 AM

I have had loads of ss subs over the years, nice watch but everybody has one, ive got a deepsea ceramic an 18ct all gold blue ceramic sub and a pink gold day date with meteorite and diamond dial, i have just sold my 8 yr old TT blue sub that is why i am replaceing it with the new TT ceramic with the black face and ceramic bezel. The new blue just didnt do it for me. As for the new stainless steel sub with ceramic bezel, its a good watch but i dont think i need that and a deepsea as well................

How about the LV ceramic sub...bit different to the SS subs you've had in the past?

Chipmunk · 9 September 2010, 03:10 AM

No price increase........wohooo

Go with the TT SubC Black and don't ever look back.

rangrov · 9 September 2010, 03:58 AM

The LV Sub just does not do it for me, sorry guys but the green on a stainless steel sub, Nnooo. personally i think rolex came up with the green bezel with a black dial just for a joke and a marketing ploy to see how many they could sell by saying it was a ltd edition, they made thousands, if they had just made 1000 world wide then OK.

rangrov · 9 September 2010, 04:00 AM

Sorry just read the last thread again, i still dont like the all green sub tho, stainless and black works, anything else mmnn.

chris russell · 9 September 2010, 04:12 AM

I could be wrong.

My AD said an increase at his store on the 15th of September, and he knows I'm not going to be buying again for a while.

Who really knows.

There's been a price rise throughout Europe, as well as the impending US one - the UK seems to have avoided it for the time being

Ah, good! I hope it doesn't get you all yet. However, my AD also said Rolex was going for a universal price, so that people wouldn't buy cheaper in one country, travel back to theirs, sell and make a profit.

That's right, although it never quite works in practice - too many currency fluctuations really. I don't think we've completely escaped - we're just fortunate that the pound has gained some strength, but I think when we get a VAT increase on January 1st, Rolex will be upping their prices too

Puffy · 9 September 2010, 05:12 AM

i reckon the UK is due an increase very very soon - it is by far the cheapest place on the planet to buy at the moment (esp if you travel through an airport and can pick up ex VAT)!

the sterling is under some serious pressure and a major correction is already happening in which case Rolex would need to raise prices.

snap up while you can
