Icon8 I hate these threads but here goes. Uk price rise Nov 5TH ?

Hello everyone firstly please let me apologise I firstly hate normally reading these threads so i can't believe I am actually writing one. But here goes another forum is strongly hinting that Rolex is going to increase prices in the UK as of November 5th.
Just wondering if anyone has got any firm info one way or the other.

Since we're very close to Nov 5th, I'm sure Chris will be able to provide 100% certain info on this.

I spoke to my AD yesterday and he said that the indications were that there would be an increase by the end of November. No way to confirm this though so we will just have to wait and see.

It's only a rumour until there's confirmation, and there has been nothing from Rolex. I doubt they'd do it at such short notice

FWW. I was told the same by the manager off WOS and dumb enough to repeat it and even on a forum

But after I spoke to the MD of my AD he said I quote it has been put back to the new year as the Accounts Manager he deals with at Rolex UK also had said in General the Dealers arent performing and all need to raise there game as in the memo was like a kick up the arse.

What he also said was He purchased extra stock so he will be well placed when the rise does come through but is positive it wont be till the new year.Funny he said he now needs a inventory off 80 pieces again what Rolex have told him would be the correct level for his store.

He said the Rolex account is so valuable to him he needs to keep them happy .Also he is up 8% on last year even after factoring price increases .

Sounds like a typical goldsmiths ploy to sell a watch
