I've been told by a Canadian Ad it will likely happen in February. Last year, the prices went up in March (in Canada) by appx 5-8%

Does anyone know if there will be a price increase in the UAE?

I called Rolex Dubai mall, they said they have no information. I called Rolex mall of Emirates, they yes there will be an increase in February but don't know when.

I wouldn't say sterling is weak against the euro whatsoever- maybe weak compared to 2 months ago but it's not weak

Now sterling vs dollar is another story

Sterling has weakened generally in the last few months which is why there will be no increase, I did not really mean v the euro but it has come off.

The big thing here is the grey market in the uk and this has been hit already with grey dealers upping their prices significantly.

The BLNR is now £500 over list at one UK grey dealer.

All countries using euros will get the price increase.

Netherland new price list was published last week already, but Rolex web site there doesn't show them.

I agree on not happening here in the states. As far as a decrease, I'll have to check the weather in hell first. Not sure if they are expecting a blizzard.

A price increase is not a worry in the US for the foreseeable future. The dollar is too strong, IMHO.

Several of us have posted over the past few weeks that our ADs advised that they expected a price increase in March, in the 8% to 12% range. My AD in Calgary advised me 2 weeks ago of their expectation. It's not confirmed of course, and for whatever it's worth coming from an AD... but several have reported the same story being told.

During mid-Jan there was lots of speculation regarding an upcoming increase on Feb 1st.
I was due to buy my watch on beginning of Feb in Hong Kong. Got to HK and the prices were exactly the same. No increase in prices in HK
