Apparently this has been imminent for quite some time now, (Shout out to Wigan Steve)

I know what you mean, something systemic seems to have happened between the UK and Geneva. A 5% rise doesn't seem enough to turn things around but I hope it is.

Just managed to get an anniversary sea dweller before the increase! The last deep sea blue I purchased came in a few days after the last increase!But on the positive side it ensures value in your existing Rolex!

Just got an Anniversary Sea Dweller in time! Missed out by a few days last increase on a Deep Sea Blue! On the positive it ensures value in existing Rolex Pro Models!

You say that they currently charge 5% over RRP as a minimum. This is not true. They charge over RRP only on those models hardest to find. On most other models they already offer between 8 and 20% discount.

I agree I picked up a New Sub 116613LB on the Grey Market in May 2016 for 7,800 British Pounds a considerable savings & in April of this year I picked up a New Daytona 116503 for 11,210 British Pounds from the same dealer in the UK another great saving. As there are no Grey Dealers in Dublin Ireland I took the Plane to the UK on both occasions to pick the Watches up in person. I reckon I saved about 3,500 to 4,000 Euros even taking the conversion rate & flights into account
