Looks like there has been an AP price rise

Well certainly here in London. For example I bought this for £27000 not more than a few days ago......

Not sure if its a UK only rise but might well be given the current woes of the Pound.

Anyway thought would bring it to peoples attention.

A few AD prewarned about it last month, I do believe the 15202st increased a few weeks back but this one appears to be across the board!

Hardly surprising

Rolex will go up too now



The 15202 is AWESOME tho... Fair play

Rolex prices in the UK must be the cheapest in the world.

However not so different with AP.

And one of the hardest places to buy due to high demand and attractive prices to non UK residents.

No change for US prices. Zero FG as the 44 CE is glued to the wrist for now anyways

Yes but once you equalise for taxes, then it’s still marginally cheaper in the U.K.

But the difference is small. With Rolex the differences globally are really quite large in percentage terms with the U.K. coming in at the cheap end. Obviously that’s good for UK consumers but makes it harder to actually find the watches here.

To be fair, the AP UK price rise is justified given how weak the pound is getting. Not APs fault - they are running a business.

That’s not correct on the 15202 as if you see my post above it had a price rise early this year from £19,200 to £20,800 and now it’s gone up £21,900 so in line with the 15400 of around 5.5%

No worries buddy a lot missed the sneaky increase, I’d say a move off the back of PP’s 5711/12 increase.

But £19,200 early part of the year to £21,900 now is harsh for anyone waiting on one!

I had it go from £16 to £19k while I waited.... No regrets
It's always been my favourite, and I yes it's a tease but it doesn't stop people buying houses

I can't see the new MSRP since I'm on the Canadian site. With 5.5% increase, what is the new MSRP? Curious to know...

We typically base the Canadian MSRP off the USD / foreign exchange...

Honestly if it reduces the spread for a profitable flip then I’m all for it. Premium is 90% of the reason you can’t get some of these. The unpopular watches are going to sit even longer now though

The last I checked, they seemed to have removed all the pricing on the Singapore site
