As I predicted a few weeks ago" the price rise is coming"

The rise will be 7% on most models. Some models like the new. Ladies dj31 is only hoing up about 3% from 7.4k to 7.7k.

The price rise also includes any watches that Rolex have in stock that have not been shipped yet. So their whole stock inventory goes up as well, no matter how long they have had the watch in stock.

My advice is to goto earnest jones or goldsmiths and take advantage of 24/36 months interest free credit.

If you hold a shareholder card you can also get your 10% shareholder discount as well as the interest free.

If you have any Tesco vouchers that have been converted into goldsmiths vouchers ( 4 for 1 ) why not use the voucher as a deposit and take advantage of the IFC as well.

I am so glad I got the two subs and another daytona over the last month and have saved myself a few pounds..

Have a great weekend

That's the reason I got my DJ three weeks ago as I knew that if I didn't get my Rollie then I might not be able to get one ever with the constant price increase. Will be interesting to see the new prices of all the models when they go live. Thank you very much for the info!

Harvey, I seem to remember that when I bought my GMT in March 2008, there had just been a 10% price increase around that time, even before the Oct 2008 increase. 2008 certainly saw prices increase considerably across the range.
