An upside of a price increase is that our pre-owned will be worth more??

globalmedia33 · 23 May 2012, 12:19 PM

A Rolex AD here in Ho Chi Minh City told me that there will be a price increase in Feb./2012 but it never happens.

QueueCumber · 23 May 2012, 01:42 PM

Phew, thank God I bought a few watches after hearing about this coming price increase...

Hairdude1 · 23 May 2012, 01:45 PM

DAMN is all I can say!

gwozhog · 23 May 2012, 09:48 PM

15 percent. I doubt it. American dollar is getting stronger by the day.

A.Sharp · 24 May 2012, 03:33 AM

I remember an ask an insider thread on here... are there any AD insiders who want to weigh in on this?

Chris actually got a new job and is no longer working at an AD. I think if you go through that thread he confirmed that ADs and even the store to tore reps do not have information about price increases until the certified letter from Rolex arrives with the updated msrps. There are a few of these threads every week about "an AD told me there will be a price increase very soon" threads. I'm in no way saying it won't happen but if it does it's a coincidence. It has zero to do about someone "in the know"

teamlam · 24 May 2012, 05:47 AM

my AD also told me about the 10-15% price increase-was skeptical at first..but now..im a little weary..

Watchdog · 24 May 2012, 05:49 AM

As several have mentioned, it is usually a marketing ploy to sell more watches.

Seen these threads many times over the years.

However, at some point someone has to be right, I guess.

10:10:31 28 · 24 May 2012, 06:03 AM

Eventually there will be a price increase... even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Feras · 24 May 2012, 06:27 AM

Sounds i will never be able to buy my first rolex :1million sad faces:

dr3ziz · 1 June 2012, 01:38 AM

June is tomorrow , and looks like the news is from dribble to drizzle ...
the price raise is inevitable it seems

Mr. RoC · 1 June 2012, 01:52 AM

Cool... But we already bought our His and Hers Rolex back in Feb.

dr3ziz · 1 June 2012, 02:21 AM

Drizzle is now a Torrent .... Price increase Confirmed i rest my case

chorne · 1 June 2012, 02:52 AM

Thanks bro just doing my part to TRF comunity that i am proud to be a part of ,

kokota · 1 June 2012, 03:34 AM

It's confirmed...
I was in Tourneau (columbus circle) earlier today and they were in the process of re-ticketing Rolexes with the new prices.
Unfortunately, I didn't ask of any specific new prices.

GradyPhilpott · 1 June 2012, 07:32 AM

Good call, Aziz!

It's rare for an AD to have reliable information so early, but I guess in all the world, there must be a few who possess inside information.

ADs have been predicting a price increase since last September and we've gone this long, so for myself, I am grateful.

I waited out the Fall increase that never came and got my 14060M for a May '11 price in November, after being told a dozen times the increase was imminent.

I feel good now!

I don't think anyone here looks stupid. Sometimes past performance is all you have to go by, but it's no guarantee of future performance.

Hi Grady;

Thanks,, i was sure my info was accurate because i knew who i got it from very well,, however it was a lose lose stuation with most of the guys here i would have never got anyone to believe what i said ...
Obviously Rolex dont send "the letter" the same day as most here claim since the letter was sent to all ADs on 21st May ...

regarding your purchase im sure you are now as happy with it as the day you bought it ,, maybe a bit more with the price increase

cheers
Aziz

RolexWatcher · 1 June 2012, 10:53 AM

Hey, I will admit I was wrong first if there is a price rise today (sorry haven't checked with AD). Maybe it works differently in different countries.

Good call Aziz.

DJII 7400 euro = 9200$

DSSD 9750 euro=12100 $ !!!

ahmedjd · 17 June 2012, 05:57 AM

Rolex price has increased in the American, European .. but has any one heard any news about price increase in Hong Kong and other Asian markets and to how much % the increase would be?

ahmedjd · 17 June 2012, 06:00 AM

and after tomorrow's Greece election euro might further weaken to record low which could make buying from euro-zone more cheaper

Sherwooddavid · 17 June 2012, 10:16 AM

Anybody know if Rolex/Tudor prices increased in Canada ?
