I was told there will also be a Ceramic Pepsi Deepsea Challenge too.... Sorry but ADs don't know until they get a certified letter telling them to raise prices that day. ADs are liars.

Ask him to give you a 10-15% discount if he is wrong

I am not planning to buy a watch soon i bought 2 rolexes just a couple of days ago ... this i believe gives the guy some credibility (meaning he wasn't trying to hurry me into buying anything)

My AD said the same thing when I brought 2 Rolex off him. The price rise hasn't happen. It's just a marketing technique to compliment you on making the great decision to buy the Rolex.

They don't know until they know...

I also heard the same from my AD. But I heard of that about 3 months ago too that it was going to happen before my buddy bought his GMT IIC. Hasn't happened yet. Possibly it will this June.

I'm not offended if you call me a smart ass (it kinda fits).....I prefer not to be called a dumbass though

.....just for the record, if I got a personal call from the CEO of Rolex talking about price increases, I wouldn't dare even broach that topic on TRF....somethings are just better left as secrets

As always, if you're in the market for a watch get it ASAP as you never know when prices will change.
