New Professional Model Prices...

[C. Davidson]

With all the talk about the Rolex price increase yesterday, I decided to go down to my local AD after work and see what the prices would be. My salesman was more than helpful with me and I found out the following prices:

Submariner: $5450
SS Submariner Date: $6000
Sea-Dweller: $6400
Anniversary Submariner: $6400
TT Submariner: $9300
SS GMT Master II C: $7000
TT GMT Master II C: 10350
Explorer: $5050
Explorer II: $5925
Deepsea: $9250
PLAT Yachtmaster: $9450
Milgauss: $6200
Milgauss Green XTL: $6575
SS Daytona: $9925

I thought I took good notes, but please forgive me in advance if there are any discrepancies.

October 1st is the official day. In the United States the price increase was between 2% and 3% (8% for Daytona) on professional models only. Gold professional models had no increase in price. Same with datejusts and day-dates, no price increase.

From what I read yesterday from our British members, prices in the UK seemed to have gone up 12.5%. It looked like it was across the board, but I'm sure specifics will be coming in any day now.

It looked like Rolex was trying to even up prices between all the currencies in the world.

No problem.

If members from the UK, EU, Hong Kong and Dubai could post similiar price lists, we would have an accurate world view. Everyone could use this as a reference to know where in the world the best prices are given current exchange rates.

I agree with you,the new prices are much more near the prices in Denmark.

Until a few weeks ago when the Aussie $ tanked against the US$, we had nearly reached parity ($0.98)... so a GMTIIc was US$6850 = AU$6990, and the AD price here was AY$8850, so it was nearly $2000 cheaper to buy in the states..

I had even planned a holiday to Hawaii to get mine.. but I ended up getting it here last week instead... but that's another long story which is on another post...

Yes, new prices probably trying to even things up a bit. Spoke to my AD here, no price rises in the pipeline

Wow price of ss daytona has increased 25% this year alone. (from $7900 to $9925). Better than stock market or bank interest.

Wow!

I just put fingers to keyboard and my calculator says that we can have one of each of these for a mere $103,275.00 plus tax!

This would be a great starter Rolex collection!

Good info to know. Thanks Chris.

[Atlanta]

Great information - we were all wondering.

[Courmayeur1]

Thanks for the post, was just looking for this info.

I had second thouhts about the LV over the weekend and decided Sunday that I wanted it and even got a blessing from my wife to do it.

With these new prices??? No way. What they are asking for a 16610 makes me feel even better than I already did about what I payed for the LNIB sub I purchased a year ago.

Think I will keep my trusty sub and the massive Ball aviator I purchased on Saturday as my 'Panerai" substitute which frankly is a great watch in it's own right and the more I wear it I can't tell the difference between the Ball and the Panny. Call me crazy.....

Bottom line, I am still into both watches for less that the cost of a new
14060M. Something to be said for that.

Lucky I got my SD for 4800 last year!

Thanks Chris! Interesting the Milgauss did not go up in price (shocking!) but the rest of the sport line did. I told my wife about the new Daytona price and she asked me why I didn't buy more of them when I got mine for $6,800 a few years back She quickly did the math and said "that would have been a better return than our stocks"....I guess she finally gets it! Maybe she will listen next time I tell her I need to buy another watch!

[Ivy League]

Any updates from Canadian AD's please ?

[sea-dweller]

Thanks, great info.

[GBJIV]

This is helpful. Thank you. Interesting that the MG prices stayed the same. Daytona jump was actually pretty good considereing that I have heard few stories of AD's willing to discount...

[mdtddd2007]

Chris, thanks for the info.

[Z-Sub]

thanks and it's hard to believe that even sub date is 6K now....

[Randy]

AD's will be discounting to sell watches for sure!!

[CKay]

Thanks for the info!!
