Is that $13,500ish USD....cannot possibly be true. Almost a $5k USD hike??
I must be calculating wrong.
What is your source.

Nothing wrong with your calculations but it’s a grey watch.

It must be a grey dealer! Don't be too serious about the price.

They can ask it doesn't mean any one is silly enough to pay it!
Although London will always attract the tourist trade ... Someone might mess up their UK currency conversion and think they are getting a bargain!

They are selling @ these prices.
Lots of grey/pre-owned dealers near my London residence, they don't seem willing to negotiate on price.

Unworn with stickers LVc & BLNR are selling @ $13,000+ (USD) in London

LOL - fake advertising but good bait clicking. You must work for an advertising company.

A gray can list any watch for any price. He could list it for $25,000 if he wanted.

It may sell and if someone is willing to pay this price all good we all live in a capitalist world everyone is entitled to make money but your thread is implying a price hike from Rolex which isnt true.

Oof... Waiting on one myself and stomach dropped momentarily before I realized it was GBP, not USD and must have been grey pricing.
