I wonder what we have in common
Anyone else been invited? In the past this has been to sample the new watches but wondered if it was going to be around some new announcements seeing as Rolex have done some September releases in the recent past.

All I can say is “Remember, remember, the FIRST OF SEPTEMBER.”

Perhaps the titanium Yacht-Master?
Seems a tad odd to invite some would-be punters to a ‘ta-dah, we put the prices up’ event. Equally showing us new models that aren’t available is like losing on Bullseye and being shown the speedboat.
At all the WOS events I've attended there's been numerous (including some hard to get) models for sale. They have a captive audience, drink flowing...
Who ever actually wanted the speedboat? It always made me laugh when they handed a speedboat to the winner living in a flat in Tipton.
WTF is he going to do with it if he doesn't have access to SC?
Anyway, I'm sure the OP will have their eye on some 'bargains' to flog back to the 'community' at an insulting mark-up.
I am the OP on the original thread and I don’t think I’ve ever sold a watch back here or made a profit.
It’s to announce the new Swatchlex Oysterquartz

I’ve been invited to some in the past and attended once, usually just a case of trying on the new watches. The one I went to was when all the new coloured OP’s were released. No invite this year, must have dropped off their mailing list as I haven’t brought anything in over a year
It’s to announce the end of the list system, breaking it gently to those affected.
So it's not - CLEARANCE SALE - EVERYTHING MUST GO! LAST YEAR'S MODELS UP TO 50% OFF!!!
Although teased by HM above, it sounds it has all but been confirmed that a price increase will happen for Rolex on 1st September. 5%+.
Not that it would be a massive surprise.

My invitation just said it was a meal under the wings of Concorde.
Looks like everything is around +5% this morning.

If resale wasn't an issue, would you pay 3.5k for a Pelagos or 8k for a sub?

OP41 - £4850 to £5100
SD43 £10350 - £10850
Anyway know the previous price of the Rootbeer? I have c£11.5k in my head - the new price is £12,750, which would imply +10%. I've been meaning to add my name to the waiting list for ages, Sod's law !
Prices should drop back to circa yesterday’s prices if Truss gets in and follows through on the 5% VAT reduction.

Makes total sense given the weakening GBP. Not really a price increase, more bringing the GBP price in line a little probably. Don't think this was a worldwide increase.
Don’t hold your breath for any of that to happen….specifically, regarding any possible change downward in the standard rate of VAT you will find that retailers are not legally obligated to pass on any reduction. The government/chancellor can advise/request it is, but not make it mandatory to do so.

I was invited to one of those dinners in 2013 but had to miss it because I had a medical school exam the next day. Still kick myself
No invites since
Gents if anyone is at one of these in London on the 30th please could they PM me?
Thanks.
Rescheduled to October 3rd
