Im saying because I genuinely believe supply is improving. I don’t know why they are, but I feel they are.
I changed dealer last year when the previous one refused to hold a watch for me a day until I got back to the U.K. I still use a WoS dealer but the relationship is less than a year old.
Perhaps ending VAT free for visitors, covid, political unrest in other counties, etc but supply is improving. My point is for a current model I would be cautious paying a premium.
I’d suggest people stay in touch with the dealer, make sure that have correctly recorded your purchase history and know what you want to buy.
Anyone heard further rumors on the subject? I was somewhat skeptical about it at first, given the marginal strengthening of the GBP over USD / EUR, but it makes sense that Rolex will raise prices somewhat to account for the added import friction following Brexit.
Is this increase UK only? I tried asking my AD here in the USA but I haven’t heard back. 🤔 you would think that them saying there’s one coming would incentivize me to buy now.
Still no news on the increase? Wonder if the closure of non essential retail has delayed it, in which case were looking at least April
Quite glad if it gets delayed as I have a few more pieces I want to buy. The money I saved in my man maths pays for another watch.
In the same way in which forum members post pictures of their fine timepieces on a Friday, is there a tradition to be the first to post about a Rolex price rise on the 1st of the month?
Is this the longest thread on the forum that could have been answered on the first reply?
"No one has got a clue"
So as I've been on the fkin list for 3 years, do I get to pay 2018 prices?

Has Rolex increased their servicing costs? My AD just got back to me and to service my 16710 comes to £600 (£500+VAT). I think it was £550 before?
Not massive, but I did get it verbally confirmed in January from RSC it was £550 inc vat.
Feb is nearly over and still not news on a price increase...
Paid in full for a new watch today and collect at the end of next week. Doubt any increase will be March....April at the earliest imv.
It’s happening on the 1st*
*maybe

I don’t think Rolex got the memo about the price increase this month! Damn slack really. If they don’t increase it next month in conjunction with the new releases there will be uproar!
I for one will never ever ever buy a Rolex again unless they get their act together and increase their prices
With the recent straightening of the GBP against the CHF, perhaps Rolex will lower their prices!!
