hnic 1 Posted January 23, 2015 So finally today i picked up my holy grail from an AD. Not my first gen but it is my first gen Rolex. Ive owned a great rep of the classic SD before and knew i had to have the gen. Very happy and this wont be leaving my wrist any time soon. So for those who dont know.. beware! This site was my gateway to 2 gen purchases Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

markeym3 2 Posted January 23, 2015 Congratulations on the watch nice pick up there ,, yes its true you do tend to sway towards a gen in the end ,, strange as there are great reps but a gen just gives you that fuzzy feeling ,, enjoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Member X 91 Posted January 23, 2015 Nice, I love the SD, so much classier than the attention-seeking Sub with its DW cyclops Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Realism 72 Posted January 23, 2015 Congratulations! Rolex gonna increase their prices next month. From 1st february all model prices will be 4% higher just a rumor... doesn't mean it's true... if you're in the US.. For other currencies like Euro or the JPY... I can see reasons for an increase. BTW in Japan; an increase is confirmed! The USD has been at it's strongest vs the past 5-6 years... strong USD vs CHF means these watchmakers would probably still make a lot more CHF per USD of sales... price increase would in the US based market would be more harmful than useful.. still a price increase based on your % is still reasonably possible... just find it hard to say that it isn't just the AD trying to make you buy earlier rather than later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Realism 72 Posted January 23, 2015 btw - it's been almost 3 years since the last 2012 price increase (PP, AP, Rolex included - also not forgetting Omega) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From 1st february all model prices will be 4% higher 4% wouldnt be too bad but they say this time they will increase much more we'll have to see Japan's 8%... I doubt Euro's much higher... JPY depreciation went on fast (but they did have a price increase over 2013/2014 period) no one will know - even the AD; any AD talk about % is likely to be sales talk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
