Was told 6% across the board. If there's something in sights, may be a good time to pull the trigger.

Rolex is making their product from assests to investments!

Dont get me wrong, i love watches and never treated them as investments but certain brands kinda want customers to think their watches as investments and i guess they succeed since most people think that way tho  ;D

Just my 2 sen only

Info I've received is SS and SS/Gold up 7%, solid gold up 10%. Effective 16/1.

Most ADs have no more sports models, except Explorer I. Most likely they're keeping the stocks I think.

The price increase is due to weakening ringgit or Rolex annual increase?

It matters..
If is weakening ringgit, there might have another increase by Rolex HQ...
If it Rolex HQ, nothing much can do but further increase subject to ringgit position.

True, ..... it matter from our weak MYR. Not really the right time to buy any mass produced time pieces like Lolex & Omega, or even the big 4. But, its a good time to source those hard-to-get pieces from PP.

Likeswise, its really a bargain in the properties market now, esp those new launch commercial & industrial lots, with so many fringes & benefit, reminiscence of 2006-08 period.

Like Chai Gao said in the HK drama, "how many 10 years do you have in your life time", make good use of these golden opportunity, rather than grabbing those easily available Lolex!

When was the last price adjustment?
Gold dropped to the recent lowest point, but they up 10%
Double profit

Its always there and in-stock, trust me. Its the matter of you willing to pay premium for it or are you a loyal customer   ;D

they will definitely keep the stock for now since tmrw will be the first day of price increment. Extra 6% ;D

Submariner date is hard to find... I haven't come across one at boutique or AD at klcc or midvalley. Usually was the submariner no date.

Has anyone been to any ADs today to verify the price increase? Saw from another site a happy chap whom sported the SD4K for RM38,000 nett yesterday at an AD, which they told him that the price today would include an additional 7% to increase to RM40,660. Another friend wanted to get the SubC but the AD wanted a premium already even as of yesterday, so no point in picking it up. Even grey resellers' ads on BLNR and Hulk seemed to have increased by some margin.

An AD told me that the increase this round was from the higher replenishment cost due to depreciating currency (so any extra earnings from current stock was just one-off), so the official Rolex annual increase should come further down the road.
