Rolex price increase very soon?
« on: January 08, 2018, 06:09:33 AM »
Hi All,

I'm new to the forum. My first post in fact. Hope to learn more from fellow forummers here.

I was told that Rolex will be increasing their prices very soon? Has anyone heard the same? Is it true?

Ringgit strengthen, can offset the price increase, no?

Higher discount perhaps

Fortunately or unfortunately, affordable is a relative measure. Anyway, the demand towards Rolex and Omega has not gone down despite the annual increasing RRPs, so that's that then.

Can anyone recommend a good AD? Understand that it's cheaper to buy at the airport than in town

From what I’ve read and discussed, there is no benefit from buying a Rolex at KLIA. Will the others agree with me on this?

No, it’s global increase. It’s like the fuel price in Malaysia, no matter if crude oil p/b increase or not, the fuel price will still increase.

Depends on model. For some model you can choose where you want to buy, but for some model like submariner, I don’t think you can choose as it’s already consider very lucky to see one at any AD in Malaysia.

For datejust, go grab at Japan if possible. Tokyo Jack Road shop, can get gst refund on the spot plus good discount.

Been monitoring Jackroad price , are you too?

Cheaper than local AD on these models. I think also the sudden drop in value in Yen or perhaps strengthening of RM.

If possible I would love to fly there just to get these models and have good japanese food

Yes, I always monitor the price of Rolex in other country like Japan, HK and Italy. Another good excuse to visit Japan. last time Jack Road offer great discount, but after became famous among China tourist, they no longer offer much discount. Still good price after gst refund.
