Is it a world-wide price adjustments or just in Germany? Anybody can shed some light whether or not Malaysian market is insulated from this?

If the price increase is happening in Germany I believe most, if not all all, of Euro will be subjected to price increase as well.

I'm sure the AD and grey dealers here will increase the price to follow the price increase.

Within a span of 11 months, Malaysians have 3 Rolex price adjustments. April 2015, October 2015 and February 2016?

Well it's only slightly more than a week away, let's see if the price will be adjusted here. I wouldn't bet against it.

Looks like my next target, the Sub LVC is getting way too expensive :Scolding:

I told you guys you dont believe Rolex is the best investment.

Now you see. When crude oil price is falling Rolex price increase, when commodity price decrease Rolex price increase, when companies are slashing jobs yet Rolex price increase. Property price also cannot withstand recession.

Now you know why only Rolex is accepted in Pajak

Go Rolex go.

I think even if no one is buying in this part of the world Rolex would not reduce its price

If you plot the graph between Rolex and ringgit vs per capital income in Malaysia . I am sure it's way better than ringgit

Rolex recession proof  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Which is the reason why we buy boring looking, very frequently copied and very "clichéd" watches like Rolex. Every other Tom, Dick and Harry has one. But when every other Tom, Dick or Harry is buying it, there has to be a reason...other than the fact that the  watch is as tough as nails, built with quality and has looks that has withstood the test of time.

A friend checked out a shop in Atria and found the Sub ND going for 31k and BLNR at 40k. Perhaps in anticipation of the price increase.  :o

Wow Sub C MRSP is RM27360 but those guys selling premium at RM31k  :o

You probably cannot buy at AD for MRSP at this moment cause they keep and sell only after 1st February?

Yeah you're right mate. He's looking for one before the price increase but a lot of ADs say out of stock.

Sub C = ND.  In November 2015 it was 27360.  I assume its still the same until 1st February

That was close to the price I paid for Hulk back in 2011! and that was with premium over msrp factored in!

Went to a couple of ADs over the weekend and the sales people don't know of any price increase. So it's either not happening or could be later. Or maybe they just don't want to say. We shall see..
Title: Re: Rolex imminent price increase
Post by: Kayjay on February 01, 2016, 07:46:14 PM
So Feb it is, any news on price hike so far? Went to an AD and the salesperson speculated probably around CNY time.

The last time when i bought my Rollie at Swiss Watch, i manage to speak to the shop manager and asked the same question, it seems they have no clue at all of the price changes in advanced, the memo for the price hike will take effect on the next business day, no notices! So if you are looking forward to buy one, any time is a good time, as long as the vit M is ready. Cheers.

In another watch forum, before 1st February there were many who posted saying here and there rolex price increase.  But after 1st February very few posted anything.  Just one guy in Germany said it has been increased (as per the Germany new price list circulated last week) and another guy said Canada increase by 18% (but only due to forex adjustment).  So anyone with definite answers please share. For USA? For Europe? Asia? South East Asia?
