Rolex put the ban hammer down and the AD now practice being "selective" in who they want to sell the watches at retail price, whoever can bring in the most margin on the table. To be honest, what can Rolex do about it right? Only way the tide can change is when people stop desiring for Rolex watches. lately I was offered to purchase at a premium by AD as well.. both big brand AD offered me.. they told me they have a friend outside who just got the watch and want to sell, blablabla, few k premium.. etc etc I skipped and regretted :lol: next time got such offer terus take

Will you pay RM15k more for Sub Date?
Definitely would not pay a 15k premium for a watch. But if you loads of cash and you got bit hard by the watch bug then by all means go for it.

At the rate Rolex price increasing or tanking, I think it will continue to be a dream for me to own a Submariner. A friend of mine randomly walked into AD to inquire Sub, but was told waiting list to be years. OMG.
when even datejust also need to be in waitlist and without discount, not sure how long we need to wait for the rolex demand to drop..
Acquired a Tudor watch recently. Rolex remain to be my dream watch, price hike is way faster than my pay increment...lol
Prices in grey market has come down like 1-3k
