Jun 2012 Rolex List price (page 124/125)

i seem to agree. while it is rumor now, i think rolex will raise price, even if a few % so as to keep the price of the new products up there.

also it seems that slowly, rolex is being priced out of "wan sek tsai" (working people) and more the upmarket

I think Panerai has priced out of working people. Their price increase higher than rolex.

agreed. soon, rolex is going to have a problem with people not making enough to make ends meet, and eventually i think their sales may drop.

Not really all branded watches are increasing in their prices not only Rolex. Look at patek its scary too.

[teo]

All things increase so much but salary never increase much.

[seiko.citizen]

ya, i can understand if our wages are inflation adjusted, but some price jumps are simply too much

[Oceanklassik]

Agreed. The soaring prices are almost crazy..! Was shocked when I learnt of the information. Sad ...

[Darkangel]

I doubt so la....but I mean I hope it's not true also. Otherwise...Rolex is gonna be like LV already keep increasing prices so many times a yr

[tigertail75]

most likely due to the weak USD which is the selling currency in international markets. if you look at USDCHF, USD has depreciated against Swiss Franc by almost 15% in the last 6-7 mths.

Well, sometimes cannot totally blame Rolex, or other watch makers.
Rolex set a retail price for some models, Buyers out there are willing to pay premium price for it.... e.g. the daytona, milgauss, gmt IIC, and probably the coming deep sea.

Take for example rolex sets the list price for milgauss at 9k, it means that the AD's cost is probably 5k-6k? (just a guess). But there are willing buyers at what 15-16k? .... means that the AD make more profit than Rolex?? If you are Rolex, what would you do?
