Gold and its effect on Rolex prices

[harlot]

With the rising price of Gold, I'm wondering if it will push prices of half-gold, full gold watches up in tandem with gold prices?

If we look at the rolex price evolution, can see that the obvious jumps in price gains are all from the gold models.

But from what I've seen, ADs don't jst randomly push their shelf stock prices up to match gold prices right?

Gold price is nothing to Rolex.... If you think Gold price has gone up so much that Rolex need to increase prices... look at the rental cost... it is worst!!!

[Watcha]

Yup gold price is nothing compare to rolex.

A gold president contains less than 100gram of 24K.

Compare that to the watch price.

Gold is nothing to Rolex, the watch alone cost much more than gold itself, the weight for Daytona full YG gold is 200gms (750 gold)...after discount from AD is about S$37,500, now compare to 200gms of pure 999 gold at today's rate is about S$13,000

but that's cos the the workmanship mah! haha.

shldn't the watch rise in tandem with gold price too?

cos gold + workmanship = gold rolex
