I'm not so sure. I stopped by my local Rolex boutique a few weeks ago and they told me that prices were going up by around 10% in the new year. Of course they could have just been telling me that to get me to buy a watch ("You'll save so much money if you buy today!"), but I believe them. Pretty soon they are going to be in the >$10000 range for a basic Submariner... I'm starting to struggle to see the value in that honestly.

I've been hearing that since early October, when I was looking for a SubC. It was always "next month".. Nov, then December, now January. And with references to low stocks.
I don't think anyone outside Rolex knows. But eventually an adjustment is likely, probably around +6%

I've been offered non date subs black steel twice this year without being on any list, Fraser hart AD in Milton Keynes UK had one last week. Been waiting for a date version for ages...

Nice, they are around. I walked in to an AD and purchased a GMT black steel just like that, but still waiting for a sub date black steel since the summer

Even picked up a 2008 model while waiting

Nice GMT!

The wait is worth indeed. The SubC is amazingly accurate. Averaging 0.0 s/day after 3 weeks. :O
