Inevitable this was going to happen
Agree… almost wished Rolex would have pushed the envelope some more to see what happens. Hehe.
Who the F cares? You can’t get one anyways.
We’ve seen at least a 10-12% raise in the cost of living across the board over the last 2 years (yet not a 10-12% raise in salaries for the middle class…hmmm) this is no surprise. I’ll stand back and watch people wring their hands and sign up for wait lists- as said by a few others, not high on my priority list.
Fair enough and not debating any of the points you make, but I am still going to go on a whim and speculate that their price increases are not just to reflect inflation, but rather to account for the high demand (and high prices on secondary markets). Indeed, I would further assume that the increase linked to the general inflation is probably around 3%, which is what you see in less popular models, and that the “hot models” saw an additional 7-9% increase just because they can (and should?).
Whether that will impact the rest of the industry, or not, is anybody’s guess.
what are you babies crying about?
You can pick any of these fine Rolex here, there's sea of options anywhere from 21 to a massive 26mm.
Don't be picky.
they are alienating a large section of their dedicated fan base by pricing them (us) out. They won’t hurt for customers as the flex culture is money rich
29mm can be a man’s watch too!!
although mother of pearl dial and diamon bezels aren’t really my thing.
