I hate this, really want to add an Explorer II again. Pepsi GMT is my personal grail but that ain't happening in the near future.

If Rolex raises prices on unavailable watches, do they really cost more?

guess we can see what happens on watchrecon, chrono24 and davidsw et al... although i think the answer will be “a rising tide raises all boats”.

A 4% increase in MSRP should result in... about a 25% increase from good guy trusted smeller DavidSW.

DavidSW leaked it in early December.
Almost 8K for SubC ND and almost 10K for GMT

IIRC, Rolex hasn’t had a price increase on steel sport models in 6 years, so a 4% increase isn’t out of line considering inflation. With demand out pacing production, I’m surprised the increase isn’t more.

It could have been 25% and it wouldn't have really made a difference.

Really? I thought they increased every year. At least that’s what my brother always said.

I'm interested but there's no chance for me anymore at these prices. Same can be said for Patek, AP, VC.

I can’t afford modern Rolex anymore. It’s good that other than the 214270, I don’t really like any of them anyway.

For what it's worth, I was flipping through some old issues of WatchTime the other day, and came across a comparison test between an Omega Seamaster 2231 and a Rolex Submariner 16610 in the June 2000 issue. The list price for the Sub was $3,350. Because the article is nearly twenty years old, I realize that this may no longer be relevent (inflation, etc.), but it illustrates how Rolex has steadily increased prices on what is essentially (with a few minor exceptions) the same watch. No way, even if I wanted to, could I poney up $9k on a new Sub. Crazy.

There is zero in common between a circa 2000 sub and a modern one. Modern rolex is overpriced but less so than a lot of lesser built watches.

I don't think zero in common. Sure, today's Sub is quite different, but it's still a Submariner, that regardless of how it compares to "lesser built watches" is overpriced. I was trying to convey a general point.

Ok. A 2000 Ford Mustang GT is the same as a 2020 version, despite being 100% different and improved in every concrete way.

I’m only a buyer these days still because I have a long term relationship with an AD who still gives me a great discount if I’m willing to be patient for delivery.

Now that is amazing considering today's craziness and lack of supply
