New Price update of Rolex Japan



What is the aftermath of Europe, Japan Rolex price Adjustment?
Obviously we can see many people can't wait to snap watches at your nearby Rolex AD in Singapore and HK.

According to managers at top three HK Rolex AD.
The sales has been increased since last week by 20% to 30% especially on Hot Models.


The managers remind staff tighten up the discount release.

Parallel importers is holding up their watch bought in Dec. 2014 whilst price was still low. 

GMT MASTER II BLUE BLACK parallel watch price increased by HK$1,000.

We speculate that Rolex HK will increase price 8% average estimated around Chinese New Year.

Personal Opinion only.

After Europe, Then Japan and most Likey HK, Rolex will raise prices next month



We were told some of the European Watch shops had raised prices of Rolex 5% to 8% aleady.

Now Rolex Would increase the price on 1 Feb by 8% on Submariner, at same time Patek Philippinmight increase 4% to 5% in Japan.

HK, there is the chance to have price adjustment before the Chinese New year, my guess only.

Rolex's Most Expensive Three watches




A Man just came to HK to Search for these most expensive Watches From Rolex.

No. 1 GMT Master Ice Ref 116769 TBR HKD$4,400,000

No. 2. Submariner Emerald 116649 HKD$2,850,000

No. 3 Daytona in Platinum Ref 116576 TBR $1,207,500

These are rare species and not easy to be found, I have seen Submariner Emerald and Platinum Daytona at HKIA but were sold out.

There is still 2-3 few pieces at one of the watch AD in HK, as these are expensive items that normally AD does not stock up and there is no parallel import about these extraordinary items.

The about price are all listed price and this man is looking for the best discount he could before next price up-adjustment.

That is why I call him Tai Chi Cheung Sam Rolex (太極張三撈)!

Rolex Sales After Swiss Franc Appreciation in Singapore and Hong Kong!

Raffles Hotel branch of The Hour Glass



The Hour Glass Watch at Raffle Hotel, some 30 Rolexes were sold on Sunday alone.  This far outpaced the sales of other Swiss brands such as Hublot and Patek Philippe, which sold only two to four pieces that same day, said the sales staff. Mainly because of Swiss Franc had appreciate 20 percent on 15 Jan.

On any other day, Rolex sales typically taper off at around 10. Rolex declined to comment on when its new stock would come in, or when it planned to raise prices.

How About HK? What I could see is that one branch of Oriental Watch Company had a lot more customers since last Saturday, Chinese, local HKers, and foreigners, but the sales is not go as crazy as Singapore.  It is fact that the business was turning better since last Friday.

Will Rolex increase their price After CNY? well, let’s observe.

How About Europe? Many AD has increase 5 to 8% Already, will HK be exempted?
