My AD just told me I can buy the GMT II today at $5950 or $1000 more tomorrow.

 

[Waterfowl]

I bet this is the biggest day of sales for Rolex for the year!

It certainly gives the buyer a sense of urgency.:001_smile:

 

[Scott D]

wow.. That's 15% increase on the GMT IIc...

 

[bullandvodka]

Wow! I bet all of us with GMTs are feeling pretty darn good right about now. Maybe the premiums on eBay and whatnot aren't so outrageous.

 

[newrolexman]

I FEEL GREAT


Bought it on 1/15/07 for $5,405 (10% off no tax) NOW,, it goes up 14.7%


WOW

great day.

Check out my new post,, got my GMT back from service an hour ago.

Called AD

New price books are in.... Don

Thanks for the head's up!

 

[Skerfan_17]

Awesome!~ I have had my GMTc since October and am thrilled that I got it then. I beat the 'hold' they put on it at Ben Bridge by 3 days. After that, it went on what they call VP allocation...now this. Good stuff....

 

[Scott D]

Here's a few more prices..

Two-tones Submariner: $9,050 (+16%)
Steel / platinum Yacht-Master (40mm): $9,175 (+10%)

Don, My AD qouted me $5,850 for the SS Sub Date... Wonder which is right???? At the price I was quoted it's a 13% increase. Yours is a 20%!!! :confused1:

He hadn't gone thru the full list yet, but he said the smallest percentages he saw was 10%, and there wansn't too many of those....

 

[Scott D]

Hey, if anyone is close enough to their AD to get a copy of the price list, we can scan / type them in & post in a single thread... :thumbup1:

I've tried, but came up dry.... :sad:

 

[JBHII]

So much for what I know...I figured the gold models would be hit the hardest. But that Presidential price is unchanged. Here's a few more I've found out:
NEW PRICE: OLD PRICE:
GMTIIC $6825 ??
GMTIIC SS/18K $10050 $8925.00
SUB N/D $5300 $4525.00
SUB DATE $5850 $5175.00
Sea -Dweller $6225 $5275.00
LV Sub: $6225 $5525.00
SUB SS/18K $9050 $7825.00
YM SS $9175 $8325.00
SS DAYTONA $9200 $7900.00


A lot of surprises here...hard to believe that the Daytona has gone up so much....I guess this is Rolex's way of either controlling the grey market, or cashing in on the watches popularity/true market value.

DANG! My Sea-Dweller is up a grand!! And the LV increase was more modest...apparently they are the same price now. Makes more sense.

It will be interesting to see what happens to the secondary market prices, and how quickly it happens.

 

[Scott D]

So the Daytona went up 16.5%... :w00t: :w00t:

So question - do you think you'll see the 'premium' priced versions on eBay & in 2nd hand dealers for $13,500-14,000 now (~16% more than today)? Or do you think that's getting a bit rediculous - even for the Daytona?

Or, will this possible reduce th desire for Daytona's, even if just a little? Speaking for me, I certainly won't spend $9,200 for a SS watch. $7,900 was a stretch. I can get a TT or platinum Yach-Master or TT Sub for less money than a SS Daytona.. I'd rather have any of those - even though the Daytona does have a certain mistique quality to it...

What do you guys think?

 

[JBHII]

I honestly don't know Scott. On one hand, if sales/production slows, it could mean less examples in circulation, which will push up secondary market prices (less production would be a good thing from my perspective).

On the other hand, It just may mean more USA watches going to Europe due to the exchange rate, and few Americans owning Daytonas. Which would mean that secondary prices would indeed go up.

So it's hard for me to envision a scenario where prices don't eventually go up. :scared:

 

[Scott D]

Well, I guess I'm looking more at possibly sales / production staying the same, with less people willing to pay the money. Less people willing to pay would drive down the secondary market. Won't be to retail levels, but maybe closer to them... Don't know.. Just spitballing here.... :confused1:

Well, that retail price is still below what the watch is currently bringing on the secondary market. So relative to what people are willing to pay, it is still at or below the known "going price."

I just drove to the AD and put 10% down on the SS Sub. So I am locked in at $5175.00. But I am still waiting for a GMT II so I can compare the two watches. The best they would do for the price of the new GMT II is $6200.00.

So, now I'm in the waiting mode...

[newrolexman]

I asked my AD the same question about the daytona SS


She said in her opinion (20+ yrs of rollie sales) the SS will increase on the secondary market to reflect this increase.


I said, do you think it will be harder to sell an SS Daytona now,, with the increase and the economy in the USA overall,, she said NO way, not on the SS Daytona. THey still get many calls everyday from all over the usa about a SS in stock.

What a watch!

Today the GMT ll c should be $5,950

I dont get $6,200? thats over todays retail.

I would question that price at your AD.

Sounds like it's because they don't have one in stock today & would have to order it. Thus, it wouldn't be in stock before end of day today... That's the only reason I can think of...

 

[Scott D]

Anyone remember what the GMT II was before the IIc? Didn't they raise the price of the GMT IIc vs. the GMT II? I'm just wondering, let's assume a SS new Sub comes out in April (unlikely, but lets assume). Would that be another increase on top of tomorrow's? So the Sub would be closer to what the GMT IIc is, say 6,600? That would be an increase of almost 28% compared with 'todays' price...

Would you pay $6,600 for a new sub vs. $5,200 for todays Sub if they were both in the display case side-by-side? Assume the differences would be super-case, maxi dial, blue parachrom, ceramic bezel, solid center links & new clasp. Is all that worth a 28% increase to you, or is the current Sub "good enough"? Just wonderin' what you're thinkin'....
