Yes, you can now not buy a steel Submariner Date for £9,000 instead of not buying one for £8,650 !
Suppose they have to do something to make their CPO watches look a little less stupidly priced :-)
Looks like there's been a Rolex price increase. Eg OP41 was £5400, now listed at £5550 on their website.

Maybe one too far, but we shall see.
£9k for a sub is nuts, can still remember it being around 2/3 that not very long ago at all.
The Airking is £6500 from £6250 so 4% dead

Looks like Tudor prices increased as well. Tudor BB54 was £3260 yesterday, today £3360.
This must be some kind of record hangovers havent been recovered from,the year has hardly started yet we have another thread on Rolex prices.
Which you cant buy new anyway,so whats the point?
There wont be one for other watches,any of which I would buy before a Rolex.
I noticed that as well. Seems to be £100 across the range

Tudor are going/have gone up 4% I was offered any I wanted at the old price today,prices are probaly changed tommorow for good.
Just browsing so didnt buy any.
Sold it today to mate took a lovely ladies tag and money. No one wanted it on tz only had not much interest. So putting price up won't help. This will be probably same on other watches eBay etc.... could not sell pre price increase so why it flyout after lol
And watchfinder kindly offered £5500 a week ago. So for all the tz folk shoutouts for watchfinder everyoffer I get is low ball Sent from my SM-A245F using TZ-UK mobile app

Greed Is Good
And they've got to fund that €9 million restrictive trading practices fine of course...
I was in Norwich earlier this week, and passing by both Tudor AD’s I was shocked to see a comprehensive stock of models including all the new Pelagos and the white and black versions of the chronograph. Literally every supposedly rare model was in the windows of both, although I didn’t look too closely as I’m really not spending that kind of £££ on watches any more. I didn’t even look to see what/if they had any Rolex models for sale tbh. I was taking my 18 month old BB58 in for a service and mentioned this to the sales lady who shrugged and said ‘it’s the economic downturn I guess, and the fact that things haven’t really picked up the way we all expected after the pandemic’ - she also quoted 4-6 weeks for the service which would be prioritised as it’s relatively new and shouldn’t be needing attention so early. Perhaps higher supply has now caught up with lower demand? - can’t see how a price rise will help. At least you can now buy the watch you want straight out of the window like the olden days!
Not been any Rolex deliveries to AD's since first week of December and dont restart till mid January.
Despite this and the christmas frenzy I chatted to one yesterday who revealed they had 2-3 bimetal sports put away that they havent been able to place yet despite 3-4 weeks of trying. Called all on list and now discreetly offering to customers.

Bi metal´s or at least steel- goldy coloured gold is generally thought a bit gash isn´t it, kind´ve old mans rolex sort´ve thing...? From what you describe it seems they´re become less popular...
Just another thought, but with the Gini coefficient continuing to head the wrong way, rise in watch thefts alongside the rise in poverty wouldn´t wearing a Rolex adorned with added gold, be a bit like wearing a larger sign saying relatively easy money here...Maybe that too helps explain the phenomenon you´ve heard of...Dunno.
