Rolex to double the warranty.

Just read this on the watchville app.

Beginning 1 July 2015, the Rolex International Warranty will more than double from its current 2-year warranty to a 5-year warranty from the date of purchase. Retroactive for all watches sold between 1 July 2013 and 30 June 2015, the Rolex International Warranty is extended for an additional one year for a total of a 3-year warranty. Designed for longevity, Rolex has an extensive network of authorised retailers and service centers in over 100 countries around the world.

This unprecedented move by the Swiss watchmaker is a game changer, and sets a new industry standard for luxury watches.

Sign of desperation I'd say. This is NOT to satisfy existing customers but an attempt to generate new sales after seeing sales drop in recent years due to 30%-50% price increases in the same period. Greed, Greed Greed.

How about some price reduction for a change.

There is no evidence to support your assertions and if you're waiting for a Rolex price reduction, you're going to be in for a long, frustrating wait. Be happy that it has been several years since Rolex had a price increase in the States.

There's no pleasing some people. I wonder if this will also apply to service warranty.

Good question! Glad I decided to hold back on servicing my Daytona!
