CHRONO HUNTER RETAILER NEWSLETTER - JUNE 2024

Welcome back to our roundup of what’s been happening at Chrono Hunter HQ. And it’s been yet another hectic month. Whether you have been with us for a short period of time or a long term retailer, we value each and every one of you who have joined our exclusive platform.

There’s a lot to pack in, so every second counts…

Rolex Price Increase

From June 1st, we have seen yet another Rolex price increase…the second of the year! This focuses on precious metal references such as the Day-Date in white gold. This has risen

from £36,400 to £37,800, a 3.8% increase while the Submariner in the same precious metal has gone up more than 4% to 38,200.

In addition, gold Daytonas have risen by around 4%, reflecting the steep increase in gold prices. The spot price of gold has gone up by nearly 18% this year, beginning at around £1,600 in January 2024, while hovering around £1,800 at the time of writing.

There is no change though on steel watches across the Air-King, DateJust, Submariner, GMT Master II and Daytona collections.

Wheels & Watches Event @ Tewinbury Farm - Sunday June 30th

Gents, it’s almost time to start your engines and synchronise your watches. In association with Design911, 911uk.com, and porsche911uk, Chrono Hunter is delighted to take you on a thrill a minute ride at the inaugural edition of Wheels and Watches.

Tewinbury Farm will play host to this inaugural event on Sunday, June 30th, 2024 with petrol heads and horophiles coming together to share their mutual passions.

Last Minute Thoughts

As we are sadly running out of time, we can only summarise briefly how busy it has been. There has been an array of well priced watches being bought or sold through our platform that our luxury retailer’s have been scooping up to place into their inventory.

To our loyal and devoted retailers. If you find yourself turning away business or have stock that does not fit your remit, do not hesitate to speak to us about our dedicated referral scheme.

As ever, we value each and every luxury retailer who is already a part of our timekeeping journey and we thank your continued support. Here’s to the next chapter which includes our highly anticipated site relaunch not to mention our huge website user experience update.

And we leave you for now with a few choice words from Benjamin Franklin;
