Typical of a lot of luxury products, especially if there is a central North American distributor rather than a separate Canadian one.

Porsched has just reduced it's pricing to reflect the strong Canadian Dollar vs the US Dollar. List prices are still around 15% higher in Canada (after the reduction) - 20% when you consider that the C$ is at about $1.05. Looks like Rolex is in line with that.

Are u refering to 116610LN or 116610LV? If 116610LV(Hulk), then the price is ok. I Just bought a 116610LV and paid 10800 Singapore dollar which is around 8400CAD from a watch dealer. The AD here is out of stock and need to pay higher to get it.

It depend on where you buy it from. In Singapore, I prefer to buy from well known Watch dealer(Not AD) which they get the watch from oversea due to the exchange rate. This way we can get it at a lower price. The LN will cost $9300SGD(SIN dollar) from the dealer which is ard 7200CAD. An AD quote me ard 10800 SGD which is ard 8400CAD. The problem is that most AD don't carry the stock and there is a waiting list.
