Expectations
* Post a strong October (festive demand), there was pressure on volumes in November - December
* So likelihood of flattish jewelry volumes in Q3; compares to 3% growth in Q2
* Topline will continue to be driven by gold prices; +40% YoY
* Also management has been vocal about a slowdown in watches; particularly at the lower end
* Volume growth in watches likely in single digits versus mid teens earlier
* Watch margins may be supported by 5-7% price hikes taken in Q3
