Yeah, I doubt that. Breitling or any other high-end watch manufacture will never drop their list price. Now, the AD may be discounting more than usual because of the economy, but that has nothing to do with Breitling.

Seems about right to me. I've bought a few new pieces recently and the AD did a nice job discounting for me, but I've not heard a thing about discounts coming from Breitling.

I'd love to know if this is true considering I just bought a new SA! If you find genuine confirmation, please let me know so that I can seek a price adjustment ASAP, lol!

My local AD have them discounted over Christmas and through January,

But now the sale is finished they have gone up more than before, from £3330 to £3400.

My local AD said SA's are not selling at all. They can't even get rid of the black steel SA. I would't be surprised if Breitling dropped the list price.

I would be amazed if Breitling actually dropped list prices - I think it's far more likely that they just allow ADs to be temporarily more flexible with discounts, and potentially offer promotions / sales more frequently.

Thats a little odd... It seems to me that the SA are one of the more popular models. An I would almost guess Breitling prices go up rather than down.... only because I heard that other high end watch makers have increased their prices such as Tag.

I don't see how they could raise prices after the hit luxury goods took in 2009. Perhaps on new models, but I figured they would try to clear out the older stuff.

Many brands are raising prices this spring, for example Tag Heuer in March. However it is my understanding for the second year in a row Breitling is holding firm on their current pricing...
