Hi all. Just thought I'd share the latest info with you. I've been speaking to Breitling UK this afternoon. They couldn't give me an exact date when the new style will be available but the estimate June sometime. What they did know was that when it is released it will be priced at £2760 up from the current £2325. Also it my AD jumped through every hoop he knew trying to pre-order one for me to beat the price hike and it's a no-go. Wish I had better news. |

Does anyone know if the price hike in the US will be similar? I was planning on buying an SA in September, but if the price is jacked up to over $5k I might have to buy one now (I prefer the Arabic numbers anyway) |

Well.... a few of us have agreed that the SA is currently the best value for money (and popular) models out there, so maybe Breitling have woken up to that. OBVIOUSLY the Uk will have a higher price rise (being Rip OFF Britain!) but I wouldn't be surprised to see a substantial global hike on that model.

One of my AD's said that the new President of Breitling was in their store a couple weeks back (AZ) and made two interesting statements. First, that Breitling, towards the end of each year, has traditionally shipped their extra watches to U.S. markets but since the world demand has increased for Breitling's - the U.S. AD's should not expect to see as many watches available in the U.S market this year and into the future. Thus look for less discounting by U.S. AD's in the future. Second, the price increases may, and I say may, be in the 15-20% range in May. This resulted in a quote from this AD with less discounting on a couple of quotes I ask for....however, I was able to look to another AD and continue to get what I consider to be reasonable discounts.....so I picked up another SA - this one a white one and yellow Seawolf.....don't want to pay the higher prices and less extensive discounts. If this conversation took place as I was told and I have no reason to believe it wasn't true - it does suggests higher prices and less aggressive discounting in the U.S. market. The positive side - I always try and look for one.....higher value for your inventory of Ling's.... Anyone hearing similar stories from their AD's? TC
