This may be old news and, if so, apologies my friends.

When I picked up my new Seawolf from the AD yesterday he confirmed the UK price rises from 1st Feb. I ordered it mid Jan, the list price was £2220; he gave me my usual 20%, which made it £1776 and we shook on the deal. Upon collection, he told me the new list was £2480 but still honoured the Jan agreed price...............and he threw in a baseball cap plus the usual cuppa. He also promised to report any upcoming LE's direct when he goes over to visit HQ next month. I guess I got a bargain this time :D but it doesn't bode well for the next one :( I estimate that's a smidgen under 12% increase.

Reason for price rise...........you've guessed it, currency differential fluctuations. I wonder if there will be a reduction when the reverse differential occurs :?: But, with a 'Ling on my wrist, I'm rich in the things that matter, so, what the heck. :lingsrock:

TBH with the new in house movments coming I think they are going to rise and rise probably matching Lexs well that's just my opinion anyway

Bummer about the increase. Make sure you let us know what your dealer reports back to you in a month regarding the LE's ;)
