I heard today that Omega is supposed to be increasing their prices in September. Can anyone confirm this is true or not?

I cannot confirm, but as long as the US dollar continues its downward spiral, then I would expect all overseas manufactures to have price increases. Expect decent price increases if the timepiece has precious metals like gold in it as well.

Omega is going up approximately 10% across the board on 9/1. I'm not sure if this applies to the new models as well.

Other price increases include JLC on 9/1, AP on 9/1, and Panerai on 8/1.

Predictable, I guess, but Omega just did a price increase in March. The stainless Aqua Terra I was looking at then went from approx. $4800 to 5100. Great watches but the value proposition is fading fast.
