If anyone is looking at an IWC, they're having a price increase on June 1. The word is 5% but I didn't get the specifics as to whether it's straight across the board or more or less on certain models.

On a related note, AP had a price increase on 5/1 and Hublot is also increasing prices on 6/1.

i dont think that there has ever been a decrease. but some brands like GO and zenith look to release some pieces that are very reasonably priced. it has been discussed a little on here. if i could find the link i would post it for you. seems like all the luxury items are going up.

Quite a few companies have done regional price decreases to address currency fluctuations and Zenith has just introduced a price reduction on a number of models.

How about Breitlings in Greece? Have they gone up? What is the "usual" discount you get over there?

I was at my AD yesterday drooling over the Rolex Sub ceramic. He said the price increase starts Wed. :shock: Now a Rolex Sub will be nearly EIGHT GRAND!! ($7375.00 + $590.00 = 7965.00 plus tax :boohoo:)
