The Breitling Watch Source Forums

your point?

Fairly obvious.

There have been multiple increases this year in the US market and claiming that one model increased by $10 in this particular increase is hardly an indication that things are OK. The percentage increases on virtually all models in less than 6 months is truly ridiculous. I know that part of it is currency related, but that is cold comfort for US buyers.

I'm assuming that's a typo.


When I bought my CSO on Pro II in early January, the list price was $4160. Now it's $4640. That's an increase of $480, or 11.5% in less than 6 months. In January, the Chronomat 01 on Pilot was in the mid-$7k range. Now, it's pushing $9k. The actual increase since January is $1270, or 16.5%. Seems to me we have reason to complain...or at least turn our backs in disgust. Consider me in the latter camp.

yeah, its was 180$


ohh some went waaaaaaaaaaaaay up, unexplainable and i agree its bullshit, chrono01 and superavenger are nutts for no reason, but i was relieved to see bracelets not go up,(steel) and straps very minimally and a couple watches didnt go, at least its not all bad.

Did the Avenger go up the same percentage as the Super Avenger?

They were both the same price on the last sheet..

Yes

Not sure about other models, but the SA black dial steel bracelet went from €4040 to €4640 at my local AD (The Netherlands).
Curious to see if this price increase has any effect on the popularity of the SA... IMO €600 extra for this watch is quite steep.

I was at my AD yesterday and they had an avenger (old skyland) for like $5,400 USD. I left without it.

Montbrillant LE 01 in London at around 5900 GBP. Crazy !

Rolex fans have been saying the same. Rolex has priced themselves out of my range. With the Breitling prices increases maybe the Rolex increases will be more manageable to them.
