Add Bell & Ross to the list of brands that are having a price increase in September. I don't know if anyone is considering picking one up, but I figured I'd pass the info along.

TO ME - their watches look like toys, I can't justify spending even $50 on a red radar for example.

Well he did say "To me", so maybe he does think that they look like toys - I'm just surprised.

In terms of the price increase, B&R is already over priced for what it is so yet more reason to buy from the secondry market!

Well I think they can get away with it. At the IWJG show last week B&R's were trading extremely well.

You are right, I'm sorry - I meant more so the Red Radar, those other examples are beautiful.

I think Ap also had 3 price increases this year. IWC has also just raised dealer cost on 9/1.

WTF!! This gets me so angry. How can any one keep up??

I think the only thing increasing as quickly is college tuition.
