I've noticed many posts on here where people are mentioning an impending price increase...I assume this has been confirmed? Does anyone know the percentage of the increase? Also is it on all Breitlings, or just certain models?
Thanks

Thanks guys. Good to know. Never realized it. I'm always just impulsive, and never paid attention.

I heard from a very popular AD on this forum that he doesn't foresee a price increase happening at least in the US. I contacted him specificly about this because I was concerned of having to pay more when I finaly got enough money saved. He sounded reassuring.

I talked to George about this and he hadn't heard anything about a price increase.

My AD in NY did tell me prices were going up in the next few weeks. I was looking at a Super Avenger at the time and said about $500. Which would be around 10%. At the time I thought maybe she was just trying to put alittle pressure on me to buy quicker, but maybe she was right!

And we just had a 10-15% rise in January! :(

I'd better get down to the AD and check this out, I've been quoted some prices that won't last if there's another increase.

I called the distributor in Singapore this week and they didn't know anything about a price increase yet.
Bit more reassured now, since I plan to travel there in June and pick up a new :lingsrock:
