New Blancpain 42mm price change?
Did Blancpain just increase the price of their newly released 42.3mm watches? I did just arrive in Mexico so not sure if I’m getting some weird Mexico based US pricing (pricing is still in USD when I view the website).
Anyone else notice a price change? |

Mexico pricing is super wack. I lived in monterrey for 6 months and ADs didn’t seem nearly as open to discounting.

Price is unchanged on the Blancpain US site.
That would be a big mistake if they did.

Prices here in the EU appears to be the same since these watches were released in March.
Need still to see the novelties IRL. |

This watch was over priced from the start.
It should be less than $10K

I do concede that at the current MSRP, it puts alot of people off, and because the Rolex Submariner exists at that price point, it will inevitably be compared to it. But in reality the fifty fathoms does not compete with it and is targeting a different buyer in many respects.

Incredible watch. No comparison to sub in any regard anymore. Sub is great for what it is, FF is special.

My Act 1 70th is fast by about 3s per month in flat position. If I put it on its side for the night I can make it basically 0s per month. I wish they made a GMT and perpetual calendar versions again like with the trilogy series. Saw the brushed gold on a guy in a bar the day and it looked incredible. Thinking of trading the Act 1 for the gold.

Back to the original question, US pricing has not changed, and availability seems to be a challenge right now.
