No price increase yet

I was just at my AD. They have not had their price increase yet. If anyone is interested in buying at regular price, let me know. Send me a PM and I'll send you the name and number of the place.

No SS Daytonas, no 50th or SS subs, but they have pretty much everything else with the exception of some special dials.

It is a large chain dealer.

My AD didn't even know a price increase existed. I had to tell them about all the new prices I knew of for the sports line.

When prices go up like this, I think the biggest headache for any AD is preparing new price labels for the entire stock in their inventory and then re-labelling each and every watch!!

If I were a dealer and I had say 30 watches to re-price at $300-500 each I would not be heartbroken at the admin work.

$15,000.00 potential extra profit for a couple of hours work, not too shabby !

They have the potential profit but they have also had people see the new standard orice is over $5k and they look elsewhere. Breitling has some beauties for $4600.
