Prices coming down?

I've been seeing this more frequently and this time discounts are pretty substantial percentage wise. Maybe sign of things are a changing?

I’s say not unfortunately! I think both those examples were overpriced to start with probably due to the retailers chancing their luck over the December/January period which is always their busiest time. Both never and lower prices still seem a bit high to what you can get them if you look on online.

A classic sale technique. Sadly there are uneducated out there that will fall for this complete BS. Just like there are those that are happy to pay Watchfinder prices.

I'm hoping nobody is dumb enough to buy and then it will be very interesting to see if they do a second price reduction.

Lmao this is classic marketing. Mark is the price 30% and then reduce it 20% and it seems like a. Good deal to some. That’s an astronomic price for a 16520. Prices sitting near or at all time highs if anything.

Prices appear to be going up! PM's just experienced a big price jump at one of the most respected Grey dealers.

What Grey dealer is this? What leverage would they have to raise prices when you can get any PM watch you want at an AD. And maybe if you're very lucky a little off MSRP.

I"m assuming it went up, but still cheaper than the MSRP at an AD. Then maybe one day it'll be over like all the SS =D
