Price increase again in September?

Just bought a 5270 and a 5711 (white) few days ago. My AD told me there will be a price increase of x% (he not sure).. So since he got the stock and I am in the market, I seal the deal first. Better be early than to be sorry since the same guy sold me the 5712 just before the price hike twice since I done the deal with him. So, anyone heard anything? Or this is a gimmick to close a deal? Either way, i bought what I like. Cheers! Jen

Heard from my PP AD in US that end of Summer price increase (of course who knows).

Post those pics of the 5711 white--you will be the first.

My AD says 2 months before first 5711 white for him.

I haven't heard anything about a price increase so I can't confirm or deny but the one thing I can confirm is that all the AD's will get a big shipment immediately after the increase. I guess that's something to look forward to!Atleast half of my Patek's arrived within days of the increase.

Congratulations on your new purchase!
I sold my Calatrava and bought another Nautilus! Hopefully, I will pick the watch up in July!

PS. I think I am done with Patek, the more price rises from now on, the happier I am!

+1 on the pics & +1 on the congratulations!!!

I'm intrigued with the white dial. Does it have the same effect as the blue where it has distinct color changes as the light hits the dial from a different angle?

I haven't seen one in person, but I would have to doubt it. The Blue is actualy a Blue\Black dial and the White is just a Silver White dial.

I went to an AD in NJ who was having a Watch Fair on Saturday to see an Aquanaut, but I have always admired the Nautilus. As a result, I tried on a couple of them and fell in love with the weight of the gold Nautilus models. As a result I purchased a 5712G this weekend. I got a great deal along with a little swag! Now that a price increase is on the way it makes this purchase just a little sweeter!

Congrats on your 5711! It is a great watch!

Actually he posted a picture of the watch in one of the WRUW threads the other day Cru.

I guess he was just trying to be stealthy.

yeah, i saw that pic with the nato (awesome)....and i also saw how an intro/review thread was promised.

oh well, the PO is a done deal, so, best to get back to enabling new watches instead of trying to enable threads.

I for one think, he messed up. If he's going to promise a reveal thread and not deliver, then he needs to get another new watch and post it proper like.

Yes, I do think either it's time Charles either gets an AP or a PP.


Charles, anytime you wish we would be more than happy to help you decide which watch to get.
