I'm sure it has when the GBP and EUR devalued against the $ but seems like the FX rate has been pretty stable for awhile.

·I did go in my AD last Friday , checking for a Moonwatch .I did not buy it since it isn't a watch for me , but 1 already had the new pricetag on , since it was 28th Jan , the old price was still applied ( if i did buy it ) . I told him knowing about price increase , and he said correct , roughly 8% across the range . He also told me that they were informed end of December of the upcoming price increase .
BTW i went home with a Seamaster 300M black .

·Strange, for example Tensen in Antwerp is still listing the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Co-Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph 42mm 310.30.42.50.01.002 for €7.100, on the international Omega site it also states €7.100 but in the German webshop it's €7.500.

·Surely one the OB was happy to give a discount on to get it out the door?
Can you imagine how many would still be unsold if they had made the LE quantities like the Bond or Trilogy editions.

·Stopped by the NYC Boutique yesterday. The “Director” (equivalent of a manager?) said there will be price increases March 1.
Gave 0 discount on a sapphire Speedy Pro, steel bracelet. Back-ordered 2 weeks. Bucherer had no steel bracelet Pro’s. Their service was pretty bad. The girl in the Omega section didn’t really know the difference from Hesalite and sapphire

I don't expect these big stores to offer the most technical knowledge, they drive the sales people hard, just like car dealerships. They have to perform or they are out. They want nice looking people who can close the sale, doesn't matter if it's washing machines, gutters for the home, or wristwatches.....it's just product to move along. And frankly, the people shopping at Tourneau, now Bucherer, are not the most technically sophisticated.

I’ve also seen several watch salespeople who don’t even wear watches. Once at a Tudor/Rolex AD, a saleswomen thought the Tudor BB GMT hand was a stopwatch.
Lack of product knowledge is everywhere across retail (cars, hardware, etc.).
