Looks like US prices went up yesterday as well. About $100 on the Moonwatch line. Apparently only $50 increase for the sapphire sandwich ($7150 to $7200).
Nah, it was around March 1. Definitely before yesterday.
Source? 🙁
Another rise is being commented.
1 july.
My AD (Canada) also mentioned a price rise on some models, in the context of a discussion about the Ultra Deep.
I did note that the 2022 novelties are coming in higher than the models they join. The new ATs are priced at around CAD 500.00 more than the previous models (8300 vs 7800) and the new green SMP Diver is at CAD 7400 vs 6900. Not sure it that gives some indication of a possible scale for an increase should it happen.
FWIW, these moves make the SMP Diver a 7k watch here, while the Speedy is heading towards 10k before taxes and the AT moves into the 8s.
I guess it's up to Longines to cover the 4-6k segment now.
The SMP Diver 300 has been $7,400 for quite sometime now.
Interesting fact, now that watch market is cooling off, I have noticed used Omegas still selling for the same price as before. The crown brand however seems to be tanking fast (used market only). Demand ofcourse is still through the roof at ADs.
I heard some models are having price adjustments very soon.
Today, Speedmaster pro is 500€ more expensive, in Spain at least.
SS 8100€
