1 feb 2022 price increase

scapa

Don’t really want to drag this out, but a while back started to phone round Tudor dealers in Canada looking for a non-WIS friend who was interested in a 58 navy or 925 for his anniversary. No one had the silver version, which were deposit only. And he’s still waiting for a new one nearly 3 months later. Same thing with the FXD.

Again, I am not arguing for an equivalence between models or marques. Just noting that Omega’s pricing strategy seems to involve a steady and r relentless push upwards, one that in some markets is taking it a long away from where it was even 3-5 years ago.

But they obviously know what they’re doing, so more power to ‘em, I guess.

I honestly feel like a bit of this is Omega finally taking the market position they rightfully deserve. Yes, the increases over the last 2.5 years have been big, but the relative quality of the watches justifies it when you compare to other watches. If you have seen an Ed White 321 in the flesh, it is gorgeous and above the quality of a Rolex. The Apollo 8 and Apollo 11 50th (both steel and all gold) are also stunning. The SMP punches above its weight. This is a recalibration of the brand that is rightfully deserved. Even with the recent price increase, I don’t know of a better diver than SMP in a somewhat similar price range even if willing to spend 2 to 3k more. The new Seamaster 300 is also beautiful.

I think it's fair for Omega to move up, but disagree that the Ed White is 'above the quality of a Rolex'. The Daytona is basically the same price but is more accurate, has a larger power reserve, is more anti-magnetic, has a column wheel, is vertical clutch, has a higher beat rate, has ceramic bearings for the automatic winding system, more jewels, is more waterproof, is more shockproof, and has a better built clasp.

I'm a big Omega fan, but the Daytona is technically superior, imo, and is at least finished as well as an Omega.

Tried with the 3861 Sapphire Sandwich on bracelet and it’s the same price of $7150 and hesalite on strap was still $5950.

Same price.

Uk prices have gone up - Goldsmiths and Ernest Jones showing new, higher prices. A few of the smaller companies showing the old prices. If I was in the market for a new Moonwatch I would be acting very swiftly this morning!!!

I think it's already too late.

I am right there with you. It costs me $40+ to fill up nowadays. Prior to this year never saw that number before. So depressing.

Wow. It costs me around 105 dollars to fill the tank here in Israel. But I'm not depressed. 😀 By the way, a 300m costs 6282 dollars. An Aquaterra costs 7575 dollars. It's possible to get a small discount. 200 dollars off the 300m.
