Back in the 80's watch prices were increased 2 or 3 times a year, so I wouldn't be surprised to see another increase in July.

I expect one also, to the more popular SMP/ AT and Speedy lines anyway.

Those lines have nearly doubled in price in Canada over the past five years. The sapphire 3861 has become a CAD 10k watch, the hesalite version isn't far behind at 9100.00, and the AT will likely hit CAD 8500.00 and the SMP diver CAD 8000.00 after this next round. For reference, my FOIS was purchased at list for CAD 5250 in 2020, and my SMP diver ran me 4850.00 a year or so earlier before these price hikes really started to bite.

I remember thinking I really wasn’t sure if I should buy my Speedmaster Pro back in summer 2017 … for $3500 brand new. Things have sure changed.

And... again. Prices up on Seamasters, Speedmasters, etc. Some modest, but the Speedy Sapphire is now over CAD 10k before taxes.

US website appears not to have been adjusted yet. SMP 300m still $5600.

South Korean ADs are expected to see around 7% increase on July 1st.
The price hike apparently only affects mid to high-end Swatch Group brands.
I guess it's time to pull the trigger.

Just received an email from my Omega Boutique representative about the Moon Watch I was looking at over the past weekend. He alerted me to impending price increase come July 1, 2023. If you’re looking to buy an Omega like me, better do it soon.

These days, nothing is assured. Lots of people showing Ukranian themed avatars these days, we don't automatically assume they are Ukranian.

Is the silver Snoopy going to increase again ? I picked up mine in February but was curious. The only other new omega I would like to pick up is a SS 321 next.

Including the US which had an increase earlier this year. This increase will be an additional one. Hesalite Speedmaster will probably go from the current $6,600 to $6,900 - $7,000.
