anyone know if this is true? and what percent will it be?

 

The Swiss Franc is up by 18 percent this year if memory serves me right, the prices at our local AD is up by a big difference around 3-4k per watch.

 

i read it will be a 10% increase next month (september 2011)
the boutiques (and i mean authorized dealers) are also becoming stricter with their international pricing, but this is what the local AD tells me and i believe them given how i see the market even online + in the Gulf

if the 17.7k is still on the table, jump on it bro
you are NOT getting a bad deal, even if you MIGHT be paying a bit over what you would for a used/mint condition one

MM, what are they letting go the ROOs for those days locally? 6,500KD? ($23.8)

 

I know in February there was a 7% increase then in May there was another 10% increase as well.

 

I have decided to up my fee for reminding gmac what a twat he is.

 

By now and try to get a good discount otherwise get a used one. It will be another 3-4 years until we see different pricing, maybe it keeps on going higher due to the currency rate or lower ?

 

thanks for input guys! Really helps me out

 

I heard they are increasing prices making the brand less easy to get in to(regardless of the currency rate).

I bought my AP ROO (RubberClad with White Dial) (now Discontinued) for 16,500 roughly around 4,500 Kuwaiti Dinnars and that is the lowest I've seen or going for a BNIB AD purchase locally as I purchased it at Fall 2009(better economic climate for negotiation).

Right now for that same price you can only get a SS Royal Oak Automatic (non Chrono).

The Royal Oak Offshores have all risen in prices here, $31,000 prior to discount new 44MM ROO and 42MM Specials like the Safari, Volcano and the likes of the AP Diver etc.

 

i went a couple of weeks ago to the boutique here in Salhiya (Kuwait)
the volcano was 7000 KD while the bumble bee was 10K i think and the newest was the diver if im not mistaken was @ 5k

i want an AP sooooo Bad but the prices just keeps getting higher and higher

 

Volcano is not worth 7,000kd I remember it going for 5,500kd.

I like the diver and the volcano. If you want something nice lumma you cab get the all black hublot big bang.
