Was in beaverbrooks today, they still had the Speedy @ £3680. Was very tempted to pick it up, but they wouldn't discount.
Checked Chrono24 whilst in store & decided grey/pre-owned was the way to go

Omega are struggling to sell watches at current rrp, not sure its a wise strategy. Patek, well it’s patek, they can name a price from very expensive to slightly more.
ADs in London wouldn’t even discount zenith, doesn’t mean you can’t find them at well below retail at any number of greys
The shortage only applies to rolex sports, there’s plentiful of omegas sitting untouched of every model, you can get every iteration of omega planet ocean tomorrow at your Omega AD

It looks all the prices of everything in life goes up :)
I was offered 10% in an Omega Boutique without asking. This was the week before the price rise.
Don't have a Patek but great news re the Omegas going up.Makes my used seem a lot better value when I sell.
Lets have Rolex and Seiko keep up too......and the rest too hey.

Fraser Hart in Maidstone had a Moonwatch in the window at £3520 on Thursday.
It was more a general statement really, I just dont understand these endless threads about price increases as though customers dont have a choice when it comes to buying. Just walk out the shop and dont buy if the price is too high why go and buy some overpriced Seiko presage because you cant buy/find the watch you want? It just doesnt make any sense.

Is that cheap?
£2,880 in 2015 but that was the pre big box version. The big box version started at about £3.4-£3.5k I think.

The logic of that is the more you charge, the more you will sell...., but firms like Omega and Rolex are in the mass market. Even Rolex are careful in not over-doing price rises.
Neither of these companies sell primarily to wealthy people.
At some point the markets will go into reverse, it’s happened before and it will happen again; the interesting question is “when’. And that is anyone’s guess.

I actually picked mine up at Malta airport end of April for €3300. Worked out at £2,920 at the time. The day before the price hike. I had to haggle a fair bit but they dropped the price when I said I could get it at Gatwick for £3060.
