3%-7% depending on models.. 1st Jan 2015..

SMD · 1 January 2015, 12:01 AM

Source? Wholesale or retail? Last year it was primarily a wholesale price increase to try and reduce discounting.

exiger77 · 1 January 2015, 12:08 AM

Just buy if u have a last minute shopping list! :)
Happy New Year everyone!

tcheeco · 1 January 2015, 02:08 AM

My AD told me that the 42mm Navy will be 5% more from January.
I tried for my Xmas gift, but I went for a new car haha

Good to know

Generally old stock prices should not be affected-- but once that is gone...

Depends on your relationship with AD.

zama · 1 January 2015, 06:07 PM

I think it was more like 10% in Australia given our dollar

Hanz079 · 1 January 2015, 08:33 PM

10% in Malaysia too given our ringgit

mfer · 2 January 2015, 02:37 AM

I was just at Dallas AD and only certain models going up. 15400 going up $700 for example.

MIK is in the AP forum!

Any models in mind...

Ha. Calm down....

I've never tried one on before believe it or not. My town doesn't have an AP dealer (or IWC, Zenith, Lange, Blancpain, GP, GO, RM or VC!)

I barely had any time on a trip to Dallas and I tried on a 15400 and another smaller version. Seemed really small so I'm not sure if it was the 15300 or not. Seemed bigger than 2mm difference. The 15400 Silver did look really nice and I get what you say about the finish on these things. Almost to nice. Worried about jacking it up. The salesman did his normal thing...price increase, looks great on you, out of state ship to you. He acted like no discount, but I didn't ask. He was a very nice guy.

So, what do I have in mind????....15400 silver I guess. I'll see if the excitement sticks around, but I'm a slow buyer on new to me models.

Also, pondering a PP-5711. Either one of these and I'll have to cannibalize my collection (heavily in the case of the 5711).

lipjin · 2 January 2015, 01:04 PM

Ouch. Another increase. Sigh

MIK great to see you here in the AP forum...step right on in and let us put your mind at ease

Manofsteelpt · 2 January 2015, 11:59 PM

Mik, you might have tried the 15450st, that's the 37mm version.

Mik,
I think you'd be most happy with an AP 15202 or 15300 (if you can find one). Likewise the PPP 5711 is perfect for you.

Great, as a flipper I love it when brands adjust the value of my watches...

Same here

stinks when you have something in mind to add though

jnelson3097 · 3 January 2015, 04:22 AM

The only model that increased was the 15400ST by $700. This was confirmed by George at Govberg.

It was definitely to small on me. Even the sales guy said to small. I'm betting you are right. It wore smaller than my daytona and I hear the 15300 wears larger than a daytona.

The sales guy mentioned like 3 or 4 ones to me. I thought one of them was the rose gold 15400 version.

The 15202 is in PP price range. The movement looks stunning on it, but I'd be pretty hard pressed to buy a watch without having ever seen one before. I was thinking the 15400 because it is affordable to me (and it looks pretty sweet).

B. Doggy · 4 January 2015, 03:24 AM

This thread is getting good! 5711? Yo! I love that piece a helluva lot...but for an SS watch, the price is insane. That's why I love the RO. You get the Genta design and all of the other high-end perks, but not for the same coin.

I'm in research mode. 15202 is awesome, but near the 5711 price, so I'd rather go that way. That leaves me with a 15300 as next leading contender. Silver or blue seem within my price reach. 15400's are nice, but worry about the lug and potential overhang. I didn't look at it close enough when I tried it on. To enamored with the dial.

15300 is white not silver. The dial is not the same as the one on the15400

Speed · 4 January 2015, 05:37 AM

Mik. Trust me. You'd be happiest with the 15300.

Agree, I owned a white 15300 which I bought because the price was right and there was no black dial available. I later of course flipped it for a black 15400.

I like black dials better, but miss the size and proportions of the 15300.

texex91 · 4 January 2015, 05:58 AM

If you can find a nice used 15300 (since they have been discontinued) it's such a great AP. I'm still kicking myself for not keeping mine!

Speed · 4 January 2015, 06:11 AM

The Blue Dial is a nice alternative to the majority of black dials you have Mik. It's another deceivingly simple dial which looks so different under many lighting conditions.

mfer · 4 January 2015, 06:15 AM

Crap. I just high jacked this thread. My bad. I'll start my own.
