Price increase

Users elsewhere on this Board have indicated that there is no 1st March increase, but I saw your post which accorded with that I was told. That said, on the Patek website today the price is exactly as I paid for it and has not been increased.

Whilst I am not too concerned at all about whether or not Patek have increased prices, what I would be unhappy about is if an AD made up information about a bogus price increase in order to pressure a customer in to making a rushed decision or paying more quickly than they can comfortably do (i.e. I was not able to wait 7 days for some monies to be transferred from an investment, meaning I had to use a credit card and incur some fees). I was happy to do that if it meant I was avoiding a price increase but if in fact there was no price increase I have incurred fees I did not need to incur (I could have just paid a deposit and gone back 7 days later to settle the balance).

Can anyone solve this debate?!

The new, increased prices are up on the website.
