I have said it before but a new BLRO in USD is $8900 in the UK and that includes a 20% tax. More than $1000 less than US pricing +tax

If an AD said it it must be true.

Although I’m often sceptical about such posts, I have actually heard the same from 2 separate ADs in past few days and seen an internal mail to the same effect (I do not have a copy however). Who knows, but this is sounding increasingly credible.

My AD didn’t say it, does it still count?

People so easily believe it when an AD says that a price increase is coming but refuse to believe an AD that says they cannot get a watch for them.
Time for a lot of people to take a big step back and breathe.

more like a price adjustment to reflect currency issue.

if its regional and considering relative pricing yes, not a price increase, an adjustment

It’s irrelevant as I can’t get anything I want anyway!

price imbalance is part of the reason. There is a shortage everywhere but the UK has a shortage and lower prices which makes it worse. 5% isnt fixing anything though

This time the sources were good and there is definitely a UK rise of 5% effective 1st October.

Even if it is confirmed. I really doubt 5% is going to make a massive difference to many, as most people consider buying grey and their mark up is usually more than 5%.......my 2 pence lol.

I’ve just heard 10%, but Haywood is the person I’d trust.

I can imagine the conversation... Please go away. Stop coming in here asking for something I don't have. Also, if you come back in two weeks the price of what I don't have will be more.

I too have just been told to expect a 5% increase on Monday. This is a UK only increase I believe.
This came from my local AD where we just got the call and bought a BLNR today. |
