Haha š thatās one of the cutest dog pics Iāve seen, youāve made my day FabR!
AP no longer showing retail price š¤
I had seen mention that AP replaced msrp information with price on request. A visit to the website confirms this. Do other countries also show this? Iām a little confused š as I kinda want to know the retail, even if thereās nowhere to buy in Canada š„² Any...
They probably will just do a credit check...
...on potential customers and charge accordingly : )
I heard they pull Experian but Iām at 8/6, 23/12 and LOL/24, so I might have to garden a few more monthsā¦š
[PS: Probably a joke nobody outside of the US can understandā¦another one of my pretty serious ācollectionsā is credit cards!š]
Price on request
I see it many times at many brands. I guess it give the brands more freedom to anticipate what the market will do. For example a F.P Journe Elegante quartz. A few years ago the watch was around Today E47000. No wonder they want to hide prices.
Yes, Iāve seen price on request before but only on non regular collection piecesā¦
Even Rolex has shown price on request for some pieces. However, I just canāt conceive Rolex not divulging publicly the price of a steel GMT or Sub.
I think he meant to say that "price on request" on websites and in catalogues makes it easier for the manufacturer who experiences frequent and multiple price increases.
If I am not mistaken, the average Swiss watch company has had three or more price increases this year alone.
Maybe moving toward the Finnish model?
...I know there are some posters from Finland here...
Expand my comment to see the link...
...one of the things I don't like about this posting system is that sometimes links and comments are hidden...
āOutrage among the richāespecially nonsensical, safari-invoking outrageāmight be a sign that something fair is at work.ā
Very funny line and an interesting read, thanks š
Haha š oh you joker š
Maybe ashamed the client can potentially make more profit than the AD or them lol?
With prices listed, it only fuels the hype with ānewā interested people comparing how their watch appreciation against the marketā¦
It could be a good thing. Someone no knowing the brand will get the sticker shock, lolā¦
That could be, and yes, Iāve seen innocent, uninitiated people experience that sticker shock at an AD š³
Perhaps currency concerns drove the decision, an effort to keep diffĆØrent markets on an equal daily footing?
I wish all watches sell at retail and no discounts, tax refund etcā¦all equal in different countries.
This may be towards that day dream š
I read on social media that..
AP is announcing or will announce a new sales strategy that "authorized retail dealers are free to set the resale price for their consumer". If I interpret correctly, the AD's can then set at whatever market price grey dealers are setting it for each part...
Ok slow down sir š³ youāve said a lotā¦
but cite no evidence š¤·āāļøAs fun as it is to speculate and then extrapolate upon extrapolation š perhaps waiting for official policy before writing a brand off is the fairer and wiser approach š¤
apologies..
I did say that I read on social media, which of course should be taken with a grain of salt. My thought process and feelings were based on if what I read was true. In any case, the place where I read it recanted what they said. Apparently it has to do wit...
No apologies needed š my reply was meant in a playful spiritā¦
Lots of information out there for all of us to process, I hope that any AP you do covet will find its way to you š
I concur
MSRP has become market price aka being able to squeeze more economic rent from the customer.
Lol
AP, Patek and these other massive brands are just that. Massive brands trying to squeeze every drop out of customers. I donāt blame them at all.
I see where your going with thatā¦
Youāre suggesting that people will be charged more because they donāt have a written price to refer to?
I purchased
I paid 36,405 USD from a USA boutique but that also included about 9.5% sales tax
Fantastic piece, congratulations š„³ AP in fact has put prices back on their websiteā¦
so it was just a temporary change. Enjoy š
