Omega Price Increase

[skydweller_sg]

I think its a matter of brand loyalty
People who support omega says omega are cheaper, more stylish and requires less servicing
People who support rolex says rolex cost more but you pay for a better brand and prestige
People who support patek says omega and rolex are both crappy

Well said!
IMO, both Rolex and Omega are reputable brands that produce quality time pieces. For this reason, they are able to increase their prices regularly without worrying about their sales!

Already increased wef yesterday. price increase depends on the model. Anyone wants to know, please PM me. I can refer you to my contact for a good discount.

Omega watches are getting more and more expensive and their discount are getting lesser and lesser. We can see what they are trying to do here. To be on par or catch up with Rolex. But I seriously hope that they also have got plans to make their own in-house movements for all their watches. Otherwise the price of an Omega cannot be justified. No matter what they do or name their movements, eg Co-axial, it is still essentially a heavily modified ETA movement. It is simply not worth paying so much money for a ETA movement. Much like a Ferrari running a Toyota engine.

But the 3570 Speedmaster Pro is still completely in-house right? Sorry guys am new to the whole watch thing. Thinking about getting a Speedy Pro as my first 'proper' watch.

Any one has any idea or guess when is the next likely round of price hike?

This year has seen Rolex and Omega increasing their price. One of the AD told me that Tag is also going to increase. Since I am looking at an Omega, likely would like to get it before the next round of increase.

I was just talking to this watch shop in Orchard and the lady owner confirmed that prices will increase again in December.
Why do they always have to increase in December? *sigh*

Increase increase la.. I'm not paying my hard earn money to buy an ETA movement but rather spend it on another rolex. Makes it worth my money. At least it marks another milestone for an achievement.
