The concerning future of watch price increases

[wolf_ie]

I have no idea how Omega are shifting any Speedies at an RRP of £6600 for the hesalite version on a bracelet. I was in one of their boutiques a couple of weeks back and the best they could do was £5950 for a cash sale, which is still frankly ridiculous. Makes me wish I never sold my 1861 as the prices for these have rocketed on the used market too.

I wonder if there is a motivation in that pushing up RRP that drags up used prices and people who have used pieces that have appreciated may be more likely to become repeat customers as an “investment”.
