Seasonal Pricing? [Price fluctuations within a dealer - and amongst dealers]

[hbsreplica]

As I've been reading more about the concept, trusted dealers, movements, make/models, imperfections, transactions, etc. I've noticed that the price of certain watches [i.e. Cartier Santos 100 Ultimate] have risen drastically, from $308 to ~$380 and then $418 to $518 [all Puretime prices, which was the dealer I was going to purchase from and this is all from March-May till Nov-Dec]. I understand that certain factories dictate/drive the price but what I'd like to know is that whether the TDs raise their prices due to Thanksgiving/Christmas Holiday shopping season. If you, as a buyer, are in no rush to buy a certain watch, what would be the good time/season to buy? Is there such a thing as seasonal pricing? What is your experience?

Not that I can recall a matter of fact usually there are some Christmas specials around. As far as to your particular model I do not know reasons but prices in general have been on the rise.
