Sprintz25 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Looking at getting a new Slevin and just wondering why the Slevin costs so much more than the Costeau 06 and 07. At all the dealer sites i've looked at its almost $100 more. From all the reviews i've read they are all good watches but all variations have there own flaws. Anyone have any ideas?

Where are you seeing a Cousteau for $100 less than a Slevin? There's a $40 difference on Trusty's site, for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprintz25 Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 OK, to clarify further, Jay has the 06 Costeau for $275 whereas the Slevin is $360. Other dealers sell the 06 Costeau for more hence the difference is less. I should have been more specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is because his Slevin is regular priced, but his Cousteau is a fricking bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is because his Slevin is regular priced, but his Cousteau is a fricking bargain. Indeed...the Cousteau's are a great deal and considered "on sale" by the vendors for the most part likely because they have been out for over a year now. The Slevin was only recently introduced, and is getting top dollar pricing based on the demand of the item. Supply and demand. The vendors try a price...if they get it...they keep it there. Watch the new HBB all black. At $1000+ it's ferociously expensive. Wait a year, and I'm betting it will drop dramatically...if you can wait that long! Another example...think of the first DVD players at $1600...and now $30 at Wal-Mart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
