Mickey Padge Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Blimey! Nice find, I wonder how soon the other dealers will follow? Could this be a reaction to the recent V1 blacksteel update? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Hont would be selling you anything Dave, not even a Breitling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Nice find, I wonder how soon the other dealers will follow? Could this be a reaction to the recent V1 blacksteel update? I doubt many. I've seen lots of the dealers sometimes have a watch on big sale that others don't. Ruby has the Ball on super sale right now...some of the dealers but not all had the CDs on sale awhile back...Peter had my Skyland on sale for super cheap as well. During all these sales...none of the other dealers seemed to follow suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikki6 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Keeps kicking me back to the login page for some reason?? I wonder if this could be a knock on effect with what has been happening in the rep world and several companies lawsuits, or if the current finacial climate is begining to hit them too?? Man I love black steel, hope the same happens for AP ROO's too!! But, this could be a double edged sword, if they start to drop prices at the kind of rate we see here, we could have one of two things happen, 1) Influx of buyers that would normally be buying from the chinese 'stall' market and crappy sites, and/or 2) we get the price drops but we also see a return to the bad old days where quality and attention to details were second to profit?? But then what do I know, it could just be a guy seeing sense and realising that people just don't have that kind of money anymore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 If the factory drops the price, it is up to the dealer in question to pass on that saving. We all know Hont won't be selling the V2 at a huge loss, and if he can get it for a substantially lower price, so can all the other dealers...... This type of thread won't hurt either, as it brings the new price to everyone's attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Nah, the small ones will, because they really need an edge in a tough market. The big guys will follow if they feel the need too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
add46.88 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 have you also seen the ORIS Williams F1 Team Chrono 7750 Hont is selling.. looks very cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Nah, the small ones will, because they really need an edge in a tough market. The big guys will follow if they feel the need too I doubt he is selling the $428 version for that price. He is likely selling the new V1 with the updated dial... http://www.jpc8118.com/0000blsa10004-skyla...0bp-p-5774.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have a V2, so I am not going to jump in. I am sure someone will, so only time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hont confirms it is the v2, not the update of v1. WOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave123 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Yup,its the V2,apparently not a good seller and the price is coming down,some have not gotten around to it yet... Looks like these 'economy issues' that people talk about are going to be good for rep watch pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Looks like it's not just the Blacksteel that has been reduced, Ebel Discovery is now $278. I recall it was around $380 at worst. LINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fidestro Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I bit, I will let you know how it turns out. I specifically asked Hont if this is the same watch and he confirmed it was the same one that was over $400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
