is the world recession visable with our dealers and manufacturers

[fotoman]

well, it may just be me, but, i have noticed perfect clones, a site that usually focuses on higher end pieces start showing off more sub 200 pieces

Now, is it the factories cutting back on high end reps because of slower sales? or just PC trying to cater to the market.

interesting i think.

Yeah, I see a similar thing with Trusty. They opened up a new site for lower priced reps. I think they're trying to diversify their inventory to determine what's going on with the economy.

Prices on Ebel discovery chrono went down... Skyland blacksteel is now much cheaper... (not at J/ A though ... go figure)

The preowned market is full of bargains. These days you must be completely insane to buy $500 rep of a watch that can be obtained for $1K - $1.5K preowned.

I'm sure the dealers and factories have realized that too.

I say to dealers bring down the prices a bit man ..

[billywhiz]

Indeed, the Cartel are now have to use regular instead of premium in their ferraris & Bentleys

As above - pre-owned is way to go, i.e 60's GMT's going for just over 3K - mindless.

If they're being affected it is on the front end. They certainly aren't tied to any wage standard. Actually when it turns around they'll be doing better than ever because they won't be giving anyone raises.

Also the GMT Master IIc swiss ETA is now only $298 in PC. Used to be $348.

Since the CNY there was no rep that was worth looking in PC site, except the Top Gun.
