Re: Yup, Basel Fair in April

In Response To: Yup, Basel Fair in April *LINK* ()

: After reading your Post here, John, I reviewed
: what I have here regarding the 2531.80
: co-axial (w/ new model number, I expect).

: Anticipated announcement at the Basel Fair in
: April. Correct.

: So it sounds like you are getting confirmation
: that the ADs still aren't in the loop yet --
: which is typical for distribution networks
: via agents.

This will be interesting. We know Omega is not only keeping the 1120 Seamasters, but they are raising the price on them to $2150. Now they are going to release the exact same models with the co-axial escapement - I have to wonder what the exact MSRP will be and how many people will pay the premium for it. A $3000 Bond SMP just seems a bit absurd, especially given the fact that it retailed for $1750 only 2 years ago.
