In Response To: Re: Good deal? ()

Someone in Britain recently indicated they paid 650 GBP for the same watch (around $955 USD)and was thrilled at the low price they paid. As Derek has indicated on a number of occassions, the list prices and available discounts vary from country to country and are not always related directly to exchange rates.

This is true for a number of commodities. While the current status may be different, for a number of years European tourists in the USA purchased European pressed CDs here because they were cheaper then at home. Go figure.

: The retail price in USA sounds quite high
: because I just found out that the retail
: price here in Finland is 1123 dollars.
: I'm wondering why is it so, because usually the
: prices are like double here when you compare
: them to the other countries.

: I have two choices and I dont know if I'm going
: to
: buy the fullsize bond model or the new black
: face/black bezel model.
: But I am sure that it is going to be quartz
: because I dont want any hazzle with it.

: PS. You (Derek) have done a great job with
: these pages, Thanks!
