Hi Paul
Many thanks for the response. I know Blowers and they do have a very nice stock. My only reservation is that I feel the s/h prices are a bit high there. I was told by another dealer what he would pay to buy in a s/h IWC and such price was about a third of new...Perhaps it was duff info?
Cheers

It's the 'Rolex inverse price vs demand curve'
Increase prices and more people will think they must be great and want them.
Absolutely.Increase prices and more people will think they must be great and want them.
Unfortunately basically all manufacturers are following the same pricing scheme.
Until demand in the Far East (particularly China) wanes, prices will just continue rising.

Nothing wrong with that. If people are stupid enough to be suckered in, then so be it.

ks trap but price rises will also put watches out of the reach of people who genuinely want the watch for what they are rather than just be something to be seen wearing, they'd have to pay over the odds which doesn't sound fair to me. CardShark said:

So start a campaign. ks trap but price rises will also put watches out of the reach of people who genuinely want the watch for what they are rather than just be something to be seen wearing, they'd have to pay over the odds which doesn't sound fair to me. 
For what its worth (and please dont get the idea I am anti dealers making a profit)a good London dealer told me he paid 900 pounds for a s/h 2007 model. I cant imagine it wasnt anything other than excellent condition. I see them in other dealers for 2k upwards...which made me wonder if I couldnt get a better deal somewhere. Perhaps I am missing something and given the cost of service and a a year's guarantee, etc maybe its a fair mark up but obviously I'd prefer more of a bargain.
