Opinion on price increase

[skyman51]

Everything goes up in price. That does not concern me in the least. But with the rising prices, here in Philadelphia the price of a SS 116520 Daytona with tax is now $12,960.00. What is the concensus on what that does for the 16520 SS Zenith in a complete set? I am not selling at this time, but I did notice there are over 1400 116520's for sale on ebay, while there are only 45 16520's. Contrary to the myth, I found more than one new 116520 Daytona's for sale at two different AD's. They are not hard to find. I believe any watch model that is no longer made, increases in value with every MSRP increase for new watches. Just my opinion.

You may be right about that. 18 months ago I was looking to buy a 36mm Explorer.
At that time most dealers had no inventory of 36mm Explorers and had been selling the new 39mm for about 6 weeks.
The AD offered me a 10% discount on the 39mm but wanted full MSRP for the old 36mm.
