 I don't know why you should get upset with shopnbc. You know that they are a commodity seller. They are not your local Watch Store. They sell on price and having great deals on items. They don't have any other standard than that. So, it should come as no surprise that six moths or a year later there is a better deal on some items. Their buyers are no doubt ALWAYS working for the next special with all of their vendors.

So, Lior cuts a better deal with Jacques Lemans on this particular watch to offer an even greater savings. Maybe he got them from another dealer who couldn't sell them, or Jacques Lemans just wanted to move them. Who knows. It is the way of the retail world.

Your local Best Buy does it every month on computers, TV sets, CD players, iPods, etc. If you just bought an Apple iPod two months ago for $300, guess what? You can buy a better one now with VIDEO capability for the same price. Oh, and your "old" model can be had for as little as $199 in some places.

So, if you buy from shopnbc and get a new model watch when it is first introduced you can expect to pay more for it than what I will pay. Because I will wait six months or for the shake out and the inevitible price drop. There is a time to buy and a time to wait if you want a bargain.
