I've had the Bulova J375127 on my wish list for a while now, hoping the price would drop.  A while back it dropped from $412.50 to about $389 during the silver sales, but only for a couple days.   Not much of a mark down, IMO.

 

Well, last week the price JUMPED from $412.50  to $575 ... a more than $160 increase!  Yikes!

 

Is this common?    I was shocked .... and would  love some feedback from the watch lovers on here ... TIA!

If it has a stainless steel back, price increase may be due to tariffs.

@Tinkrbl44 :  For the last twelve years I have worn Ecclissi sterling exclusively; I have bought at least ten watches all from EBay and never more than 25% of retail price.  I just pop a new battery in and I'm good to go.  Check for that Bulova on Ebay.

That same watch is $391 at the Kohl’s site and $264 on the Jet dot com site. Also, I believe Amazon has it, too.  Ignore the item number from QVC and just Google the description. You can buy that watch in many places for far less than $575. A little effort saves a lot of money. Don’t follow it in QVC, just buy it somewhere else if you really like it.

Re: WATCH PRICE INCREASE!!

I can't speak to the reasoning for this dramatic price fluctuation but I have seen it on Evine often.  I'm sure you know that you can find a much better price.  Amazon and WorldofWatches seem to have the best price  I have purchased from WorldOfWatches -- top quality.

 

PS:  Excellent taste!

I've noticed sometimes they raise the price HIGH and not too long after put it on clearance so they can show a big reduction from the briefly raised price.  Sometimes....

Combination of tarrifs and well in some the effect of gold prices.  I got a 14K 30" birdcage necklace.  Yes, the birdcage is 3 dimensional with a gold bird inside.  It jumped from $788.00(my price  to over $1,400.00, & now down to $939.00   Which means they will be offering again on the next gold day.
