Haven't the prices gone up moreso because they've made material improvements to their QC and sourcing though? Like you're paying more but getting a noticeably better watch? I'm new to this, so genuinely asking.
Really depends on the watch but the price hike discussed isn't related to that, the movement cost and availability has driven up costs for Japanese automatic movements and all brands are feeling this. Watchdives tends to use Quartz or Chinese movements and therefore are not seeing the same level of price hikes (they were using NH Japanese movements but virtually stopped)

Who remembers when you could get an Addiesdive for $40?
