Don't mind me asking, normally how much discounts will an AD give you, I.e. Tudor AD? I'm new so not really familiar how the market works. Thanks.

It is dependent on the model. If you are looking at hot models like Black Bay GMT and Black Bay 58, likely there is no stock and if stock is available; no discount. The rest is subject to how well you know the AD but it ranges from 6% - 15%.
Your ONLY job in this world is to make sure that you are happy

You might wanna consider preowned. Saw quite a few Tudor BB GMT on sale on various online platform like Mudah, Carousell...etc

Price seems to dropped slightly on preowned market. Most are very new with full set.

Ya. I'm looking at those too. Not for GMT, just the ref 79230.

Timesquare Level 6 West Wing is the way to go. Like an earlier poster said, for 10k a preowned Omega/Tudor is best. Any preowned Seamaster or Black bay is great. Try to get the full set with box and papers. At the minimum with papers. The level 6 shops in Timesquare are pretty reputable. They won't risk their reputation to con 10k IMO.

How true. But you must be on your toes at all times and do your homework first.

I am almost a recovered watchaholic, but last checked shows only 70% recovered. How?
