While notice that grey watch shop did impose sur-charge on the watches that they are selling if you choose to pay by credit card, I will never pay for the watch by credit card in the circumstance.

I would pay with my card just to collect bonus points. Then go home and pay for my card right away. That way, I don't owe the card and I collect points which I can redeem and I don't have to carry tens of thousands of dollars around with me. The financial institutions are there for you to make use of. Don't let them make use of you...do not pay minimum payment, do not buy something you don't have the cash for. Watches are a hobby, not an investment...
This is what i do ... Using the card for convenience, not for the debt/OD facility.

Basically they pass the savings from the CR card companies to you.

Does AD's still practice an additional discount for cash purchases?

The ADs in town that I know don't do that anymore. They encourage cashless as this reduces their cash management requirements (security, insurance etc). I suppose the smaller/independent shops may offer that additional discount.

As you said. I was offered additional 5% at a small AD if I was paying cash.

very much agree. make sure you have enough cash then use the card to enjoy the benefit then pay it off immediately and not swipe first then think later. Further more i think some banks even offer to have 12 months 0% that will ease the burden a little bit.

This was the topic of discussion with a couple of my collector friends. I've never paid for any watches with a card. Discuss please. I don't get the concept of maxing my card limit for the sake of investment.that is very wrong mindset. watches are never an investment unless you are collecting the limited edt watches from big boy ie Patek's Nautilus anniversary model. :o
Better invest in share market or any other channel get better return then watches if you looking to invest. ::)

Even for transactions between individuals I would opt for online transaction upon COD.
But if your question is about paying by credit card then go for monthly installments, I wouldn't suggest that. Watch shouldn't be a liability.

Recently, I returned to UK for a fortnight and having time to kill, of course I would lurk to watch establishments while my better half go on her fashion hunt. I was looking for a 116613LB and an AD brought a piece (reserved for another customer but he has yet to collect it) out from the vault. All brand new with stickers and boxed, unmolested. I have always been a card user in UK, and I could count with my fingers if I was asked to pay by cash instead during my years of staying there. Yet there I was, after we have agreed on the final price, the SM casually asked if I could pay by cash (no Sir, I don't walk around with £9k in my wallet) and his SA could direct me to the nearest cash machine; which if I was willing to go through the hassle, he could give me an additional price assistance. To cut a long story short, I had to return the next day with the cash but the good thing was they were willing to help me process the VAT refund in advance and I bagged myself a great bargain.
For those travelling to UK anytime soon, look out for bargains there. The SM said that they were expecting a price revision soon, and I did noted quite a no. of customers (Chinese and UAE citizens mainly) buying Rolexes as if they were just picking up Seikos in basement stores :o

Paying cash as my credit card limit is too little :)
Haha same here. But I do admit that lugging around a large sum of cash does feel a bit scary when going to make a purchase.
