Title: Boutique and AD discount
Post by: andy99 on January 12, 2021, 07:56:05 PM: Just curious and hope to get some update and experience sharing from fellow members about the current market standard for discount of Swiss watches.

Obviously not Rolex but brands like Tudor, Tag, Pam, Bell & Ross, etc etc..

Too much attention and demand for those brands, or specific models in the brand line up (i.e. PP Aquanaut/nautilus, AP RO, Tudor BB). The rest is fair game la I'd say. 15-20% at least, depending on brand. A lot of it is dependent on the brand/model and ur bargaining game also la. Some watches u walk in and ask, they give 20% off up front siap-siap :Laughing_on_floor:

Yes sir definitely not those hot sports models of Rolex, AP, PP. Not only no discounts but have to be prepared to pay premiums for them and almost impossible to get directly from ADs. Only on secondary or grey market :(

However it still based on how you negotiate with them, i believed if you are ready on set, for sure they will satisfy your demand.

During valiram sales, omega was like 20-25%

Seems you got some idea in your mind, then should be good to go with your feeling. :)

Post by: dpkong on January 15, 2021, 06:32:28 PM: I believe 20-30% is available for brands like OMEGA JLC Breitling

I wouldn't buy an ORIS or B&R without minimum 35% off.. as I see people selling brand new for almost 50% off.

Knowing what other people are getting helps us when bargaining I guess..

Post by: andy99 on January 15, 2021, 08:26:00 PM: Yes getting others' experience certainly helps. From some posts now we can see certain brands going around 20-25-30 (as in general, excluding relationship with AD, hot pieces etc) So if I were to go in to a shop and only offered 10% I know I can bargain for more or try another AD.

And yes brands like Oris and Bell & Ross so many resellers out there selling brand new easily 40-50% off.
