Re: UK discounts
In Response To: Re: UK discounts ()

: Watchfinder were selling the watch at around
: 875gbp, and Goldsmiths were selling it at
: the MRRP 1100gbp, but straightaway they went
: down to 950gbp

Yes, I have been told to haggle, but haven't tried it yet as I am still to decide on whether to get the standard size or mid size. I might try asking about price when I look again on the weekend.

Another opotion for me is duty free at Heathrow, as I may be going through there in a few weeks. Mappin & Webb are supposed to have an excellent reputation, and their price is 1234 GPB (full retail is 1450, watchfinder want 1160). Would get after sales service at their other stores. They are only in terminals 3 & 4 though. Terminals 1 and 2 have someone called Gassan Jewellers, who are also asking 1234 GBP. Don't know of anyone else there.
