Re: UK discounts

: : Another opotion for me is duty free at

: watchfinder want 1160).

It was roughly the same price difference with my experience. Watchfinder were asking around £75 less than the high street authorised dealer, but as I've said in a previous message I think, I would rather pay that little bit extra and KNOW that the watch and everything with it, is authentic. I suppose at the end of the day, you pay your money and take your choice, to coin a cliche. Good luck though, hope you get what you want!

Its definitely worth asking for the discount on the high street, I've been offered it immediately upon asking, didn't have to press them into it at all.
