I spoke in term of norm, not a specific dealer.
In Response To: Not True ()

: The dealer I use and provide referrals to is an
: authorized Omega retailer here in the US. He
: will give a 33% discount off of the MSRP
: with no sales tax for out of state
: purchases. This is on ANY Omega model, not
: just old inventory.

: If you go to a local dealer you're wasting your
: time, since they seldom give more than 20%
: off MSRP and you have to pay sales tax
: (unless you live in Delaware).

This is certainly true but this is not with every dealer and depend on your contact or past relationship, etc. As for my experiences, most dealer give me 30-35% on spot after some chitchat especially if I know them or bought from them before (and this applies to other brand as well). But again I have seen many ppl get only 20-25%. I spoke in term of norm, not exceptional or a specific dealer.
