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

UK Dealers are really crap for discounts,, I have tried on several times to buy from UK Dealers.

However I managed to pick up a Seamaster GMT last year at 55% off list from a dealer who was having a clear out sale (watch gallery, chelsea) . But otherwise I have only ever been quoted about 10% discount when I asked (watches of switzerland, Ernest Jones)

I ended up getting my Seamaster 2531.80 from Switzerland on holiday because of the strength of the pound and I managed a small 5% discount and they knocked the VAT off as well, and it all worked out to about £650 on my Credit card bill, which I thought was great.
