Question for Keith Downing

Keith,

I live in Orange County, California. I have read several of your posts where you identify via private email authorized dealers that offer very good discounts on new Omegas. I am specifically interested in the Omega 2055.8. Right now, I know of an authorized dealer in Los Angeles that will give 30% without question. I have explored dealers who will match that price in Orange County. My question is whether I can get to 35% or 40% from an OC/LA dealer, and if so who. I am not trying to be greedy. But exploring this website, it seems like a 35-40% discount is fair (given a dealer's 100% markup) and achievable.

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
