Re: Insane Dealer Story
In Response To: Re: Insane Dealer Story ()

Unfortunately, I have to tell you that 30-35% off is available from a wide variety of authorized dealers around the country.

If you get another high end watch try to seek out a watch specialty shop and seek pricing advice on the internet. BB&B is not known for their watch expertise.

This site or www.timezone.com are good choices. TZ also has forums for a number of other quality watch brands.

Your watch is worth every dime you paid for it, it just could have been less dimes.

For some watches, like Rolex, you can't do better than 15%. There are some dealers like BB&B and Tourneau who cater to fairly wealthy customers and seem to be able to avoid competitive discounts.
