Any discount on new Chronomats?

Hi all,

Thinking about getting a new chronomat Bentley green color— since this is a new model, would ADs discount? If so, what is a reasonable ask? Or would going grey be better? Thanks!

Absolutely correct.... A 15-20% discount is reasonable, or if you can wait you will be able to pick one up on the gray market for 40% off.

Worth maybe-but thats like trading stocks. But the movement is stellar and people may like or not, the chonomat has more history and heritage than a Daytona and thats not a debatable point.

I did a quick google search and found the green dial BNIB that can be had from the grey sites for as low as 6,095. That’s 25% discount.

I was offered 20% from my AD a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t pull the trigger, but I really liked the watch.

I did a trade ( Rolex for the chronomat). Rolex was a little to chunky and I owned too many black dial watches.

20-25% should be pretty easy to get on these

They look pretty slick to me, actually just posted about these not seeing this thread. A gentleman is selling is dated in July and trying to get him to 5 in order for me to consider the purchase.
