JLC dealers--discounts, expectations

I am thinking of consolidating my collection in favor of a few JLC and Patek pieces. A Patek will probably be used, but I'd love to get my hands on a brand new JLC in rose gold. What should I expect as a discount from a typical AD (not a botique)?

I am thinking of either one of these models. Images are borrowed from JLC itself.





Many thanks for any info.

The AD I go to here gives 20%. I've heard people have AD's who do 25%.

20 % is very good imo.
I just bought a brand new JLC and that's what I got after some negotiations.
25% was not possible at this AD, I am a first time customer at this jeweler but have heard he does not discount more anyway. Not saying 25% is impossible but would think you'd have to be a big customer already.

Love JLC. 20-25% is doable at my AD.
