UK Price Advice

What would we consider a fair or good discount on a new 116719 LBRO , White Gold GMT.

I get there are some fs in the FS section but this is a UK watch in the UK local to me

Thank You for any advice

ADs don't give more than 20% nowadays but maybe a trusted UK reseller might. What are Iconic offering?

From personal experience, I would recommend not dealing with Iconic, I will not say anything else.



Kindest,

Why is it that UK AD's are so set on not discounting SS models when they will happily discount TT and precious metal models? Now I know some models that are popular they will not want to but I've tried on ExpII and Milgauss's which we all know are not turned over as much as say a Submariner!

So with all the SS models they can located by us in the UK from a EU or US based seller between 15-20% off retail, but then when looking at the TT and precious metal models this price difference is hardly worth worrying about! When I was looking at a BNIB 116619LB a few main stream UK AD's got within £500 of what I could source via the EU or the U.S.

We are in need of a good trusted seller in the UK

Here in Canada the discount on Stainless Steel professional models is always less than precious metals. From reading here it sounds much the same elsewhere. My take on it, is that there is more demand in SS models and or much more profit and wiggle room to discount precious metals.
