I'm living in Bangkok. I just received a call from local Cartier boutique that the Drive de Cartier watch has just come in. They offer no discount. On the other hand, the other AD nearby offers me 15% discount from retail price.

I need help to decide where to buy from. I know it's kind of obvious to buy from the AD offering discount. However, buying direct from the boutique feels more safe and should the watch needs a service, they probably provide a better service to a customer who bought from them.

Could you guys please give me suggestions. I'd greatly appreciate it.

As long as the cheaper option is from an AD listed on the Cartier website I would feel comfortable going with that alternative. You should have no issues with service on a watch from an AD vs the boutique. Why pay more just to buy at a boutique?

Never knew buying a common Cartier at msrp is an urgent consideration.

Good one!

This type of watch tanks in value so might as well buy it with a discoid. I'd look for around 25%

i picked up mine form an AD with 20% discount - I would think bettering that would be tough for such a new model unless you are going PM.

Great watch, wears large and depreciates fast so know what your getting into. That said I would recommend it

I had a chance to try it out for a few days and it is a nice watch, love the cushion shape and much more affordable than a Piaget Emperador (the other cushion watch that I like). Quite versatile as well, I seriously considered buying it

But yes, buying a Cartier you have to get it for the rock-bottom price you can really
