Discount at London ADs

Hi all I am travelling to London next month and would like to pick up a ladies DJ 31mm for my wife’s birthday. I wanna find out if ADs there offer discounts for datejust models and what’s the range to expect. And do they give any gifts? Not trying to be a cheapo. But I think their brollys are really cool hahah. Hope you guys can share some of your experiences with me. Many thanks in advance.

In London very doubtful... if they know you are a tourist and getting a vat refund anyway then very very unlikely

Oh ok... always thought Ads will at least give a 5% out of goodwill on less popular models like ladies datejust.

It’s possible... that would be the absolute max in the city I would think. I know my AD won’t discount at all on any SS

No goodies either.

I just realise my local grey has the piece I like ( 31mm datejust with pink sunburst Roman dial and fluted bezel on jubilee bracelets) and is selling at abt £4720. Would it be better off I buy it from my local grey instead?

5% is probably the max, if you have time try an AD just outside London, maybe like Windsor or Watford, might go to 10.

I doubt you'll get a discount in London, but who knows, you won't get anything if you don't ask.
