Icon9 Where to get a good discount!?

New person to AP here, have been shopping for a ROO recently looking at the Rose Gold one.. 26400RO.OO.A002CA.01

What kind of discount level should I be going after ?
I was able to get 20 from a grey dealer(with about 4-6 weeks timeline) and about 10% from an AD..
From what I've read both those numbers are on the low side

Any advice is much appreciated

If you want to save 40%, then you need to go Preowned. That's what I did. Almost 50% off, for a like new watch.

It depends on the location of the AD, and your relationship with the dealer.

The more popular an AD (e.g. those in New York, London etc.) the less leeway you can generally expect to get. The stronger your relationship, the more you can expect as well.

This is my first AP and the existing place I go for watches does not do AP.
An authorized dealer in florida just offered me the watch for about 17% off, says same benefits as going through a boutique.

I'd go pre-owned or buy through grey...

That FL AD is not exactly telling you the truth...you get a 5 yr AP warranty thru the boutique...3 yrs with AD...

Thanks, the AD said he can match the 5 years.. regardless for that specific AD price is too high and the sales rep is a c***.

im calling bull**** on the AD matching 5 years because that would be on his own dime considering AP only warrantys for 2 years and 3 w water resistance service.

an AP boutique i can understand 5 years as AP owns the boutique

One more vote to go pre-owned... There are several trusted dealers here on TRF. Good luck!
