Discount from USA AD for Limited Edition Grand Seiko

[oldman2005]

Hello guys/gals,

I've been pretty much a Rolex/Omega/Seiko guy and thinking about my 1st Grand Seiko Limited Edition from a Seiko Dealer. I've never bought a Grand Seiko from an USA AD before, can you please how much discount should I expect from the AD?

Thanks.

How limited? I’d ask for 20% and accept 15.

Thanks. I really like this one

Very nice I have the blue dial. I paid about 5300 for mine but that was through a reseller who takes good care of me as I do him.

I hate to do this and it can be an anomaly BUT I read a ton about how great the build quality a grand Seiko is, right? Could be the angle of the photo, but the 6 in the date window doesn't look centered. I would think a company many here speak so highly of would have a centered date readout.

Am I nitpicking here?

I think it's an optical illusion with the lighting angle. Btw, I still kick myself that I did not buy that brand new red E30 M3 after test drove it in late 80's, my wife gave me OK as she thought it was beautiful and I thought it was so much fun to drive, darned!

I think the lower facet of the window itself makes it appear as though there's a lot more white beneath the six than there really is. It looks good to me.

Pretty sure it’s the angle and lighting.
