Do they negotiate at all on the price??

If they don't, go elsewhere. You can get a SUBSTANTIAL discount in the current environment.

Well you have to understand that their basic grey market pricing is already fairly low compared to an AD. It never hurts to ask if they have any additional flexibility in the price to make a sale right now, but be advised I think you'll have difficulty on the popular pieces. Furman is local to me and while I haven't bought a watch from them, many of my friends have been pleased with their service.

If you are talking Rolex tool watches, I can tell you bernard is pretty firm. They are good folks...great folks to deal with actually, but they dont move much on the sports line. As for precious metal/gemstone watches, I don't really know.

I have purchased from Bernard in the past and was very pleased with the transaction and service. However, they were firm on the the price. They will respond to your offer so cannot hurt to ask.

The regular sellers on this forum will almost always beat both of these firms on price.

Their FAQ says something about accepting reasonable offers - I would assume AM would do the same.

I have friends that bought at Furman and were happy with service the provided. But, they did not budge on price, as it is already discounted off MSRP.
