Prices Of IWC Watches Going Up? Discount fixed at 15%?

[roguehog]

errrr..... buy a few watches to show your loyalty to the shop.... show interest to the shop... know the salesman/ woman on a first name basis..... in return you get the benefits.... simple consumer retail science.

Well said bro.

Jason, it's just like any other business relationship. Just like the same one between you and your fishmonger, butcher, vege seller at your local wet market. Or yournregular chicken rice stall.

hi all, new to this forum. Am looking to get my first IWC (IWC 3717!!). Visited THG, Sincere, and Cortina this week, an all said that the max discount they can give is 12%. Yes, I understand building a relationship with AD over time will help to get that good discount level...any bro here care to share tips on how to do that?

Hi guys, in Europe right now and was wondering if it is cheaper to get IWC timepieces here...

I have short listed a couple of pilot watches:-

- Classic Pilot's Automatic Chronograph (IW3717-01)
- Mark XVI (IW3255-01)

Can anyone share with me the list price in SG?

Many thanks in advance!

3717 is/ was retailing at sgd7600. before discount which ranges from 12%(walk-in) to 30%+ (regular) at AD. however, some bros here say that all AD's in SG are out of stock now.

Most, if not all, grey dealers in Singapore (that I know) are reputable. You can start by asking those who are advertising in this forum. Some who are not, are selling watches in the Private Dealers' Garage. You can also consider asking them. Another avenue is to go online to search for local watch companies as most of these companies have websites you can refer to. I recalled seeing one for sale at Visiotime.

Hope these help

Try reputable grey dealers and shops that sell overseas AD sets. When I was looking at 7days white face portugese, was quoted $15k after discount, went to grey dealer shop, $12k for overseas set.

Not sure if this is a noob question, but is there a list of reputable grey dealers I can approach? The 3717 is out of stock for all ADs...

Here's my take. Even if one of the regulars here recommends an ad to you, I would think that it's dependent on the salesman how much discount e wants to offer you. The relationship I between the regular and the salesperson, and I don't think that can be transferred. Especially uf it's someone you met online.

When I recommend friends to my usual guy, I Lways tell him
It's up to him howuch discount he wants to offer.it's strictly a biz transaction between him and the buyer. The person introducing has no say or sway over te discount offered.

Usually ard range of 10-20%, and mode of payment may affect discount levels abit.
not all cards are accepted for 0% installments -12mths

Depending on your relationship with the ad. Upwards of 25% is possible. (25-28%). even with interest-free installments. You have to check with the ad which card. But I prefer not to use this mode of payment cos that means I gotta forgo reward points from the credit card company.

ah ic. thks for informing.
in that case, any bros can recommend where to go for interest free installment and good discounts for getting an iwc?? being hunting around for some time le..haha
