[ahboy82]

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

arghhhhhh. went ard hunting for portofino automatic and all like hourglass, sincere, cortina say discounts fixed at 12percent. retail price 5800 so after discount is still 5104.

and by the way, the 25percent discount only applies to cash payment right? no monthly installment right>?

The level of discount you get is usually dependent on your relationship with the AD. Or rather the sales person.

25-28% are possible even with credit card and even with interest-free installment.

I got a full 30% off prior to IWC increasing all watches 1K a year or so ago...?.... they had said 20%, but I argued the point and said last week it had an RRP of 11800..... now you want 12800.....
I said if you want the sale this minute I want the old price 11800 minus 20% Or I walk..... He talked to the Store Mgr and I got the price I wanted

( My 14 years in retail management and knowing the margins ( and tricks ) on most things on Earth I get what I want. )

Happy days getting 30% of an IWC

which shop? LOL. i like your style.
in HK, just talk nicely with them, they will keep pressing the calculator and eventually they give in to us.

Local AD, I still manage to get 28% to 30% from them. Cash and carry.

But end of the day, I still buy from grey market. Because sometimes I got 40%.

Just order a IW 356806, still waiting for it.

Hi bro, don't mind recommend me to your AD.
Many thx in advance

Grey Market

at least from my experience with RM, if u send in a watch dated or undated and claim warranty for any faults, they will run a check with the AD on the sale date. if it's past warranty period, that whatever date would not hold its warranty. it's the policy of present local ADs to date the watches they sell (at least for Richmont brands).

just to add on if u don't mind on the issue of buying from grey dealers. i'm still of the view that a grey dealer is a better buy. take the BP for eg. New is about 13k. They don't increase price, unlike local AD. Watch repairs are not so scary like expensive cars. worst case u get a 2k job if it's a serious fault which still would be much cheaper than the local AD. If im not wrong, the BP u got was 19 to 20k considering the recent price increase and discount reduction. also, the odds of breaking down are very slim and the ones from the reputable dealers here should have valid warranty. anyway, with or without, it'll still save u a few k.

my take is as long as the watch is easily available, rolexes, pams, BPs, why not? but it's just my view and hope you don't take it personally but just another option for u should u intend to buy a popular watch again. i got friends who pay quite a bit more for daytonas and pams and i see so many lying around in forums. it's always puzzling but i know there are ppl who just prefer this option and i respect that.

Talking about grey market, can you enlighten more on possible RECON pieces from grey market???

Many thanks

Sorry for bringing up this thread, but if someone can pm me the local AD with good discount or any reliable grey dealers will be greatly appreciated. Im looking at the IWC Portofino. Thanks
