many times i have been approached by friends, forum members to enquire about the pricing on watches of various brands. i have seen many forum members posting new threads asking how much discount is given on this watch and sometimes you get people posting i can get it @ X% discount, but when they go and buy, the discount is different.
first, not all customers will get the same discount. why? customers are 'graded' by AD or sellers. it is like credit card 'status', normal card, platinum and by invitation only.
if you want to buy this watch and your status is normal then discount is like say 20%. if you are the platinum status the discount is like 30% and if you are the by invitation only status, the discount is like 40%.
so that is why a discount given to customer A does not mean customer B will get it. so dont get offended or feel cheated. i have been through it, so i can tell u this is true. someone once told me i get get X% on this brand, this model, but when i went to the specific shop advised by someone, i did not get X%, i got less than X%. the sales staff politely give me some 'excuse'.
AD are constantly being spot check on by brand themselves through mystery shoppers, that is why a phone call to check on discount given on watch is usually either greeted by standard discount they can give or they tell you why not you come down to the store and we discuss.
my advice is rather come straight to the forum and ask how much discount i can get for this watch. why not do some leg work and ask around, if you know a brand is sold by at least 2 AD, just google their shop address and go to the area and ask from them. take for example rolex is sold by THG, WP and others. you can just go to lucky plaza and pop by the 2 shops and enquire.
