thomasng Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 I was wondering what discounts you find are available on genuines from Authorized Dealers in your area. This seems to be a verboten topic on the Purists, so I'll post it here. This is what I see in Toronto/Montreal: Audemars Piguet- 20-40% Rolex- 22% IWC- 30% JLC- 25% Patek Philippe- 10% Ulysse Nardin- 30% A. Lange and Sohne- 15% Glashutte Original- 30% Blancpain- 30-40% Vacheron Constantin- 30% Breguet- 25% Breitling- 20% Omega- 30% Tag Heuer- 30%-50% (!!!!) I don't know if these are good compared to other cities, or even I get better rates because I've bought from some of these retailers.

eunomians Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 That looks about right to me. I was a few weeks ago at the Tourneau in Las Vegas. The discounts were about the same. The Tags had steep discounts up to 50%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchy better hurry, one piece left Damn, I would pick that beast up in a heartbeat at $16,500 a piece. In fact, get me a 100 of them if you can. These things are rare as hell now. They were like $16,500 list when they came out like 2-3 years ago, and these things are going for twice of list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it's a replica (oh the irony) of the Offshore Arnold Schwarzenegger wore in the movie the "End of Days". The watch is the End of Days Offshore Limited Edition.

ehtolcad Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 on a serious note - what type of strap is on that one? it looks like some sort of woven material...i'd think that something of that sort would come on bracelet or at least rubber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like leather at the same time though. Anyway, I prefer the other models such as Thomasng's and the standard Royal Oak's, etc., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsph Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 re: original post -- do you mean, these are everyday-discounts you see at the dealer relative to the manufacturer's retail price, or is there some seasonal sale or something you're seeing in toronto (eg, as some people say we should see post christmas when they try to meet quotas)? jsph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
