Discounts on GS???
How likely is it to get a discount on Grand Seiko? Looking to get my first GS but was not sure on the flexibility the salesmen or women had on these pieces...
thanks |

not sure in America but certainly in the UK 15% is achievable if you pay in full, some models are in the sales on a relatively regular basis.

A locally owned store should discount most models 10-15%. Boutiques, typically not at all.

My last purchase was the Sea of Clouds. No discount. My husband bought a Soko and got 5%. I did get 5% on a Snowflake. Seems I got 15% off on a cherry blossom which surprised me. Nothing on Lk Suwa. I tend to purchase the more popular models. Might depend where you live. I purchase from Mayors in Orlando and Raffi in Ontario. Neither care to be aggressive with pricing.
DavidSW has decent inventory, if you want to go that route. |

If I were you I would look up what's on sale with Japanese dealers on eBay or Chrono24. It's common for ADs in Japan to openly mark down some GS models by 20% in the display case, and the yen is at historic lows against the US$. There are great deals to be had with a little effort, compared to what you'll pay in the US.

In Norway, several dealers are selling out GS with at least 25% off as GS Europe has trimmed down number of retailers significantly. Taking into account the USD vs. NOK (or any other currency, save YEN / NOK), a brand new GS from Norway is a bargain never seen before. Funny, since GS do not accept dicounting - but their cut down on retailers in Scandinavia almost make the brand look like Invicta.
GS is surely paying the price for trying to get perceived "exclusive". LOL. |

My AD that sells GS says they don't give discounts. I would imagine some ADs in the rural areas of the US may. I really love the blue snowflake.

Just got my SBGH295 for ~11% off (NC - USA, brand new with no purchase history at the AD. Not the deal of the century but what I was comfortable with.
I simply asked if they could do X out the door, they came back at $100 more and I said yes. |

What about US only models like SBGA429 and SBGJ259...I like both of them a lot, but the US dealers I have been to says they don't discount. In HK I get at least 10% from the boutique even for limited editions.

The AD I went to did have an SBGA429 at least as of a few weeks ago. It has been on my wishlist but for what it's worth I wasn't as enthusiastic about it in person compared to pictures online. Regardless I can send you contact info if you'd like, but I'm not sure if they deal internationally. Send me a DM if you want info.
