Discount on Sla033

Will be going to try the Seiko Sla033 tomorrow at the seiko boutique in Knightsbridge. They offer 0% Finance over 24months and as I am waiting for a Panerai 1389 next month or the month after I will most probably put a small deposit on this and the finance on it.
What sort of discount should I try and go for? I understand it is a limited model which is why I want to get it sooner then later as I am sure they will not be around for long and I really like my Ninja Turtle I picked up last year. Would they offer discounts on limited edition models?

I have just been to the Seiko boutique in Knightsbridge, excellent experience. Have you also tried Jura watches, they have a sale on at the moment and you can always get a 10% discount online, going to the store in Leeds or London can probably get you more.

I have no connection with the shop.

Got mine at 10% discount. But from my local AD. Pre order with deposit. And balance upon arrival.

Great watch and even if they do not give a discount I would buy it. I did and it is my favorite Seiko. If you don't ask you will not know.

Maybe wear a 6105 when visiting the AD. :) That way they know youre a fan somehow.

I dunno if it helped me in my case. But AD knew i was into Seikos both old and new. I first asked to reserve. Then i just asked for a discount (expecting a no answer). They called their boss and they gave me a discount.

Seiko Boutique Authorised Dealers will not give a discount on the limited edition watches in Australia

Yes I called yesterday to reserve it and will be on my way this afternoon to try it.

I saw it at the Seiko Boutique the other day, if I had, had the funds I would have bought it then and there, it looks stunning.
