116610LV Discount

Just wondering what the typical AD discount for a Hulk would be? I was just offered a "best customer" discount of 10%. Not sure if I should jump on that offer or not.

What do you guys think?

Usually none, unless you have a close relationship with an AD.
I went the trusted seller route, and paid around 8k for mine new.

I would say good deal as my AD is giving me 12% off this week coming up and throwing in an extra link. I feel pretty good about it.

I paid 8k cash for mine in 2013.
No tax.

All I got was the plastic card, no box, no anything.

What can the AD do for you?

Trusted seller prices on new ones arent even 15%. Most are offering 5% to 6%

No kidding. I've either beaten trusted seller prices or tied them with my AD on a LV-C or BLNR.

I agree. Thats why I was kind of surprised to see i easily got a 10% discount. They will also pay the taxes as well, so that's another 7% or so.

10% is great for that model. You can also buy from a trusted seller on here and save 10% + taxes.

Happy hunting!

If I could get 10% off and no tax from an AD, I would buy right now with cash. Heck, if I could get that from a top trusted seller, id make it happen.

I am in the DFW area. If anyone knows how i can make that happen, please PM me. My AD will do little more than the tax.

I've never seen an AD discount this model, and I've only seen a few in stock.

If you get a discount at all, I'd consider yourself pretty lucky.

You should get that LV with 10% discount.

No discount here in Vancouver ... there are waiting lists at ADs varying from 3 months to more than a year.

10% off that model and no tax would be very hard for me to pass up. I'd jump on that offer.

10% AND they cover the tax at 7%! I'd take that deal all day long.

You need to buy at 10% off and no tax.

10% is a basic discount at least in Asia whether the AD knows you or not.

Most Ads are not gonna eat the sales tax especially in locales where it may be 8% or higher.

Why are they discounting this reference at all?



That price is top of the mark for that ref.

If you in a buying position and want a new watch, this is the deal.
