Ap nyc

Hello guys;

What sort of discount is considered fair at AP NYC for a 15400 in blue? I've read as high as 20%, but that seems high. I've never purchased an AP before, only Rolex/PP/VC and I usually achieve ~10% off from AD.

Cheers!

Boutique 0-10% is typical.

Good luck.

I was in the NYC boutique less than two weeks ago trying on the blue 15400. When I inquired about a discount the sales rep said there was absolutely no discount available for the blue model.

You CAN get 10% at NYC Boutique if you've bought several in the past and have great relationship. When the old crew was there I received 10% multiple times. Again, RELATIONSHIPS dictate discounts in most cases.

But yes, MOST will receive 0%.

Thanks for the feedback; I will pop in and report back. Flying in to NYC in March to check out a few pieces I'm interested in.

Thanks again.

Call ahead. You cannot assume they will have what you want when you arrive.

If you have no relationship 0. Things have changed there and they are not eager to deal much. And not many blue faces around in any configuration. Will be there on Thursday, I'll take a look.

I read people got 30%+ off....i think it's the negotiation. I worked in sales before, if you push them hard you can get a deal

The blue dial is a tough one. 12k-12.5k for a white or black dial 15400. Somewhere between 14.5k-15.5k for a blue. This is on the forums though. Not at a boutique which are the only ones that carry the blue dial.

For how much does the blue one retail for?

Used. If those were new prices I would get all three!

White is the easiest to obtain, then black, then blue.

Maybe people got 30% off if their occupation was related to your username
