If I buy grey and get it cheaper let’s say 52k USD it don’t build “the relationship” for a extra 6/7k USD But it’s hard to justify the extra for something that might not happen but with the imminent price increase I need to think Sharpish what to do |

which hot piece do you want ? take into account that 20% discount maybe doable but did your AD say he is willing to give that much? You also have to pay tax - for most grey dealers if you are in a different state you still don't have to. So that extra 6-7 is more 12-13k - that's a lot for a potentially empty promise. Somebody here recently got offered a 5712 and the world time you like but as a singapore edition as a bundle - I would have taken that deal. edit: also important is how many watches do you plan to buy in the near future? do you have deep pockets to compete with the big boys (I don't and I am getting more and more used to the fact that going grey makes more sense). |

Discount on Patek watches vary greatly from UK to US to Asia. You have to compare apples to apples. If an American visits UK or EU and purchases a watch and claim VAT back, what is the net amount paid on the watch? Similarly what if a UK resident visited Singapore and received VAT back.
What is the net amount paid? I don't know how travel restrictions are affecting global prices, but a 20% discount at a UK AD is not the same as 20% off at a US AD. Having said that, 5930G is not a watch in high demand. So if a watch has been sitting on the window for 6 month or a year, the AD is going to want to sell it with a discount. This is a general rule of thumb. How much discount varies depending on location (major city or small town) as well as other factors. I think the 5930G is a nice watch. But only buy it if you like it. If you are shopping at London high street, purchasing a 5930G is not going to catapult you to becoming a VIP. But if you buy it from a Patek AD in a smaller city, you may have a better chance of "developing a relationship". |

I really like the watch A watch I know about is the older model which is the 001 And this particular watch has been with the same AD for very close to 2 years and they have increased the price every year to that of the new 010 which is about 60k I don't know how they can increase the price of a watch which is not in production anymore |
