Are GS Still Receiving Discounts?

Not the limited edition pieces but the more common pieces such as the snowflake. If so, what kind of discounts are we seeing these days? I'm assuming it's not as aggressive as years past.

It depends on the AD but most will discount depending on the watch and your relationship with them.

20-30%... with discounts even on some 'limited' models to a lessor degree.

I couldn’t get a discount on my SBGA415 and I’ve asked 8 different ADs on the East Coast.

GS is tightening their discounts, as they should if they want to elevate their brand prestige.

Common models at ADs can still be had for good discounts if one tries hard enough. But salon and boutique only models are getting very difficult.

Ditto. Got mine at a boutique, they were steadfast in not entertaining talks of discounts

Asked the nearest AD to me.

They said zero discount even when I made it clear I was ready to buy. Didn’t end up picking anything up but that was their stance on all four I looked at. That was my only visit to a GS AD as we don’t have one in my city.

Man that’s poopy, a couple of dealers in the west coast dealers seem to be willing to discount. Shipping is another issue, some of them only sent to areas without a dealer.
