IIRC I got around £600 off a Pano Reserve at Wempe a couple of years ago. It wasn’t easy though.

Ask for a lot. I wouldn’t buy one for less that 25off and you still lose 20 more, maybe more

Just call ADs around the country. Shouldn't be too difficult of a negotiation.

I don't know the market now, but from what I can see on the used market they are not "hot" (hopefully) by any means. You should be able to get a 15+% discount I would guess.

I don't remember the details but I think I got at least 20% off on my PML.

Not sure what brands your AD carries, but bundling is the easiest solution to obtaining "a larger than norm" discounting. Flip that hot watch after...
