Avenger Seawolf surprise after work

I went with a friend to a Breitling shop and found myself getting out of the shop with an Avenger Seawolf I challenged the salesman to give me 30% so he picked up the phone and called the boss who accepted in any case I had it in my wish list for later but with the extra discount I just couldn't resist.

According to him no one can get 30 % from an AD , is this correct???? Anyways i am happy with it

Congrats, and a very well done for managing to get 30% off retail, usually 15% is good, but to double that, wow!

30-40% is what you should shoot for when buying a Breitling from an AD. If I visit 2-3 shops I can always get at least 35%. They've been trying very hard to crack down on this, but ADs still discount heavily. 40% used to be the rule of thumb on a Breitling.

Usually in the Middle East where I am there is 1 AD per country so they manage to hold their prices better
