5146g

Hi guy,
I am trying to buy a 5146g. How much discount should I ask for if buying from an AD. I called around and was offered 3% by an out of state AD. Is that a good deal.
Thanks!

Seeing that the grey market price for a new one is under mid 30's.....I'd say that's not cutting it heh.

Yes, but only for the AD.

Even if you call around other AD’s.. they typically won’t give their best price over the phone .. gotta show you’re a real customer

I would not expect much of the discount.....

The watch game has change, back then you could get a decent discount....

https://davidsw.com/product/patek-ph...18k-rose-gold/

Even David SW our trusted seller give only 7% discount on the 5146R...^^^..

I would rather buy from the AD to get the full treatment, your name would be on your paper, plus you builds a relationship with your AD in case if you ever want a Patek sport watch in the future.....

ACs are not setting the world on fire in sales like sports watches. There's gotta be a decent double digit discount somewhere these days.

I mean no offense, but where can you get a 5146 for £20000? That's about $26k USD. Briefly looking around ones that price are circa 2005-2009. As @Sensui mentions low $30's seems more typical.

I ask because I am considering a white 5146g, grey dial.

That was a heck of deal! Looking today, I can't find anything even coming close to that.
