No More Discounts?

[Krash]

I couldn’t get a discount on my Seamaster Diver 300m. Bought it anyway. A year before, I got a $1000 off a Speedmaster. Times have changed.

I suppose it all breaks down to what the actual Omega warranty card is worth to you. It's hit and miss, but I have received pretty good discounts from Joma on the Seamasters I have purchased from them. Unless specified, the watches on Joma are brand new. Good Luck and enjoy, whatever route you choose.

Discounts are few and far between now. Don’t even bother asking regarding the new releases.

Yeah for me, I rather pay the extra few bucks for the warranty card just in case in the event I do need to sell it.

Hard to tell, but I think its depends of AD.

Picked up a new speedy Saturday at AD with $100 discount + nice journal [$100 retail] Not like the old days but a nice touch and not expected given current market conditions.

No discounts would be a great thing… Better yet - find an AD you like, that also carries other brands, and buy from them to develop a relationship. Then down the road when you want to buy a hard to get Rolex piece, Omega limited edition, etc. (and believe me - you will) - you will have a better standing with the AD!

just bought a sedna seamaster 300m a month ago from my AD (not the boutique) and was able to get 8% discount. not huge, but very appreciated.

Was thinking about pulling the trigger and tried to get a discount but was completely denied anything. Not even an extra strap was offered. I’m not familiar with the world of Omega and this would of been my first Omega purchase.

Are Omega going the way of Rolex or should I find another AD to work with?

Thanks in advance

If no discount offered, why not just buy it directly from Omega's online e-store? It's shipped fast for free and is untouched (no AD display wear).
