Can I ask discount for the watch that AD directly ordered to the brand?

Hi guys! Noob question.

I go to the AD that is pretty pretty large, but for some reason they usually don't have one I want on the shop window. At the same time, those models are not 'hard to get' so they can always put the special order to each brand. In this case, are those watch still discountable?

Ask the AD. We live in interesting times.

Which brand or model? If you actually want one, and they have to order one, I would still ask for a discount (Omega/JLC/Breguet/IWC/Zenith/Blancpain/...).

I mean, the worst they say is no. They won't have security throw you into the pavement for asking.

If this is the case, i'm sure that watch is heavily discounted on secondary market. If they say no, just save the cash and buy there.
