when will PM Daydate be 30 to 40 percent off at AD?

[Lucifer]

planning to add 228238 to my collection.......

[huncho]

you couldn't even get more than 30% before everything blew up in 2016/17. i think most people who were lucky got around 25

[SDR581]

According to my SA, 30% off is their cost.

Yesterday. Set your alarm.

I bought my 228239 from an AD in Barcelona this fall (prior to price increase). My out the door cost after VAT refund was $30k. I have a feeling there are, or will be, better deals to be had in the future.

Ask an AD?

[AlexFrank]

Send an email they should be working remotely

If SS models retreat to msrp, you could expect to get 15-25% off PM models. Especially true in minor US markets. If I say, if.

Good luck with that.

Don’t hold your breath...

30-40% discount is completely unrealistic. Now and then.
25% perhaps was the maximum discount, but in the last several years even this amount has dried up. Maybe if you walked in an AD and dropped 100K on various things, who knows?

You will never see a SS DD at MSRP.

I hope never

As a point of reference, I was in that spending category and before everything blew up I was offered 25% off a few PM pieces that had been sitting in the case for awhile. Not sure if that’s applicable today to an ordered PM piece but it was certainly an achievable discount even in that situation.

One other point that is worth mentioning... AD markup is somewhere between 35-40% of actual cost (I’ve heard specifically 37.5%). You have to be realistic and factor in overhead, SA commissions, etc. when taking into consideration the level of discount the AD is able and willing to give. With that considered, I would think that 25% is the MAXIMUM discount you can expect to see on a new PM reference even in times like these. Just my 2 cents.

jeez I hope not...this isn't Tag Heuer we're talking about.

I don’t recall SS DD’s being in the current catalogue.

I paid 25% discount on my 116618LB from a TRF seller back in July'17.
Those types of discounts have certainly decreased just by perusing the classified ads here in the past 2-3 years. Day-Date is still the flagship reference, you may be hard pressed to get anywhere near 25% discount in these times.

Exactly. So they won't be discounted. lol

That would require a few things... 75% to 90% US unemployment, total collapse of US power grid, a bunch of other things. So I'm not saying it is IMPOSSIBLE, just that I would not want to live in the world where that price is attainable.

Dreams sometimes do come true.

Laughed hard at this. Well done OP!

In the UK (airport duty free) they would do 5% off MSRP for sports PM, in the good times before 2018 and things got so dry. You would get 20% off again for no VAT (tax) if you were flying out of the EU

They would do 1% off TT sports if you were an existing customer as a good will gesture

I’m wondering now in the airport if they’re even open at all, as certainly there’ll be practically no customers. If they were open it would be the perfect time to try and get anything as the allocations would come in with no buyers asking every 5 minutes

When you're traveling through a post-apocalyptic wasteland, a la Mad Max, and your caravan of drifters happens to stumble upon the remnants of a burned out storefront, you'll walk in there and there will be a zombie AD, and he will offer you a DD for ten cans of corn and a dozen boxes of Twinkies.

Now wake up from your fever dream, OP.

[enjoythemusic]

So you're a planner Lucifer. Keep those plans open and check back often. Thanks for visiting TRF, we hope you enjoy your stay.

[GoingPlaces]

Plan well then...

[Mr. Miami]

I wonder if the AD I’m working with would at least discount tax on the PM YM I plan on ordering when they open up. Although I feel weird to ask since this is my first purchase with this AD.

OP, for a great discount, forego AD and try DSW
