You are unwilling to share the name of the AD for others to buy at similar large discounts. Everyone will buy at your AD for the large discounts if this is true.

So that a bunch of people on the Internet can hassle the dealer for big discounts on everything?

What's wrong with asking for discount??????

SIC - I got a 5% discount for an Omega at Watches of Switzerland (one of the local AD for Omega) Paragon yesterday.

I have pm you before but you did not share. I'm also a nice guy from the forum.

Why don't you let me buy some nice Pateks at your deeply discounted price I totally don't understand. I promise I will donate % of the savings to a charity.

I haven't been offered that reference the OP posted, but I have been offered the Pilot ref.

Just the mention of its polarizing visual presence affecting its value (two crowns opposite the main crown) unlocked a discount.

US-based ADs will work a deal for low demand ref. - PP from Geneva can't dictate the final price - and no...I'm not naming the Roswell AD

Not surprised, you constantly hound other forum members and insinuate they are lying whenever they say they have received a discount on Patek

That's a lie. I have only ever PM 1 person for discount on Patek. And only 1 PM - if that is considered hounding then I'm guilty.

Do not tell them I sent you!
They may say "no soup for you!"
