Went in to purchase a His and Hers pair of Seamaster 300 Blue Dials.

Quoted me $4400.00 each.
I asked if he could do better so he left to talk to his manager.
Came back 5 minutes later and offered a portfolio and Omega pen, no discount!

Walked out.

Is list price the normal at the boutiques

As far as I've always heard, you are correct, No Discount.

flw · 1 September 2015, 04:16 AM

If you want/need a discount, you should go to an AD. The boutiques will not charge less than list price ... but they're the only place to get the official Omega swag.

The service at every boutique I've ever visited has been exceptional. Was given the latest issue of the Omega Lifetime magazine last time I stopped by. It's very nicely made and has some great stuff in it. More of a book than a magazine.

But they do not discount.

Excellent service, but no discounts. That's been my experience in the U.S. There was a discount in Italy (Rome) at the boutique, but not very much.

Emerald4194 · 1 September 2015, 06:19 AM

Yup, at my boutique, I have tried a few times and never got a discount. Yea the swag is nice, would prefer the discount. Just went through them to get a LE Bond Seamaster 300.

Sent you a PM.

Great service at the boutiques, but you will pay full list.

They can keep the padfolio and pen if I can keep the my extra $2,000.00. Who would pay full retail on an Omega? I do think the boutiques are nice and the staff knowledgeable, but 20%-30% discounts can be had with ease at AD's.

Jaycnyp · 5 September 2015, 05:55 AM

I agree, for a discount, AD or trusted seller is the only way to go!

I' m curious: why do people expect discounts all the time?

Because with little effort they are available all the time. Especially on Omegas.
