Grand Seiko purchase question

[ddaly12]

Anyone have any luck getting a discount on new GS watches from an authorized dealer? I visited the Seiko boutique in midtown Manhattan last year and the sales reps implied that there would not be much wiggle room on msrp. Just wondering if others have had a similar or different experience.

Alternatively, are there any grey dealers that specialize in GS that could be recommended?

I've also seen some pre-owned examples in the internet and the FS forum on this sight, but availability and selection doesn't seems to be very robust.

Thanks!

Have a chat with Arizona Finetime, Toppers Jewlery, Timeless Luxury, and Exquisite Timepieces.
If you’re after Boutique specific Ltd Ed models, Timeless are the only independent officially able to offer those pieces.
You could try Joe at the Miami Boutique, but I suspect his hands will be somewhat tied – still, if you don’t ask, you won’t get.

Check with Govberg, they're an AD for Grand Seiko. They also have quite a few preowned as well.

Seiyajapan and Higuchi are both recommended often on the Watchuseek GS forum, if you want to order directly from Japan. They may also carry models not available in the US.
