Typical AD discount for 36mm DJ?
Can you chime in on the discount I should offer my AD? My wife wants a 36mm DJ Stainless with black face and diamond hour markers. They have one that has been on the shelf for quite some time. I don't want to be offensive, but I know that DJ36's aren't the hottest thing going right now.

The topic comes up every week. Depends on if business is good or bad. Depends on if you are a regular customer. Depends on the day of the week.

I would be surprised any AD offering a discount right now, even on DJ. That's why I buy grey market.

5-10 percent is very reasonable.

I agree. Why pay MSRP + tax at an AD when you can buy it for 25% off MSRP and no tax from grey market when it comes to the DJ. Even if the AD offered 10%, that still means you're leaving 25% discount off the table. AD would have to offer 35% off to match grey market when it comes to new DJs.

15 to 30 percent. 25% due to diamond dial would be my minimum.

My AD offered 30% off on a Day Date 36 they wanted to move to make room for a 40mm. But when I came back, they said they hadn’t offered 30% and said the best they could do would be more like 25%.

I got offered 10% without asking on a DJ, so 15-20 is very reasonable.
