I still can get 15% off from official AD but this is not that important having in mind that prices went far more in last 3-4 years :)
under 5k vs 8k now for a speedy event you get 20% it is more than you paid then, speaking AD, grey that's a different story as other stated you can get best prices from them as always, course speaking Omega not other brands .... |

I hate dealing with boutiques in general. The sales staff tend to be more pretentious and oddly less informed that a family run AD. Certainly there are exceptions, but I've never really gone into a Rolex or Omega boutique and been impressed with much other than maybe a wider selection.
Boutique are extremely unlikely to offer you any discount. They are valuable in the sense that it seems easier to get rare or limited pieces (especially from Omega) from a boutique. |

Boutiques won't offer discounts but you can get them to throw in extra straps and accessories for free

No discounts from boutiques….Speedy’s I’ve seen anywhere from 12-15%….SMP 15-18%. Just from personal experience.

10-20% here on the West Coast from ADs. No discounts as mentioned by others at the Boutique. They'll give you some swag, or perhaps an extra strap but that's it.

My boutique has offered me discounts on both Speedmaster and Seamaster. Not sure how much as I was only window shopping at the time but this was without me asking

Do you guys find there is a difference between a mom and pop AD vs a chain (e.g. watches of Switzerland)?

Does any Boutique from any company ever offer a discount? That was the whole idea of company owned boutiques in the first place to maintain pricing and prevent discounting.

15% at my AD. Nothing at any of the boutiques ever. Always full retail there.

This is true but the counterpoint is. If boutique offered you -10 that’s loads better than wholesale to AD for -33 or whatever
