PAM 111 Purchase, Discount Possible?

Hi everyone!

I know this comes up a lot but what is the normal discount i can ask for at an AD? Now that there is a price increase coming up, i feel obligated to purchase my PAM 111 more than ever! hahaha

I'm not a frequent shopper at any AD and the place I bought my Rolex sub c didn't give me a discount on it(probably since it JUST CAME OUT WHEN I BOUGHT IT). I don't buy watches often because i have to save up for them. So i feel like i might be out of luck.

Any suggestions? If I cant purchase new at a great deal, then pre-owned here I come!

Thanks in advance,

You can always try, since this is your second watch you might have better luck at the same AD.

You might not be able to get any, if thats the case try for an extra strap. Last one I got, I recieved a 10% discount.

from my experience, ADs won't give discounts, but will give credit towards OEM strap purchases (10%), and boutiques are even more stingy.

best BNIB price? trusted TRF seller.

not a lot of time until august 1, so, get moving and pick up that 111!

mate I see your new so a friendly tip,it's best to start your own thread rather than ask a question in someone else's thread,you wll most likely get a better number of relies that way and it also helps keep the op's thread on track

very unlikely in my experience and I would think with the price increase coming up soon, even less likely.

I noticed that as well three different names.. No feedback in the who's who section...

thread back on track now.

good luck with a discount this close to the increase with an AD.
