BLNR - Any Suggestions for AD's that will Discount?

As the thread suggests I am looking to get one of these. I've asked at a couple of AD's in London and been met with a flat no. Previously managed to negotiate discounts on other watches, and as I work around the country can pick up from most places. Does anyone know of a United Kingdom AD that would look at doing a deal?

Asking to physically find one in an AD in the UK for sale might be a more realistic question from what I've heard recently. Good luck :).

Anyone know the price in pounds? If we are from the US, are we eligible for VAT refund, if so how much? Wondering even at full price in UK, is it still a better purchase than lets saying buying in NYC (which is where I am from).

Thanks in advance
Love reading the forums

You will have to pay full retail at an AD in the UK. Pay cash and ask for a free gift. The wallets are worth around £150 on the bay.

Can't imagine any AD offering for less than full price, except maybe to a particularly prized and long term customer. Most AD's get only the occasional piece.

So a 10% discount is what's holding you up on a watch that costs £££ anyway?

I don't care about 10%, I was just wondering the pricing.
If I found it at the Ex-VAT price (full price) I would be a buyer. I am visiting London for a few days this week, can anyone recommend an AD?

Not in a hurry for it. If I don't like the piece after a little while the supply price makes a huge difference in what I can get back.

If you go to Regent Street / Piccadilly Circus you have a couple of Mappin and Webb stores and a large Watches of Switzerland store within 5 minute walk.

Buy from the forums and and save but if you really want to go through an AD i wouldn't even consider it without at least a 10% and maybe a gift.
