Omega AD vs Boutique

Hello,
My question is where better to buy a new Omega. Last time I was in the new AD, they got me a fifteen percent discount on every model without asking. Can I expect any discounts in boutique or will I have to pay full price. Do you recommend buying Omegas in AD or boutique?

Personally I think on the whole, you’ll get better pricing from an AD because they handle other brands and maybe jewelry which gives them a bit more latitude in pricing.

Boutiques are where you go to get the difficult to find references or boutique only references.

Ad's are the way to go if you are looking for a discount. My Boutique experience is they will typically add a strap or two to round out the deal but no discounting.

Boutiques cannot or will not offer discounts. I always call around or visit Omega AD’s to see what they will offer for discounts. Typically between 10-15%. Some AD’s will not offer discounts, in which case I pass.
