• Limited edition yet they seem to have a few kicking around still; how would someone approach the subject of a more sensible price for it, should someone wander in to one of their shops?

  • I don't think you will get any discount out of the Grand Seiko boutiques without a history of purchases. I think @Soul got discount from a distributor (can't remember which) on his snowflake. Watches of Mayfair seem to offer discount on GS, but don't know if they would source the model.

  • Watches of Mayfair are grey market not AD, hence the solid discounts. I shouldn’t think you’d get much of a discount out of the London GS boutique, if anything. Which sucks because it seems that ADs in the US are pretty happy to.

  • You won't get a discount from a GS boutique full stop. Certainly not in the U.S.

    ADs in the U.S. have stopped discounting - the ADs worth their salt anyway, such as Topper and Timeless Lux. Other smaller ADs may give a few percent off, but nothing like the 20% they offered me last year when buying a GS. Retail on a SBGN003 is $3200 before tax. The lowest I could find was $3000. Used in almost new condition was trading around $2400 a month or so ago, so it just made more sense to not buy new. Can order them from Japan for around $2600 IIRC.

    Edit: I did not buy whatsoever if that wasn't obvious.

  • I got both my Grand Seiko's from Jura watches. First one i got about 5% off and did 0% finance. Second one i paid cash and got 12%.

    They have it in stock....
