GS have just gone up by 2-3% so less than the Swiss brands. I've had a couple of GS from watches of Mayfair which do seem to be the best prices. Their web and in store prices are lower than their C24 listings. I think they're stock is imported judging by their constantly slightly fluctuating prices and 2-3 week lead times. They do have some stock in store and i do get emails from them from time to time saying if there's anything I'm looking at they might be able to do a slightly better price than advertised. I'd expect a new customer certainly in store could negotiate a little as I've only bought a couple of cheap quartz's from them last year so I'm certainly not getting any special treatment.
Thanks. Got hold of them, s/h 'best offer' was the same as a price as I finally managed to get a new watch elsewhere. Achieved 18% off which seemed pretty reasonable, could have gone s/h for circa £400 less, from chrono24, but this way I have provenance and dodge the customs lottery. ~ Si
Sounds like you got a good deal. Watches of Mayfair advertised prices average 17% off rrp. I have seen some great discounts on some ex display models from AD's but the chance of one of those being the model you want are pretty slim. What have you got coming a limited edition snowflake?
