Any suggestions for negotiating with an AD when ordering online? Trying to avoid going to a retail location unnecessarily during COVID.

Looking at ordering a Seamaster and sent an email to an AD but they didn’t seem to want to play.

Common sense dude, call them.
No dealer is going to want to put discounts in writing that you can email to everyone and say “Hey, this AD offering huge discounts’” when their name is attached.

Or that you can email to another AD and say “can you beat this?”

My experience is that the more specific (model, timeline, etc.) you get the more discount they are willing to offer. My AD straight up offered me a 25% discount on a Seamaster model when he felt I was serious.

Unless you need to develop a relationship with a particular AD (e.g., future Daytona allocation), you should get a list of phone numbers for various ADs, call them sequentially at a non-busy time and say “I’m calling around looking for an xxx. Do you have one and if so, what’s your best price?”. Rinse and repeat until you have the deal you want. Be friendly.

Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks

FTX is a prime example of what’s going on in tech the last couple years. So many people who have NO CLUE what they’re doing, hired by a friend, got handed a hefty 6 figure salary…then watched Netflix and tracked for 2-3 years since Covid started. We all know people who don’t do much and have some fancy made up title, we’re just seeing the repercussions of it all now. Mass layoffs is no surprise…and it’s all admin positions nothing really important.
