Any tips for negotiating a discount looking at buying an omega? (first luxury purchase) should I go to the omega store or an AD?

When I bought my sapphire sandwich I told the AD that I would buy it right now for a 20% discount. If they couldn’t meet that I would leave. I handed him the credit card with that offer to show I was serious. I left 10 mins later with a watch that was perfectly sized

Federico Talks Watches (on YouTube) has a few good videos about how to negotiate with ADs. Depending on the model, you can target somewhere between 10-20% off at an AD but make sure you say "I'm prepared to buy right now if we can make this work" as they are more likely to make the deal if they believe you are serious and will buy today.

Maybe at an AD. I went to a boutique recently and they wouldn’t take $1 off MSRP

The boutique in nyc ws able to negotiate prices. I was surprised to see a boutique do that.

Try with an AD and just state that you saw similar models selling new in this range, and you were wondering if you could get a discount to a comparable price. Plus if you’re traveling to london, I would try and buy it there because you could save some more with the VAT tax refund

Omega boutiques are company owned and won’t budge on price. Go to an AD, they’ll typically knock 20% off for you.

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use.

If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?

My in-laws used to own a jewelry store, and they had this Omega quartz watch in their storage. I can understand why this wasn’t sold during their clearance sale lol. I had no idea Omega made stuff like this in 1987! I guess they couldn’t help it after the rise of quartz watches in the 70s to 80s. I doubt they’re worth anything even to this day. I see them on eBay for $700-1200, so who knows…
