Checked out an Omega Seamaster PO (215.30.44.21.03.001) today at an AD - would be my first nice watch and purchase through the AD. Should I expect any ability to negotiate price? Any other watches I should consider instead? This group has been amazing with regards to information and the pinned posts invaluable, but wanted to bring it to the experts directly.

Historically speaking, yes you should be able to get a nice discount, even up to 20% (although that’s typically if you have a purchase history). But in the last few months Omega told ADs to stop giving discounts. But also, plenty of ADs didn’t listen. I’d imagine something in the realm of 10% off is doable these days. If you buy from an out of state AD, they usually won’t charge you sales tax, they make you pay for shipping but the $50 shipping fee is much less than the sales tax would be (obvi if they still DO charge you sales tax, just don’t buy from them and try a different place)

Thanks for the detailed response!

Similar to the above, when I bought my SMP less than a year ago, I got about 10% off and a free rubber strap (which is worth a couple hundred). Can’t attest as to whether things have changed since though

Where can I find a financial coach/planner that doesn’t charge $1500/yr? I’m not looking for a full on advisor to manage my money, just someone to help me look through my investments (401k, HSA) and other accounts to make sure I’m taking advantage of the right opportunities and have the right allocations & risk assigned. No trolls please. I’m somewhat new to this and come from a very financially-illiterate family, so I’m trying to get started on the right foot. Thank you!

Hey Fish,

I was just wondering what your opinion was on the company Revature? I kind of wish I could do it, but I have two kids and cannot relocate. I’m just having a really hard time getting a job as an entry level front end developer. Does anyone know of a company like revature, but where you don’t have to relocate? Please let me know.

El Primero savants, what do you think of this one? I like that it has the vintage style chrono seconds hand and the general retro handset and font. and I love that it uses the 400 movement which has the yellow gears which just looks so much better to me than the 3600. But it’s online only so no AD discount, and not sure it’s worth the premium over the new Original line. I think I also prefer having the grey sub dials, although I love the story behind this one. What are your thoughts?

Looking to buy a Rolex. I am in Brazil for work and went to a local AD to find that it’s more expensive than in the US. I thought (my fault I guess) that it would be cheaper to buy it outside the US?
