If you search for Vegas on here you'll find a lot of opinions on dealers there. The majority opinion is that you can usually find a better discount elsewhere, but it's always worth a shot. Retail for a World goes from $5560 on a leather strap to $6800 on a steel bracelet, if you're going for a stainless steel model. Discounts of around 25% are pretty common in the states. Good luck.

4800 to 5200 is a normal price for a stainless World from an AD

I just bought a SOHC in Vegas last month. Discounts offered by ADs varied widely. At Encore I was told Steve Wynn didn't allow any discounts. Mirage said probably in the 10% range but unequivably said they wouldn't get to 20%. Toureneau in Caeser's got to 18%. I ended up buying from Horologio in Venetian at 20%, and since they didn't what I wanted in stock they ordered one directly from CT. Great overall experience there FWIW. Good luck.

PS - I went out thinking I could get better than 20% but didn't, don't know if it's my bad skills or Vegas economics. My only local AD starts, and ends, at 20%.

I wouldn't recommend buying anything without at least a 30% discount. I would also recommend having it shipped from out of state so you can avoid paying sales tax.

Buy from the AD I sent you, you can avoid sales tax and you have a better chance at getting a better price than any of the Vegas ADs

I'm pretty sure I know who jnelson PM'd you about. I would highly recommend buying from the person in the PM instead of anyone in Vegas.

Just got back from Vegas on Friday. I had the intention of buying a Navi World but what I found was that the dealers don't give you much off the list price maybe 10-15% a little more if you work them walk away and then come back say the next day. I wasn't impressed at all. I went to every major watch store. Also the Navi World with a stainless bracelet is the same list price as it is here in Canada $6800. I am much better off going to my local dealer La Swiss and buying something from them or trying to get something off the forum.
