From what ive been told, they get them for cost or something like 40-50% off, and can only buy once per year. That was just one AD though, so YMMV. |

As long as he pays Breitling, it seems to me that the dealer can buy for cost when ever and what ever personal watch he wants. During college, I worked for a bicycle shop. Rarely, manufactures would sell us parts for below dealer cost so that we could use them and recommend them first hand to customers. That was pretty cool. |

Here in Canada it's one piece a year and it's tracked very closely, but it's close to cost on a limited number of models. |

breitling knows because once or twice a year, all manufacturers do this, the employees of the ad's can buy a watch for themself for less than the normal store cost, they buy them right from breitlings, so yeah, they know. |

If I buy a watch for myself, I usually get 10 to 20% extra discount on my normal price. Depends on the model. But my agent checks personally, which watch I wear... BG Alien |

I would assume these "extra" deals are if they are getting a discount off their normal cost - I'm sure if they want to "buy from themself at zero profit" (aka NOT get any extra discount) they can |

As stated here, it's closely monitored. Also remember, that the vast majority of people at ADs are just employees of a corporation. |

Are you saying, that the owners of ADs, for example, have to pay full price if they want more than 1 breitling per year? It doesn't seem fair to them. |

Not necessarily full price, but not dealer discount either - the same price that a good customer could negotiate. It's a restriction imposed by Breitling to prevent profiteering, inflating sales volumes, etc. |
