As above really, looking to buy a super avenger 2, previously I've had 10-15% so wondered if that is realistic for a cash sale.

Cheers

Why not go to a third party supplier and save 30%+?

Banks Lyon are a forum sponsor, Andrew Michaels are also recommended. Heavy price to pay with grey market in my opinion with no warranty.

Retail price is £4565.00 Andrew Michael's website shows no discount offered but obviously an enquiry might get you somewhere? Mark Worthington in Wilmslow, Cheshire got a 2016 pre- owned; supplied by them (blue dial) for £3595.00 with manufacturers warranty until 2018.

'Respectable' UK greys source their watches in ways which preserve the manufacturer warranty. I.e. there are 'light grey' (AD-sourced with manufacturer warranty) and 'dark grey' (dubiously sourced, own warranty only, which is of no use).

But that said I wouldn't advocate that route: I have myself only bought Breitlings from UK ADs, for the extra peace of mind. The 2 UK ADs whom Roff mentions are excellent.

Bought my new SA2 from Goldsmiths today for £3652 which is 20% off, really happy with the discount and got the watch there and then. £913 saved, amazes me that people pay full price but the sales person said 95% people do!

I recently purchased my Avenger II Seawolf for £2300 including a genuine Breitling warranty; this is more than 1k under RRP. This is what's described below as the "light grey" market. I have a good supplier, if you would like the details PM me.
