Do actual manufacturer's boutiques offer discounts like ADs? Or it is what it is?

Manufacture boutiques are really an attempt to ramp up the brand experience rather than just another brand at an AD, and they cut out the middle man (as they are factory owned). List price is comparable but you will find it harder to get as sizeable a discount in a boutique compared to an AD.

Ok, I figured they wouldn't have the best discounts if discounts at all. Honestly, I guess your'e right, I probably would pay the extra 1000 or two, or three..., just to have the experience of going to a boutique, especially in NY. I recently went to a Cartier boutique on 5th Avenue and it was absolutely amazing. It made me feel kinda cool. Haha. It was so professional and all, with the people opening the doors for you. Very nice! :D

I would go there and browse, and then buy it from my favorite AD. TBH, if you wanna blow a few extra grand, a nice vacation will be a much better experience than a watch boutique.
