I spoke with my AD today about an ETA on the SA Blacksteel and she was unable to give an definite date. I have been discussing the watch with her for a while now and she said that they will not be giving a discount since this is a limit edition and that they have already have had several inquiries. I am not sure if she is being completely honest with me or if she is just trying to sell this watch at full retail. Any suggestions on how to handle them?


wait them out...either they have people or not. do you trust them? or are they bluffing you?

It's always a gamble. The longer you wait the more you can reduce the price, but you also risk someone else popping in and spending all the money full retail just to get the watch.

I've made a few great deals by waiting, but I also "lost" a few watches this way.

Hi Boothba,

I have very good, ongoing relationship with my AD but he will never discount the LE models during the first few months after release. Only if they (rarely) hang around in the shop for many months will he negotiate on price.

That is in the UK. If you are in the USA, where discounts are more willingly given, I guess you may have a different experience.

Nick

The AS Blacksteel was relatively easy to get ahold of 6 months after it first hit ADs and that was only $2,000. I got mine in April for almost my normal discount. I'm sure that in the New Year there will be deals to be had.
