What ‘gesture’ did the AD offer?
So I asked the AD for a discount on an Omega on the basis several website offer 10-15% automatically and was advised we don’t discount, but we may offer a gesture.
So now we have wish lists and gestures ..
What’s the best gesture on a Speedy racer I can get ?
None yet as I don’t want to go much further without being certain on the model. If they say yes 10% I would feel I have to buy so want to be certain.
I’m thinking the 44mm speedy racer auto.
I guess they mean they'll give a gesture of a middle finger to those requesting discounts
Reminds me of a visit to a Breitling boutique a couple of years ago. The very attractive assistant manager, skirt way too short and shirt way too unbuttoned, refused a discount but winked and said there were many things she could do to make it worth my while. No deal as I had my daughter with me but I really must go back one day!
I think this is the gesture they’re offering.
Phil,
Thank you. I think I could get the 10-15% at several places, especially online, but I’ve been trying to put purchases through the same AD to keep the sales history in a limited number of places.
Surprised the racing speedy isn’t a big seller, is it the relative price against the speedy ? I have chunky wrists and think the speedy may be a little small.
It'll be a strap. They love using a strap as the gesture because cost price to them is probably £20 yet it looks like you are getting £200.
I get online discount codes through for Ernest Jones, every time I try and use them against a Moonwatch they don’t work.

Our Rolex and Omega AD has just given my wife and I a great gesture. We have first class rail travel to London (from Cheshire), a trip to the Royal Geographical Society to view the Everest expedition memorabilia, evening meal at Rolex St James, night in a 5* hotel, and an open return ticket the following day so we can spend some time in London doing what we want to do.
That's customer service and a gesture worth having! It is also why I don't try and haggle on the price of new watches with them too much.
Was that for any model. I got an flat denial on a BB58 a couple of months ago...no chance. Seems very hit-and-miss. I've also had a refusal at Ernest Jones when I was looking for a discount off a Speedy. The assistant said she could not discount Omega unless it was a company wide sale on a model. Trouble with all of this is that it's so hard working out if the sales assistants are telling the truth or not!
