    Grand Seiko Discount

    Afternoon all, I’m interested in a GS SBGW231 with an RRP of £3900.

    What sort of discount should I be aiming for on one of these?

    It’s not a particularly desirable or limited run model.

    Watches of Mayfair list them at just under 3400 (-13%) but never used them and assume they are a grey dealer?

    Watchfinder have a 6 month old one at £3315 and there's always a deal to be had. I got around 17% off their list price just by asking. You might get it for around the £2950 mark.

    20% should be achievable.

    I have been following the pricing of this watch for a while as it’s one of the few GS that I like.

    Jura seem to offer 10% on signing up to them and chrono24 have them at a very good price from Japan that even factoring in import charges it will still be about 3K

    We can only offer a price match service so at the moment it would be £3,900.00 with finance.”

    That wasn’t what I expected.

    What about the SBGW235 which comes with a beads-of-rice style bracelet. One here on that well-known online auction site that I spotted recently: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154590840...IAAOSwKG5hLTHS

    That's a beauty! I have an awful feeling that buying my first one might be a very slippery GS slope :(

    Hoping to join the GS club soon and looking at green dials. Has anyone handled or owned a SBGE257G or SBGJ251G? Watches of Mayfair seem to have the best prices at the moment.

    Try on the phone, you might have more luck. ADs can be a little touchy about putting discounts in writing sometimes in my (granted limited) experience.

    I recently messaged every GS dealer in the UK asking if they could discount a White Birch by 20%.Some didn’t reply,some replied but couldnt discount that much.One dealer accepted the challenge and sold me a watch.
