No discount on new Seamaster?

Visited my local AD to get a good sense of the size difference between the new and older model. Was able to get a 15% on the outgoing model but he wouldn't budge on the newest one. He had at least two blues on SS in the store. Anybody else experienced this as well?

I'm still on the fence between the two models. Would prefer the smaller size but at the same time appreciate the future proof aspect of the newer model.The new HV cap didn't really bother me as much. The new blue color is definitely a shade lighter and plays with the light a lot more. Stunning watch. Would have pulled the trigger but just can't overcome the idea of paying retail.

I have the outgoing model and the 2531. I picked up the 2018 blue one on bracelet in December for 4K from my AD. They knocked $850 off without me even asking.

As far as how it wears, I love it. My smpc hasn’t been worn since I grabbed this one.

Wow that's great! Where is your AD?

I was at an AD located on the Las Vegas strip and managed to get a discount on a new one a couple weeks back, which as you know is a very high-traffic area. They're trying to milk as much as they can from you before the Seamaster stock catches up with demand. Find a different AD.

Are you a regular customer hence the discount? I'm wondering if I should just cold call them and see if I can get the same deal..
