·Well, the dealer is expected to make a profit --- dealer prices. Can't get around that really unless he needs to unload, for whatever reason.If the buyer is also looking to trade then the dealer's profit is expected to go up, not down.
The way I usually approach negotiation in western societies is to think of a price that you are ready to pay (say 20k) and offer an amount that is reduced by an equal amount of the difference (27.5 - 20 = 7.5k difference ) so counteroffer of about 20k -7.5k = 12.5k.
Negotiation needs to be dispassionate. The dealer may pull out his violin and complain that you are killing him but forget about these histrionics, and take your time and enjoy the show. In the end a good deal is when everyone is happy. There is no guarantee that an agreement will be reached though.

In this case he is valuing his watch at almost 8x mine, IMHO something of a piss take. At this point negotiations ended.
