IWC Dealers (Deals!)

[Knurlling 0]

 

Hi guys,

I'm in the market for my first IWC, and my heart is set on a Portuguese 3714.

I feel like the retail price is a bit much, and am wondering if anyone can recommend a good dealer who can offer discount pricing?

I live in Toronto, Canada and am wide open to suggestions.

Thanks a bunch!

Matt

Did you try haggling them down? If so how did it go? There is a large mark up on luxury watches (all of them) and depending on what you are after you can get some decent discounts on the RRP

I haven't yet attempted to negotiate with the retailers. All of my previous watches were purchased through personal references. They were all AD's, but they seem to give you the 20% discount right off the bat if you're somehow referred or "connected" to a good friend or client. I have these contacts for Rolex and Omega, but not IWC.

Will keep you posted should someone come to the rescue! I agree with you that there is a large mark up, and with a bit of networking nobody should have to pay RRP.

Hello Matt,

Did you find any leads?

I am on the market for a new IWC Aquatimer Chrono Cousteau edition IW376805 on a long strap, so maybe we should meet at Humbertown Jewellers and see what they can offer us?

I would think that this applies everywhere else, but here even in Western Australia, there is only one Retailer, and I was offered 20% off the RRP. Haggle/bargain hard!

I am also in the market for an IWC in the Toronto area. Very slim pickings here for AD. Looking for a double Chrono INGY titanium blue #'s. I am very well connected with other brand AD's as well but the best I've done regarding the IWC is 29%. I was in the States a few weeks ago and should have bought there. Tourneau came down 43% but with the exchange and taxes it didn't make sense. Still looking.

Have you considered that the 'Loonie' has fallen off a cliff?

I'm afraid IWC Canada will raise the prices due to weak Canadian dollar soon.

If you are looking for something I think it's time to pay an AD a visit before MSRP in CAD goes up to catch MSRP in USD, if it hasn't done so already.

Old MSRP in CAD plus a small discount could end up in an amazing price when you convert it to USD and compare with US offers.
