I just went THG today and was told 12%, controlled by Richemont. Didn't try to bargain though, coz not planning to buy today.

anyone knows the retail price for IWC Portofino w/ and w/o disc? TIA!

[estrangable]

really?? More than 25% off? I went to the Ion outlet at level 2 and ask for a discount for 3717, the IWC lady gave me a exasperated look as if i am asking for the sky and told me IWC watches do not have discounts as these are high end prestigous watches. After much discussion, she told me the most she can do is to give me one more leather strap and extend the warranty by 6 months...

That's pretty much the standard reply from IWC boutique. The boutique does not give much discount if any at all. best offer I got from them was 5% + free straps. AD's usually provide a much better offer.

Holy smoke, guys! Why are we even talking about discounts from the watch boutiques ?! There is absolutely no discount, or very little and standard discounts given, by the boutiques. It is the ADs who are slightly more generous in giving better discounts; NOT the boutiques.

No discount from boutiques and I would be surprised if they give. Most likely it will be freebies (like extra strap, catalogue, etc.). when you purchase from them.

Agree on the controlled discount. They are quite strict right now. Also, amount of discount from AD varies from person to person. Depending on many factors. But again, to get more than 25% from an IWC AD in Singapore will be considered very good already.
