I know a contact at an AD. I'll check if he can offer you the 20% discount I have been offered.

Back in a minute!

Not heard better than 20% on IWCs though. And WoS aren't exactly renowned for their deals.

My AD has a silver dial Porto in stock. I assume the one with the blue hands. I have told him to expect your call. PS - no connection, other than I am considering buying a Pilot from him!

I bought mine (white face) a few weeks ago.

Fantastic watch, you'll love it.

This time last year, I and a couple of others from PH bought IWC watches from Simon Oxby from Berrys in Leeds (Albion Street). All done over the phone and very happy with the result.

I got 20% off at an AD (won't name names). WoS at Royal Exchange laughed at me when I asked for a discount and told me they "sell most of these over list price". Cocks.

I bought from fraser Hart at Brent Cross but I'll never go back. Service is not good and they don't reply to emails.

I bought mine in Barbados and got 30%, (I also paid in USD when $2=£1. No help now I admit!)
A long way to go for an extra 10% I know, but if you want a nice holiday as well....

I bought mine in Singapore Duty Free, they had a pretty good selection and I saved about £1000, and you'll save more I should think on the more expensive models, so it's probably worth the flight bizarrely!

Got mine from these guys:

Great to deal with and even traded an old Omega, negotiated around 25% off too. They have one in stock too.
