When I was looking at those two Breitlings this year, I found them at a Breitling authorized dealer very close to my house. They were charging MSRP. There is another authorized Breitling dealer in Houston that had one of the watches at a discount. I think that a lot of dealers sell at a small discount, but when you're spending that kind of dough, 5% or 10% is big. I would have definitely done some haggling with them if I had decided to buy. I suppose that since you're looking at the LE watch, they might not want to give you a discount, but then, when was the watch released, and how long has it been sitting on their shelf? That sort of thing can be motivating to them.

We bought our wedding rings and my wife's engagement ring at a fairly ritzy designer jewelry store this summer. They gave us a 10% discount without us even asking.
