Different Location Different Experience

hi,
in my case,
i got more Discount when purchasing from Local Boutique Stores,
and i get more WARRANTY Time and Service~!!!
the Warranty and Service Of My JLC Watch saves ME alot Of Money,
if you buy from a retailer at my Location,
you only get 1 Year's WARRANTY and for the SERVICE and Technical Stuff,
The Retailer Needs to Send it out to the Boutique Store for Servicing....Which in Turn takes a longer time period.....
the Boutique offers 4 Year's Of WARRANTY.....4 Times the length of the Retailer.....
don't underestimate the Service costs....some times it runs into the $$$Thousands / service....
and ya i get more Discount from Local Boutiques....although not much compared to the retailer (eg.: Boutique: 25% Discount / Reatiler: 22% Discount),
Hope this proves helpful~!!!
Thanks

my 2-cent worth thought is that at the end of the day, Boutique and AD are targeting for different type of customers. if someone is cost concerned, he/she will go for a shop that can offer better discount. but someone as you said, he/she will stick on the...

Where I am if you want to see a high end JLC watch(Duometre,minute repeater,Skeleton and so on..),you have to go to high end ADs. JLC boutique has a very modest range similar to the one of an airport.Its sad but that s the way it is. I always wondered why...
Very good information...

I haven't yet purchased from a boutique shop as the watches I had weren't special editions or something similar. I definitely agree that it comes down to what kind of watch you wish to buy. If it was a unique, rare piece the extra money you spend at a bou...

In some countries, boutique shops are sometimes run by local ADs. For example, Rolex boutique shops in Hong Kong are owned by a local watch & jewelry retail group. You can pretty much consider them as ADs that carry only one brand. To decide whether t...
