Is it inappropriate to ask(with courtesy, of course) for discounts at Cartier boutiques? I’m potentially interested in a De Santos down the line; I’ve come across some conflicting information on this and wanted to make sure that I follow proper etiquette and not make an unnecessary bad impression if I can help it.

Does anyone have experience dealing with MT timepieces that advertise on Chrono Grabs? Are they a trusted reliable dealer? Gerry11

Are there any generally accepted conventions when negotiating with a dealer for a vintage watch? Is it always worth seeing the dealer will take less than asking price, or is that bad form if review of comps suggests the asking price is fair?

Is this a fair price for a Rolex Date Just 41 Wimbledon? The watch is two tone gold, oyster bracelet, fluted bezel, and the manufacturer's warranty runs to the end of December 2028, Thanks Gerry

I want to order a couple of nice watch straps, likely made from ostrich and lizard. I know of Aaron Bespoke, Delugs, etc. Are there any recommendations for or against those options or does the Collective have any other sources I should look at. Thank you!
