Ignorance is high in this thread.
If TDs offer free replacement on shipment that gets lost that alone should give you an idea about the margins.
Exactly.
Dealers must make significant margins.
There seems to be a rumour on the forums that dealers only make $30/ unit on a typical
High demand watch.
That’s completely BS, you only have to talk to well established Chinese dealers that offer the same factory watches for typically $100ish less (depending on model etc).
Ain’t complaining.....just saying.
Of course TDs offer other benefits (we know that....no need to list them here) and +/- $200 ain’t a big deal for me if the transaction is hassle free and smooth.
