In answer to your question, then, with this starting point, expect a 25-35% mark-down from sticker and expect that to still be about 300% of "value".
Or find an internet friend with back-alley TCOTU wholesale watch sales connections and get a hook-up. Or go to the website that was posted last year right before my big watch purchase and expect to pay 10% below whatever you would end up paying in the jewelry retail store (please say it isn't in a mall too).
So many options!

Buying a watch from a brick and mortar store makes you a sucker. A pussy ass sucker ass.
I have a jeweler I use for all of my jewelry purchases. I trust him and can pretty much count on paying 50% of whatever he charges at retail. When I wanted to buy an Ebel, I looked on the internet, found
www.prestigetime.com and priced the model I wanted to buy, and then called my jeweler. When I told him what I could buy it there for, he told me I should buy it from them... and I did.
