With car sales, you can typically stroll into a dealership on the last day of the month/quarter/year and get a good deal on a car (dependent on your negotiation skills of course). Is that the same with watches? Can I walk into an AD a few hours before they close on the last day of the month, and score a deal I wouldn't otherwise be offered the first day of the month?
Is there a "best" time of the month/year to buy a watch from an AD, like a car?

The last week of the fiscal month if the store hasn't made goal.

Different structure I believe. I am close enough to the car industry to know that their month end bonuses are most of their salary. So if they just need one more sale to hit their bonuses, they offer part of their bonus off of the car as incentive to get you to buy. After all, a slight bonus is better than no bonus even if the customer benefits the most out of it.
So month end is basically what the General Manager is willing to do to make the store targets and what the sales person is willing to do to hit their month end bonus. Usually the combination is quite decent.
Not sure how watch sales are structured but all of my guys tell me they don't get bonuses. I call BS but I don't have any connections there to know for sure. Since they seem to act the same early or late month, I don't think it's quite the same.

Watchbreath answered the questions with, "The last week of the fiscal month if the store hasn't made goal." If it has made it's goal, good luck.

I've should have said, last day, I've seen some real panic situations, especially if there're just a few bucks away. It's like the clock in 'High Noon'.
