pretty much all places have the ability to make the same deals. You just have to know how to work the people.
Expect at least 15% off, and if they aren't willing to do that, come back another day and try again. The more the see you, the more serious they will take you and be willing to work a price. Also, it helps to build a relationship with specific people.
If you know a lot about the specific product and how old it is/how long it's been in the store, you know how much they can move the price. If things have been in for more then a year, expect up to about 30% (that's the extreme side) and 30% is really doable for them because they got the product in before all the price hikes, so they have room to move still.
As a general rule, I expect to be able to get about 20% unless it's extremely limited production or a special (which is really the same thing) If it's brand new to the store, don't expect to get more then 10-15% and if they will only give you 10, they are being stingy.
Know your product, know what you can get it for online before you talk to anyone. A real sales agent will be 2-300 more then the lowest prices you see on the internet because they aren't selling grey market products, all their stuff will have warranty and such, and that's what you pay the extra 2-300 for. If you're not worried about the papers/warranty, then grab the cheapest thing you can find on the internet and don't look back because you're getting a hell of a deal.
Otherwise, go on forums like Watchuseek and check out the vendors in there, they tend to do the deal range I was talking about, and some ship for free.
best of luck!
