I am curious as to what the difference is between purchasing an IWC directly from a boutique or from an authentic dealer that carries IWC. I know the selection is probably greater at the boutique, but for this questions sake lets say that both the authentic dealer and boutique carry the timepiece I am looking for. I am reasonably close to both, but would like to learn more. Will both without question be real and directly from Schaffhausen? Will both come with box and papers? Will there be a difference between the amount I may be able to barter off the retail price? Would love for someone to help me out with these questions, and any other advice is more than welcome and appreciated.
Thanks!
