good AD in Houston areas??

[speedtoys]

Hi guy, new to this forum and hoping to find my first rolex soon, I looked up the AD's in the houston area and visited a few, everyone seemed to cringe at the word "discount", is there any AD in the houston area that would offer a new rolex at a discount, I saw on the rolex website , Karat 22 on Hilcroft, anyone buy from them? Im planing on going there tommorow... thanks and glad to be here

I'm in Houston and have had no such luck, and I've visited every AD around here (except the one you just mentioned!!) Let us know how it goes!

I've frequented all of the ADs and several have offered me discounts. Karat 22 is great...they should be able to do something for you. Try Jared's in Memorial City too....and Deutsch & Deutsch in Highland Village.

Good luck!

Ben Bridge in the Galleria has some pretty awesome sales associates; they're very friendly and (somewhat) knowledgeable. When I was window shopping (as they were filling out the paperwork in order to send my ExpII back to a RSC), they hinted at being able to work with the price "a little".

I've never purchased anything from them because I know that their "discount" is going to pale in comparison to a trusted seller on TRF. That, and I'm not the type of person that needs the oooh ahhh of unwrapping a brand new watch. I'd rather get a great deal, even if it's not LNIB.
