Rolex skydweller 2 tone discounting

Hi, i am on wait list by my dealer for a ss skydweller, but long list. My dealer is offering me the 2 tone dial instead that it has, and at a good price. I am considering it, my question is, what discount % is considered good? I am grtting offered 10%
Do other dealers in other countries or areas offer discount for the 2 tone skydweller? If yes, how many %? Is this a good deal?

10% sounds like a decent discount. Question is, do YOU want the TT Sky D? Unless it “sings” to you, I’d rather wait than settle for something else.

I still prefer the blue ss, but almost hopeless unless i want to pay premium. I am considering it because i don't have a tt yet. if i can haggle for more discount, but based on what I've read and asked around it is very hard to get discount even for 2 tone model. As normally being sold at mrp, not sure if accurate.

I don't really feel like 10% is anything to get excited about. Also, unless you love it don't just settle for it, or you'll be filled with regret and longing for your first choice every time you look at your wrist.

Even with the 10% discount it is still a watch you don't want. That's not worth it.

I prefer ss, but from where i am, ss selling at super premium. So will end up this tt is already at mrp on the aa model after discount. I am considering it because if the ss comes (who knows when) i might still be able to flip this. Dealer also tols me the6y sell this mrp but only offering this discount to me, not sure if true

My Ad is also offering 10% on TT models including SkyD. But SS SkyD will always be in demand more than TT SkyD and in my opinion(TT SkyD) will not fetch a higher premium when you are ready to sell it.

I love the skydweller and would recommend getting one for the crown function alone but you need to buy the one you love and not worry about the discount!

to answer your question 10% in the UK is a great discount and if it was the black dial TT i would strongly consider it

The TT is a beautiful piece and I would gladly take that over a SS. 2K difference should not be a consideration. Go for the one you really want, otherwise buyers remorse

I like the TT; didn't want to pay the up price and knew it would be less in demand. I would have considered trading one in black for my Sky Blue but now I'm on the list for a TT CHNR so that will scratch any itch I might feel. As far as discounting I don't think that could have happened two days after introduction.

I’m not a fan of tt. I’d wait for the ss.
