As you know I bought the new SS GMT the other day. Well while I was there I bought a 4 watch winder(will post a pic later). Anyway they had to order it and it came in today. So I go back to the AD and he takes it out of the box to show me how it works and the different settings. As he is boxing everything back up, I go up to the counter to pay for the winder. The owner walks out from the back and says "so your the guy that bought the new GMT before I could even show it off" I said, Thats me!!!

Anyway he said "You can have the winder, just buy your next watch from me"

Unbelievable!!! Not only did they discount my GMT that I did not think was possible, but gave me a nice 4 watch winder. And this is my first purchase from this dealer...... Definatly not my last!!

I will post a pic soon!!

Fantastic! Nice to hear these days

Gaijin · 27 July 2007, 05:06 AM

Good business person there!

Dan Pierce · 27 July 2007, 05:15 AM

It just amazing how many dealers don't realize good service can generate a lot of loyalty.

I agree. Really good customer service is so hard to find these days. If I'm treated well by a business then I always try to remain loyal to them. Very well done by that AD

And good for you Robb.

Awsome service!

Say? How much in % did you get in discount?

Robb · 27 July 2007, 06:01 AM

Well the sticker is $5950

I got it for $5474 and shipped it to my house with no sales tax!

This is embassaring! But please help me out here! I am lousy at maths, but quite good at languages.

How much would that be in percent?

And I would like to learn how to do to calculate that on a calculator!

I mean: I CAN calculate like "9839 minus 12" and then press the "percent" button. And likewise ADD ten percent.

But how do one go about when you have one figure and then another lower figure and want to know what the difference is in percent?

Robb · 27 July 2007, 06:10 AM

It is 8%

5950
X
.08
= 476

lightning canuck · 27 July 2007, 06:17 AM

Well done! I got a 12% discount last week on a 16710 GMT from an AD and um.... a free rubber strap for my Heuer chrono!

Not quite as good a watch winder.

Take 5474 / 5950 = 0.92

1.0 - 0.92 = 0.08

Move the "." over two for percentage and you get an 8% discount.

Gotta like that!

A bit of customer service can go a long way. So, where are you going to buy your next Rolex?

You were obviously dealing with a very asture business man. That is what I would call first class service! No doubt, you will be back and you will tell your friends as well. Cheers, Bill P.

You obviously don't live in the NYC metro area!

But good for you!

DaveN · 27 July 2007, 08:59 AM

Er, what planet is your AD on? Can't be the same one as my local AD...

Lol-x · 27 July 2007, 09:14 AM

Well done Robb, you are very lucky to have such a good AD in your neck of the woods. I would definitely go back there again

USMCsilver · 27 July 2007, 09:52 AM

HMPH. I'm jealous as hell, and I ain't 'fraid to say so.

Makes me think about buying my next one elsewhere; mine wouldn't discount once cent!

Probably actually gonna hook up w/ ole Kansai on the next one!

Andad · 27 July 2007, 10:15 AM

Great to hear an all round success story.

Verrrrry nice winder with adjustable rotation speeds.

Is it cw & acw and what brand is it?

+ I now know Bo's Achilles Heel.

JJ Irani · 27 July 2007, 05:33 PM

Great stuff, Robb....what a terrific AD....good salesmanship!!

pwcrulez · 27 July 2007, 05:48 PM

W O W!

Great dealer... Lucky you.

Was wondering how much were you going to pay for the winder?

I was going to get the winder for $200. Which is a pretty good deal for it being a 4 watch winder.
