Hello.

I plan on getting my first Rolex this Christmas.

I saw a post that mentions Authorized Dealer could give discount.

There are two watches that I like. I would appreciate if I could get some estimation of the percent discount AD may offer.

Here is two watches:

Thank you.

The saying goes "Cash is King" if you walk in with cash money, I'm sure the AD will knock at least 10% off. Mine did.

relaz · 11 December 2007, 11:50 AM

Thanks for the great tip. I will take advantage of this.

keith · 11 December 2007, 11:53 AM

The max i have seen is 15%.

Scooby · 11 December 2007, 12:12 PM

Ooh, champagne serti dial. Looks very cool.

Don't know about discounts. Good Luck and welcome to TRF.

Gaijin · 11 December 2007, 12:23 PM

10% off easy on ether of those watches at my AD with no sales tax if you want to get a cheap flight up to Portland.

PM me if you are interested.

Welcome to TRF
Whatever discount you get both are fantastic watches.

Cheers

Fantastic dial

My most recent discount was 10% off for CASH on my GMT-IIc.

TT and 18K have usually been discounted (if you ask), at least from what some friends have told me was their experience.

Is your "c" a S/S or a TT?

DSJ · 12 December 2007, 01:58 AM

I'm looking at around 23% from my out-of-state AD for a new 16613. MSRP is $7,825, and if/when I pull the trigger, I'll pay $6K even (but that's with buying a second new Rolex for the wife - 179161, also for $6K). You all think I'm getting a good deal here?

Good luck here in SD. I'm looking at the "Z" GMT "Pepsi" and tried BB at Fashion Valley and got the cold shoulder, so I split. I tried Royal Maui and they are "contemplating" a discount. They say they will call me back, but I wont hold my breath.. If you find a discount let me know... Good luck

It's very comfortable on the wrist

SPACE-DWELLER · 12 December 2007, 09:50 AM

Welcome to TRF!

Discounts depend on
the AD size (if he gets Rolex watches often, and has more than one of the same model, it is easier to get a discount),
the Rolex watch model in question,
your negotiations skills and
payment method.

Both the AD and Rolex earn more on TT and YG/WG and other precious metal Rolex watches than on SS, and if the dial has diamonds, the AD earns even more.

Typically, a "regular" TT Sub could be discounted with 10 % easily, and maybe even 15 %.

The "Serti" version should be able to be discounted with 15 % or even up to 20 %.

Good luck!

relaz · 12 December 2007, 02:08 PM

Thank you for all the warm welcome and advises.

Tomorrow, I'm going to Ben Bridge ( I'm at San Diego), try to impress them with cash and hope that they wont give me the cold shoulder like Hydromaroc got :)

I wonder if local AD give "no sell tax" hmm.....
