Rolex BLNR "the bruiser" sales question.....

[texastexter]

For the most part I have stuck to the 47mm watches but in recent months I purchased a Rolex DSSD on a whim and fell in love with the size and fits well with anything I wear so I began thinking maybe I could go with a smaller watch. I saw the BLNR nicknamed "the bruiser" at my local AD. I began to call all AD and not a single discount. So my question is if that is so why do I see so many turning up on the sales forums on various watch sites? I'd really like to have this model but I'm not paying sticker for any watch. I can only assume either there is no discount and folks used credit to buy them and are selling them online and using funds for another piece or there is a discount and I haven't found it yet. What do you guys think???

No discounts are to had on that bad boy, especially from an AD. I've only known of one person from what I can tell on the web that used a cc, but that was on a whim and he did get a great discount at an international airport.
All the people you see really did buy it as they can afford it and have no problem paying it's price, I wouldn't either if I liked it. Then of course some trade and flip watches to buy it but the value of the BLNR is still retail.

It's a hot watch watch right now and scarce in some areas, one of the best sports watches Rolex makes....so if you wanna play you're gonna have to pay.

Just wait it out for a bit; they will be discounted sooner or later, since they aren't made in small quantities. If you want one while they are still harder to get you will have to pay the full price though...

This... My AD just chuckled when I asked about even offsetting the sales tax. Fully knowing this would be our third Rolex purchase, he said his shop was not offering discounts at all on this model, and these are flying out of the safe before they can even put them on display. There is a waiting list even for the full retail price.

We BOTH knew that if I did not buy this watch at full retail, someone else would. Probably within an hour or two. Capitalism 101. Supply vs demand.

If you want a discount, keep searching for a used one as they do show up from time to time. Or just wait a year when the newness burns off.

To soften the blow, the AD did throw in about $200 of goodies to take home.

NO REGRETS!

I got a small discount, about 3.5% uk AD dealer :-)

[texastexter]

I really like the watch but it's like a car, I never try to paid sticker. lol.

My local dealer always offers 18% off anything I want, but I spent ridiculous money there. I still buy most stuff elsewhere usually, because I can get better discounts than that on most watches if I spend the time looking...

Ding ding ding. Same w most cars.

[strafer_kid]

Would agree - over time, there can be little doubt that this will be available with some degree of discount. I would think that most ADs need to keep cash flowing and their stock moving. As someone else in this thread has stated, there are plenty of these in circulation!

I got 7% off on mine

+1

You are not going to be offered a discount over the phone.

They're not coming in to my AD very quick, so far they have only had one and it was for someone who was #1 on the waiting list and must have spent even more than the insane money I have spent there. I did get to try that one on and boy I loved it. It seems like the TRF trusted sellers here are now offering small discounts.
