Did I score at my AD today?

Hey guys, wanted to share my experience at my local AD (the one we all know). I've been contemplating the idea of buying a Rolex for my wife so we decided to go to the store this afternoon just to look and try a couple of watches to get a feel of what she likes. I know she was always in love with the Datejust Roman and oyster, but I suggested a bigger face Rolex since she is used to big watches, so we started looking at the sports line and then there it was..... a Black dial Milgauss that right when she tried it on, she didn't want to take it off. Obviously the red wine they offered me slowly but surely opened my wallet without me even knowing. So we went over the numbers on the Datejust at $6.6k and then the Milgauss that was $7,650 which was out of the question but at the same time I didn't want to kill my wife's vibe as she was very excited, and I also didn't want to extend my budget more than what I originally had in mind. so, out of nowhere the manager introduces himself and says...by the way guys today we have a special price on this Milgauss since is the last one and you can take it home for $5,850. I was in such good mood and with that price I had to pull the trigger. so my question is, is it normal for ADs to discount about 24% on a SS watch just like that? I know that there is basically no negotiation on SS models. I appreciate your input!!! PS. the only issue is that they have to hold the watch until Friday to process the sale. Wife is super happy and can't wait until then. I'll post some pic when we pick it up.!!!
