I bought my wife a pretty significant neckless for a milestone anniversary. I worked with a jeweler to pick the stones. It’s stunning. Same quality, carat weight neckless at our local AD is 5 times the price but they’ll give you a deal and do it for only 4X of what I paid. LOL.

You can’t win the AD game by buying Jewelery, especially if you’re talking a five figure purchase.

This is what I was trying to say. But no people don't believe and continue with "ADs only charge market price for jewelry." Jewelry has a huge, huge profit margin at MSRP. A Rolex AD will certainly charge MSRP. If they give you a 15% discount just to set the hook you can bet they're still making 300% over what they paid.
