It's the same here in Singapore, Adam.

The steel Daytona regularly commands a premium over the recommended retail price at ADs, and I believe the same might currently apply to the DSSD blue. As for the GV - yes, it sold for twice the MRSP when it first appeared!

However, ADs are very clever when they do charge a premium - the receipt they issue simply says "A Rolex watch'' or even just "Watch'' under "description'' which is suitably vague and ensures the receipt can't be used as evidence of overcharging.
