Does anyone work at an AD?

(I think I said that right lol)

So at the most we are talking about the AD making 3 percent on that watch, if the employee is allowed to purchase it at 35% off.

Just to clarify because this 62% is a number I often read here.

None of the numbers above are correct for European ADs. Their profit margins and pricings also depend on the exchange rate of CHF. Could be true for chain ADs who don't buy directly from Rolex though.

To put some numbers out there - One of my recent purchases retails at 6750EUR, and I paid just over 4000EUR for it (and yes, I have receipts for it too, full AD, my name in warranty, diet coke, green Rolex bag, the works...)
Same watch from a trusted seller here in TRF was just under 6000USD, so almost 1500EUR more expensive than AD.

Like I said - I can't afford trusted sellers, so I have to buy from ADs :)
