Hey guys just have a general question. Do you think any AD would be willing to do 28% off a SS/plat Yachtmaster? Im in the market and would be willing to purchase at that price. Just would like some input. Thanks!

Anything is possible.

Take your time and shop around. Never know what you might find! Don't rule out grey dealers either.

Maybe... I was offered 25% on a popular Brietling a few days ago...

Maybe, probably depends on the AD and whether they really want to sell the watch!!! The best I've ever gotten on a Rolex was 22% off on a BNIB SS SUB ND!!!

In Cairo, Egypt, the AD gives more than 25% on the SS/PT YM!!!!!!!!

It may take some shopping around to different AD's. Just be prepared to walk away and go to another AD. Some just don't get it yet.

Sure, it's possible, I wish you luck. Keep in mind that Rolex as a manufacturer charges their dealers 58% of the MSRP instead of the far more common 50%, so the dealers margin is much less, giving them the incentive to maintain retail prices as much as possible. At least this would be true during normal economic times. I would have to guess that our global economic troubles would likely have changed the bargaining position, at least for any dealer who is feeling the pinch.

I heard that anybody can get around 30%~35% off in Japan

YM SS/Plat: Alan Furman list: $7,510!

I want that too but not at that price.....I'm watching, watching, waiting and waiting for a LNIB from our TRFers.
