Thanks for all comments. My friend bought at Wempe on 5th .... No discount .... But happy anyway. They did not have the GMT on stock and had one sent over from another boutique. So he was happy to get the watch ...

Lots of bad info on here. Those saying that discounts are widely available in NYC have no idea what they are talking about. Shop around -- yeah, you can go to T, Wempe, the Rolex Boutique (owned and operated by Wempe) or worst of all, Barthman in the Financial District. Good luck with that. You will have to go much further out before anyone will even entertain a discount. There is no hard and fast rule on this -- it depends on the store (chain or independent), it depends on location (NYC no, smaller city more likely) and it depends on your relationship, if any. That is it, there is no magic to it, no secret negotiation style that will get you a 20% discount from Wempe on SS, etc.

Which AD would this be?
Not RdV, I got 17% off of my Sub but I was also purchasing an engagement ring. You're certainly not getting 20% at Humbertown, and I don't think Raffi would knock 20% off either. I highly doubt anyone can walk into an AD in Toronto and get 20% off...If I am wrong, PM me where this was, I have some shopping to do. |

Showing up clean shaven, looking and smelling nicely and being very polite, with the appropriate amount of dead presidents in-hand to make an immediate sale seems to be one method with promise.

Yeah...it's going to vary. But right here on TRF is still the best place to buy.

Cash is the way to go IF you want to increase the odds of having a discount from an AD.

10% off a ss model like the GMT sounds reasonable to me. Shop around.

Still looking for an AD around the NYC area. Can anyone PM me an AD who would give a decent discount?

I recently bought a new Datejust from a Rolex Dealer at a 10% discount. I paid full price for a GMT 11, but Rolex had just made the new version available and was hard to find.
