Ontario AD recommendation and % discount

[lijason]

This is my first post and I wanted to thank the community for the knowledge I've gained over the past few months

I’m planning on purchasing my first Rolex (sub-c with date in ss) and I was wondering which AD in Ontario forum members recommend? I’m also curious to know what % discount you were able negotiate by paying cash?

Thank you in advance,

Jl.

Welcome to TRF! If you're willing to venture to Ottawa, Jubilee Jewellers is a fantastic AD. I was able to negotiate approx. 25% discount on my DJII. I can provide you with a contact there that will ensure you get a fair deal.

25% on a brand new SS Sub-C from an authorized dealer? That kind of discount is unheard of in the US. Please let us know how it turns out

I believe our MSRP prices are a little higher than American prices while our dollar is pretty much par. Could end up being the same amount paid in the US after discount.

ontario has 15% sales tax so in the end it turns out to be a 10% discount off msrp assuming one gets 25% off

your discount depends on previous watches purchased and customer history. thats the bottomline.

Agree but just trying to help the guy

Also, much more difficult to get any discount on a stainless steel model.

I wouldn't say so. My AD was willing to deal on a SubC or the DJII that I ended up purchasing. Both were SS models.

Then you are doing better than most, congrats. Did you have a history with that AD?

Nope, no history with the AD. We have two ADs in Ottawa and the sales rep that I was dealing with was fairly aggressive. He offered a modest discount at the beginning, I told him that this would not work, and that I would take the offer to the other AD to see their stance.

I assume it had more to do with the sales rep wanting to get the deal and knowing that I would put money down if the numbers fit the bill. In the end, he adjusted the discount to a price that was fair, and I took home my new DJII.
