Current Pricing at AD

I know this has to be on here somewhere, but I could not find it. I know that ADs have very limited inventory, so if you want most watches without a long wait, you have to buy from a grey dealer at significant markup. But, if you decide that you are willing to wait for a watch...or you happen to luck up and find one in AD stock...can you still buy it at the AD for MSRP, or are ADs marking watches up as well?

AD's will always be MSRP but most will make you buy jewelry or diamonds for consideration.

If watches are found at an AD, you will be able to purchase at MSRP. ADs cannot sell over the price stated on rolex.com (in their specific country) or they would risk losing Rolex altogether.

You can pay more in some Asian countries at an AD and get the watch you want.

I've heard this as well, but I think the AD will place MSRP (+ tax if applicable) on the real receipt and make you pay the overage as a separate transaction.

I brought a BNIB explorer 216570 of Friday from an AD, even though this model was discontinued last year he still sold at MSRP

True that. MSRP is the discounted price.

It's more than just patience you need to get certain watches at MSRP.
