Hey...just bought my first rolex!!! =) oyster perpetual 116034, black roman numeral diamond dail with fluted bezel. I got it brand new from an authorized dealer. The watch retails for $7000 US and i got it for $5030 ($5435 taxes in). I think I did pretty well negotiating the price...but how good a deal is this considering other people who've been buying them lately?

Thanks!!

I think it's a very good price.

gregdolley · 22 March 2009, 03:03 AM

Welcome!

First off, was it all stainless steel, or two tone?

Sperry · 22 March 2009, 03:05 AM

I'm considering the 116000, blue or silver face, arabic 3/6/9, luminescent indexes, as a stealth Rolex.

That's an underlooked model.

Your discount was pretty good. There are a few ADs that will discount select models if they are not moving very well.

stainless steel bracelet ...i want to use my watch daily, and i noticed even the display models with 2 tone bracelets had hairline scratches in it.

Enjoy the watch, and never ask for opinions on the deal you got, after you bought something..

Lion · 22 March 2009, 03:48 AM

Sounds like you got a good deal that price is 28% off of list!!!

CharlieG · 22 March 2009, 03:49 AM

I thought list price on a 116034 SS/18K bezel was around $5,500?

Congrats on the watch

CharlieG · 22 March 2009, 03:51 AM

Sorry, you said diamond dial.

kcmo · 22 March 2009, 07:03 AM

Why is this so bad to do? I know I didn't get ripped off, but I was curious to know based on the market these days if this was a smoking deal....Plus it doesn't hurt to let other people ready to buy about the deals available so someone doesn't overspend. :)

In any case, I'm really happy about my 1st rolex purchase...:) The watch is being shipped to the AD from rolex and will take a few days to arrive....i'll post pics asap! :)

alant · 25 March 2009, 07:19 PM

Don't worry about the deal now. Just enjoy the watch!

nirun4444 · 2 September 2009, 04:13 AM

Waiting for Pics.. I am also thinking about getting a 116034 with the diamonds and have been price shopping....

It's not really a bad thing to do per se, but since you've already gone ahead and purchased the watch, what difference does it really make? For example, if the general consensus was "no, you didn't get a good deal", then what exactly can you do about it - you've already bought it? While not exactly the same, it's not unlike people who buy a watch and then ask "is it real?" These questions really should be asked before you hand your cash over. Of course, if you're merely trying to alert others to a good deal, then great, but that's not quite how your original post reads.
