Deep Sea Pricing

I am wanting to join the Rolex family; however, I feel that the retail pricing of the Deep Sea is a bit out of line. What discount or pricing should I be expecting? ...or is there anyone out there that has made a recent Deep Sea purchase that can give me an idea?

The AD's are all saying that this is still a "hard to find" model, but every AD that I have visited has had at least one in stock.

Any help would be appreciated. I love the watch, but not the price.

Check the For Sale section here for a better deal. Here they seem to average around $7,450.

^^^Yup. You should be able to get one here for $7k-$7.5k. I wish I had done that instead of negotiating a discount with my AD; I could have saved at least a grand.

I paid retail for it when it first came out.........

I guess that is the price you pay when one has no self control and has to have something "right now"

As t has been said already you can get between 7-7.5 k here with papers in your name from an AD. I bought one early this month at that price range.

No, you are correct........the price really hasn't changed. I paid $9,250. However, the point I was trying to make is that I should have been more patient and bought one off the boards here for $7,500. I'm a big

I think 10% off MRSP is easily obtainable.

I paid £4750 in September '08 from an AD in the UK. They are now £5760. So I'm happy.
