What kind of discount can I expect/negotiate these day's at an AD in the
Baltimore, MD; Washington, DC area?? Say, for an Explorer II.

For a Serial M.

Thanks. Looking forward to some advice from the knowledgable Forum crowd.

Don't know specifically about your area, but you should be able to get at least 10-25% on almost all models nationally.

If they don't want to discount in your area simply go somewhere else where they do.

Speed · 24 October 2009, 03:41 PM

Just say no to ADs! ;-)

keschete · 24 October 2009, 03:45 PM

You get the best discounts at the AD you have bought from before.

You should develop a relationship with an AD just like you do with a doctor. You can then get spectacular deals......just my 2 cents...

Every time I walk into my AD, the lady I deal with comes running and says "How can I help you today!"

Speed · 24 October 2009, 03:50 PM

ADs I have been to really blow. Sales people don't last long enough to forge a relationship. Perhaps some smaller small town shops are best for this.

rayfabolous · 24 October 2009, 05:32 PM

i think its more about the demand of the watch that sets the certain discount you get. I was offered 20% for the sub-date and exp II as well as the Milgauss black or white (No discount for the GV) and 18% for the Datejust II.

Strut99GT · 24 October 2009, 10:27 PM

Plus, remember that the more gold that's present, the bigger the discount. SS models generally aren't discounted much.

If you want an Exp II, though, cruise the sale section here. They are going for absolutely killer deals these days on practically new watches!

Sorry, you go to the wrong ADs, I know good sales people that have done it for years and know exactly what they are doing. Every place is different

I got 15% off on my GMT in Septenber. 12 mos no interest financing also.

shawnfb · 25 October 2009, 10:12 AM

I got 13 percent off my DSSD at my Local Brick and Mortar AD, plus 12 Mo zero Interest and an extended 2 yr warranty

axxeman01 · 25 October 2009, 11:31 AM

My local AD only offered 9% off SS Sub when I asked. I was a new customer, but then again I only plan on ever buying just this one watch, so the relationship isn't important to me. I was able to get 20% at another AD with no tax without having to haggle.

I think about 20-25 can be had on a SS model but it can be tough. I as well do not know your area. Here in WI, I purchased a SS model earlier this year for 23% off (it was a Sub LV) and today I purchased a TT midsize for my wife for 30% off and NO TAX. It certainly can be done but this is all based on a relationship as well. I go to the same AD almost every time, I have two I have purchased from and deal only with the owner.

Good Luck,
Adam

zlin08033 · 25 October 2009, 01:03 PM

I'm in NJ, I got my SS GMT2C from my local AD, 20% off + no sales tax, just brought a friend of mine there last week, got same discount on DSSD.

drtooth73 · 25 October 2009, 01:35 PM

close to 20% easy here in Michigan.
I can give you a local AD's name and number

tdefaz · 25 October 2009, 01:41 PM

Thanks for the feedback. I'm thinking of buying from a contact I learned about on The Forum, DavidSW. It seems his rep is stellar from what I've seen here in The Forum.
Agree?

Can you please tell me where did u get the watch from. The store name adn location.
anyone else can tell me if they get more than 20% discount from the authorised rolex store around NJ,NY,PA and MA

robbonds · 6 November 2009, 07:51 AM

if a wg DD with diamond dial ever gets to 45% off ill buy 1 right now

Dr.Brian · 6 November 2009, 09:46 AM

20% is the new 10%! ;)
The Exp 2 depreciates like a Range Rover. You can pick up a LNIB recent model for less than any other SS sport Rolex. DavidSW has a great rep around these parts.
Post some photos!
