Trying to buy my first rolex and i looked at a nodate sub.AD offers me 12% off.Just curious if thats a good deal and how much will i potentially lose within a year.Does a new one come with 2 extra links or not?

In this economy its reasonable to expect at least 15%.
However, if you look on the for sale section, there are better deals to be had.
As far as the resale value... check ebay and you can get a pretty decent idea of how much nd subs are going for.
Good luck with your search.

Hi and welcome to TRF.

12% is not too bad, but for that watch, you could push for 15%.

New watches come with all their original links fixed on the watch - no extra or separate links are packed by Rolex.

If you have a very large wrist and need an extra link or two, the AD can oblige.

Good luck - JJ

I agree with JJ

on this model 12% is a fair price but push for more...and if you are worried about a year from now howmuch you would loose...I would advice you to buy used that is within 1 year old, mint and complete.
Check on the for sale... Davidsw, Bodybum, Mosco... and lots of sellers can help you.

Hold out for 20% minimum. That discount isn't too hard to find.

Its not bad but you can do better.

Check out the for sale section... Bodybump, Justrolexes, DavidSW and many more are great and trusted sellers here on the forum, they can get you whatever you want...new or used...

echau · 17 June 2010, 01:39 PM

+1 on using the TRF sale section.

From an AD, I wouldn't expect too much a discount on popular SS models.
Of course, you'll get a better deal here!

Where do their watches come from?

The Gods of Rolex themselves!!

Not to worry, they have special tie-ups with Rolex ADs and can give you amazing prices.

I got 3 from one trusted TRF seller - no problems whatsoever!!

I bought 2 Rolexes from DavidSW. No worries

InVision · 17 June 2010, 09:59 PM

Up to 20% from local AD's is common.
