Newbie here with Q . . about to buy.

Hello everyone!!

M first time on the site and it looks awesome.

My question is regarding how much wiggle room there is when negotiating a price with an AD for a new Rolex.

I am looking at a new SS DJ with white gold fluted bezel and new jubilee bracelet.

Buying other brands has always allowed for bargaining with the retailers. What should I be expecting with a Rolex AD?

Thank you all

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Be prepared for a surprise as Rolex AD's don't "Wiggle" as much as other retailers.

Its negotiable, and it depends on a lot of things. However 10-20% might be the expected range as a best case scenario.

The thing is to shop around and see what you can do.

Hello fellow Miamian.Welcome.Take a thorough look at the "For Sale"section of this forum.I wish I had known about this site before I purchased 2 from an AD.There is absolutely nothing wrong w/purchasing from an AD and it does have some advantages although you can also find some great deals here if you look around and inquire.

You might have a tiny bit more wiggle room with the DateJust than trying to buy any of the professional models.

Is your mind dead set on a SS model?the only reason I mention is there is a respected seller here who if I am not mistaken,has a TT DJ w/White Dial on a Jubilee that might be something to consider.
