10% is a reasonable request on aa BLNR. Not every dealer will do it but most will in the Southeast US.

Not easy in the UK, especially London
With so many on the waiting list I can't imagine getting discount, as the AD would just phone his next customer In the US worth a try,,,,more availability |

My AD automatically offered $8k OTD on my BLNR last month, didn't even need to ask. They're quite soft and abundant in the US. Good luck with your hunt, it's a beauty!

Because of the wait list and popularity of the watch you have almost no negotiating power. You can go ahead and ask but you're a sitting duck. You might recoup the almost 3% credit card fee paying with currency but I'd ask in advance about that. You might have better luck asking the AD to include Rolex promotional items which could possibly be resold. I hope you enjoy your BLNR as much as I do mine.

The bubble on these seems to be deflating, so don't go over list price. Many of the investors are trickling them back to the market...

I usually approach it with a simple question: "if I pay cash now, what is your best price"

I bet if you walked in with a pocket full of cash you could get a discount

As all other replies, no harm in asking as they can only say no, but likely that's the reply you'll get. Good luck |
