It all depends, if it's a new and fast moving model. The local dealer here was not taking a penny off. Even after I offered cash. Not even 3% for te creditcard costs. Funny thing is that the 116713 I tried to buy has been sitting there now for more than 4 months. All their older models normally get between 5 and 10% discount. Guess I'll have to wait untill that puppy in the window gets older. In the end it's his business and knobody is putting a gun to my head.

The best deal I made (maybe not as impressing as the other deals reported here) was 15 % off an SD + a promise that my AD would service the Lady Datejust I bought for my mother some years ago would get a full service check for FREE next time it was due.

And when I bought my recent Sub Date SS (different AD), I got 10 % off the MSRP + the SD tool set that normally only comes with the SD.

I will be looking forward to that, Dave!

What dial colours would you go for on the Explorer II and Daytona? Surely not BOTH White Faced?

I wish you luck!

It is Exp1, I bought it for my sister. Both black face. I was tossing whether to get PAM or Daytona but I guess you know the answer.

Now the waiting game begin , they promise me it will be here in a couple of months if not sooner.

I bought both from AD in Singapore, at that time I called up all AD in Aus and SING, finally the AD in Sing come up with the best deal.

Nearly did a deal with Monards but at the last minutes my sis come up with the best deal from AD in SING. I went to Hour Glass with casual look, my wife with my young son looking very odinary on that day. I went in, they just look at me up and down ( I wear a $300 Traser watch on that day) and treat me like a second class citizen. No deal there I guess.

A bit like that in some of the dealers - depends on who you get - i think they probably loose a lot of potential sales that way.
