AD's have no need to discount on a handful of models these days. Can't keep them in stock.
If you want a DJ28 with diamonds, however... it's a very different story.

shirtguy · 3 August 2018, 10:18 AM

Yes on a pm which had to be ordered beause it wasnt in stock

j-watch · 3 August 2018, 11:45 AM

In years past, yes. Quite a bit actually, as few as two years ago. Today, not so much.

Really, try buying a Daytona, Sky Dweller, SubC LV, or PepsiC from a "good" AD for a discount. If you can swing it let me know the name of the AD.

mwheatley · 3 August 2018, 12:14 PM

OP, yes. I bought a 114060 yesterday for less than what certain trusted sellers are listing it.

Uppersouth · 3 August 2018, 01:06 PM

Basically all sports models bought at MSRP will beat the Grey market currently. Their business model has morphed into available inventory at a premium. Seems to be working pretty well in this climate.

I bought my sub in Italy for 10% off msrp plus vat refund. Ended up about $7300

Steerpike999 · 3 August 2018, 02:15 PM

Bought My Son's Explorer at a slight discount last December when I picked up my SD43 from my local AD.
i don't expect a Discount in the near future although I always ask

HL65 · 3 August 2018, 08:07 PM

Yes

EDL7 · 4 August 2018, 03:52 AM

Yes..and will take credit card and ship out of state..but that was 2 years ago..

007_Omega · 4 August 2018, 04:18 AM

Go back 2+ years and the Rolex situation was entirely different than it is today. I remember being able to walk into any AD and negotiate for just about any model except the Daytona and Batman. Hell, wasn't the Hulk much easier to acquire when it first came out or thereabouts?

Bobby T · 4 August 2018, 05:50 AM

Of course...the new Ceramic Daytona is way cheaper at an AD than from our Trusted Sellers.......I realize selling a watch at MSRP is not a discount but compared to the grey market, sure feels like one!!!!!

oysterflexer · 4 August 2018, 05:52 AM

Both Ontario locations are owned by Raffi Jewlers. He claims they don't discount.

Langnam · 4 August 2018, 06:56 AM

Yes. I bought my Milgauss GV at 30% off list from an AD and the GMT IIC Black bezel at 35% of list from an AD. I really had no previous relationship with the AD and I didn't have to curry favor by purchasing an extra watch or two, or some other jewelry.

Hot Carl · 4 August 2018, 06:57 AM

Yes, no point taking the risk. Just buy new.

katiedaddy · 5 August 2018, 12:50 PM

I was at my AD last week and had this exact conversation. A rep told me they are only allowed to offer 5% on TT and 10% on gold models, no discount on SS, per Rolex.

I see most all the responses of yes.

For me personally and my friends never seen an AD beat a TS sellers price.

It is definitely different now, but 2 years ago I got 20% off a bnib Sub Date. Can anyone beat that deal for the exact same model that bought from an AD?

Not in Maui lOl they wanted to charge me msrp for a dj31 diamond dial for the right to buy a blnr - comical!

Danny83 · 5 August 2018, 02:47 PM
