Have you ever received a discount at an authorized dealer?
If yes, what was the percentage discount.

sam florio · 3 April 2012, 12:03 PM

Common in Toronto to get 20 pct of list

springer · 3 April 2012, 12:05 PM

30% was the best I received, but I have been purchasing there for many years.

Agreed- I have received 25% off in the greater Toronto area several times in the past 3 years-all on SS sports models

honeybear · 3 April 2012, 04:28 PM

I'm interested in a SS SubC in the US, anyone has an idea of how much of a discount would be reasonable on this?

you might get 5% disc. is harder these days

pietermann · 3 April 2012, 05:01 PM

Also tell us on what you got the discount ;)

gwalker · 3 April 2012, 05:27 PM

If you are a first time buyer it will be tough. Discounts happen when you build a solid relationship with an AD. People aren't going to write openly about what ADs they get great discounts at.

cajerseyboy · 3 April 2012, 05:39 PM

Depends on the piece.....and the AD.

aandrianto · 3 April 2012, 08:49 PM

20% from AD located in Indonesia and Singapore

RX0-Unicorn · 3 April 2012, 09:35 PM

I got 10% from 1 AD and 20% from another AD. In Hong Kong, it is almost impossible to get any discount unless you are buying a very unpopular model.

Megalobyte · 3 April 2012, 09:41 PM

About a year ago a Florida AD offered me 15% on a Deepsea, but no discount on a Sub C.

DJJon · 3 April 2012, 09:55 PM

Try a smaller mom-and-pop AD for discounts. The chain stores won't budge off list.

I got about 18% discount by visiting tons of ADs and just talking casuallay and asking for their best price. Like posted above I won't divulge their identity because it could get them in some sort of trouble. Work the area you live in, or buy a BNIB from a Trusted Seller on TRF if you want to save money off list.

watchdawg · 3 April 2012, 10:24 PM

20% in Abu Dhabi

Too Old · 3 April 2012, 11:11 PM

Got 10% on a DSSD in the UK. Think thats pretty standard

Z3grape · 3 April 2012, 11:24 PM

zippo, nada , nothing. That is why I went Grey. The model I was looking at for months was the GMTII C and I gave them a shot and they said like $200 off which is less that 3%. I went grey and saved around 10% and did not have to pay the tax so that was another 7.5%

azguy · 3 April 2012, 11:55 PM

It depends on the watch, the dealer inventory, the location of the store and how you carry yourself. Many, many factors are in play.......

Watch ME! · 4 April 2012, 12:24 AM

February 2012, AD cash purchase, no tax and 2% additional off on SS Sub-C.

rad87gn · 4 April 2012, 02:08 AM

10% usually for SS models. Only time I got 0% was when I got my Sub LV back when they were hot still.

Believe it or not, that saves alot of money! NY Tax is about 8.65% so total you got over 10% off.

Maybe I am just weird but I always figure tax is part of the price as it is still coming out of my pocket.

Why do you think that?

Is that not the UK Rolex head office and service centre only or have I got the wrong St. James branch?

Vaxe · 4 April 2012, 06:01 AM

At my AD in San Diego: 5% and no tax for Submariners, higher discounts for GMT and Explorer.

tripleC · 4 April 2012, 06:02 AM

Just left Chicago Raznys they offer me a white explorer for 6880 very fair price.

sixers_610 · 4 April 2012, 07:19 AM

Hi. No, you've got the right branch but his info is out of date. They're now doing 30% off

(sorry I couldn't resist having a little joke, just as I assumed DJ_Lorenco is doing).

Best, J.

coralhound · 4 April 2012, 08:04 AM

I was at my local AD last week looking at the Sub LVC list was $8,895 They offered up 10% pretty easily. Sales tax here is 5% I can drive 45 minutes to Delaware where there is no sales tax. I have not visited that AD there, YET!
