Hello,

I am in the market for the Explorer II 216570 and have some questions.

I want to buy it from an authorized dealer and was wondering whats the best discount they can offer? I was offer 5% off MSRP ($8100) and tax free from one AD.
I'm from the PA/DE/NJ area

Did the 2014 model come out yet? if so what serial number does it starts with?

Will there be a price increase for 2014? if so when?

Thanks!

Random serial numbers and no one knows if/when Rolex will raise their prices.

Why should you get a discount?

Have you checked the sale section here?

The issue is that there is never a guarantee of any kind of discount whatsoever. If anyone walks into an AD expecting a discount from the start then they are setting themselves up for a disappointment. From my experience no AD offers any kind of discount even after having bought 3 watches in a row from a single dealer...perhaps the discount comes from people buying more than that in a row, but I have yet to see it.

I received a 18% discount from an AD, on my 16610(2007), I had never been in that AD before.

I also received a 20% discount from another AD, over the phone on my sea-dweller. It can't hurt to ask, the wort they can say is no.

Doesn't hurt to ask. Many AD's do offer discounts...

I got 15 percent off mine they also shipped it to me so I could save sales tax. I was very happy with that deal and jumped right on it :)

Good luck in your search it's an awesome watch
I also got it from my ad who is out of Pittsburg

Careful with the "tax savings" comments. Not exactly above board

swils8610 · 27 January 2014, 10:02 AM

You can pick one here on TRF for a trusted seller. I would think for around 6500 or so.

EXACTLY

Nidal · 27 January 2014, 03:26 PM

Minimum 10% and no less from AD
Sellers here give up to 15+%
I like to buy face to face from AD

Castor · 28 January 2014, 02:15 AM

When I went into my AD & asked about a discount the lady behind the counter looked at me like I'd lost my mind! You can always asked for a discount, but don't hold your breath.
Just make sure that you keep everything above-board, my brother-in-law bought my 216570 for me in Saudi Arabia (a gift from my wife) & tried to bring it into Canada on his wrist to avoid taxes, etc.; he ended up spending very much more on taxes, duties, & penalties.
Maybe you can get a good price from someone on this board. My understanding is that they are very good.

I'd go grey for that model.

I just want to get a good understanding on whats the best discount out there for this model. As it various from model to model. A few years ago I got my first DJ at a huge discount at around 25% off msrp.
