What's an good discount on a full gold Rolex?

[japenney]

Hey guys! Anyone have any idea what a good discount to aim for on a full gold Rolex is? This will be my first time negotiating on a PM watch and I assume I can get a few extra % off compared to steel. I am not asking anyone to reveal their personal discounts and even anecdotal evidence is helpful . Please feel free to PM me if you are not comfortable posting here. My thoughts are 20-30% is a good range?

Thanks for any replies,

Josh

20-25% depends on the model

Thanks!

25-30%

Even if I can wheel and deal 30% our sales tax here in Canada is killer

All depends on the AD and your relationship with them.
Good luck!

Start with buying from a grey seller

From an AD the floor should be 20%. A good deal would start at 25-30% but don't expect that unless you have a good relationship with the AD. I would start with our Trusted Sellers and look for a slightly pre-owned model that is complete with the box, papers and warranty card. You will save significantly by doing this and at the time you would like to move the watch you will be glad because the sell or trade price will be close to what you paid. Good luck on your search.

In Canada I'd say about 15% with tax included. Thats close to 30%. AD has to make a buck or two

90%

At least for the 116619 for reference, Davidsw sells a new one for approximately 25%, and everybody considers trusted sellers to have the best prices, so I think a discount of 25-30% at an AD would be difficult to do unless you have bought many previous watches or the PM piece has been sitting in the case for a long long time. 15% should be the minimum. 20% you are doing good and anything above should be considered a bonus.

Here in the US if the AD ships to a state they don't have business in you can save on taxes, not sure if Canada does the same thing with outside the province.

I say up to 30%. I for one would never buy a Gold Rolex new.
So many good deals on pre loved.

That's how I got mine. It was 6 months old. The first owner took the hit.

It's good advice and should be considered.

20-25%.

Depends on the owner. I've done enough business with my ADs that I can usually match (or beat) grey dealers for new PM watches.
