AD Markup on SD43?

Hello All,

For any of you who were able to buy a SD43 from an AD, I'm curious to know if the going rate was MSRP $11,350 or a lot higher?

As an aside, after you got it and wore it, did it wear more flashy than you expected?

Many Thanks,

Sordfish

AD’s, at least here in the USA, are not supposed to sell for over MSRP. If you can find an SD43 at an AD, you are most likely going to pay MSRP, unless you have a solid long standing relationship with your AD.

The watch isn’t flashy what’s so ever. I wear mine with both casual and business attire.

Same situation in Singapore.

I got mine from my AD at exactly MSRP.

AD should charge MSRP. If they charge more than MSRP I think they wouldn’t want Rolex knowing about it.

Bought one this afternood at MSRP. I’ve never heard of an AD selling a new watch above MSRP.
One time a couple of years ago I saw an AD selling a previously owned (name on warranty card), fully stickered piece at the market price.

The only time I’ve heard of mark ups in AD’s is in Asia. Maybe other places but not I’m aware of.
