has your AD hit 30% yet?
it seems common place now to find rolex at the AD at 20-25% off.
I know my AD is dropping to 30% on the GMTIIc TT with cash. I was wondering what the highest discount other have been able to squeeze out of an AD. (not including ladies models) and if your AD is selling the 116713 at 30% off or more, let me know! I would rather order it out-of-state. |

It seems 20% can be found with some work but even that can be tough to get still.

Echo that in Cali. Six weeks ago on an SS GMTIIc My AD would only gave me 0% off so I had to go elsewhere. But maybe on a TT in Michigan they are 30% off what are sales tax there? 6-7%?
Check out the photo gallery for some recent pictures I posted. |

I guess with the hard times we're having in Michigan -
AD's don't have much other choice - if you guys need the bigger discounts - give me a PM, and I'll get you touch with my guy. But I'm not giving out his number unless you're 100% on pulling the trigger. I know he loves cash, and I know he ships out of state. When I bought my 16710 a couple months ago, he had 2. I went back the next day to buy the other, and he said someone called about it, and it was shipped out. don't plan on 25% of a SS daytona or DSSD. But a SUB or GMT? he is going to bet 10% for sure! |

Anyone in the NY tri-state area that's looking PM me. I was there yesterday and he has a pretty decent supply of sport models (again dont ask about SS Daytonas). He is EXTREMELY aggressive price wise, and if you use my name, it will definitely help.

Last week I purchased a YG Day Date discounted 26+% for me and a new DateJust for my Wife discounted at just over 20%.
Last night I was again at the local AD looking at an Air King. The one I looked at retailed for $5150. I was quoted $3,450, which is a 33% discount. The display case at the AD also has some older, unsold models labeled at 30% off. Maybe I should be buying more??? |

i have an offer for 25% off gmt iic in cash. I'd like 30%, but that's probably pushing it.

Don't be jealous....our Congress is probably looking for a way to tax the 20-30% we are saving on Rolex in order to help bailout Wall Street. Aren't we lucky!

30% is quite common for most YG and WG models. You just have to know the right AD's

Canadian AD"S offering 20% off
The AD"S in Montreal are all offering 20% the submariners without even asking! I walked into the store and they dropped the price within one minute!
However, when I pressed them for a further discount they refused to budge even one dollar from the 20% off price! |

I think my AD is stil doing 20% off... I'd rather buy from him even if the discount isn't as good (unless we're talking about 35+ lol)

Hello fellow members. I walked in off the street during a mild winter day 3 weeks ago in Boston, I have wanted a Stainless and white gold Turn O Graph with oyster bracelet for a long time. I tried on a white dial one,did not like it asked for a black dial one,and the saleslady said she could order one from New York. I then said lets talk cash price,she launched into her Rolex does not discount speech. I then stated the AD a half a block away which was going to be my next stop was willing to discount. She then went and got the manager and I spent about 20 minutes haggling with him and I got 25% off. I have never stepped foot in that AD before,have never purchased anything from them. I was treated like a longtime regular customer,and the buying experience was actually fun. The watch arrived 8 days after I put my deposit down and I cant believe I waited so long to buy this stunning timepiece. So no my AD has not gone to 30% yet.....but I got 25% off and I am very happy for getting such a deal.

My AD uses a base price for all models similar with the Swiss Luxury net wire prices. The watch business is really suffering, so if you have cash, you are King. Walk when they tell you a weak discount. But try on the exact watch you need, then pm all these guys here who know ADs who are very flexible and make a great deal for yourself.
