hello everybody i was wondering if anyone has been receving more than 10% off of list on a green milgauss?

my rolex authorized dealer is offering 10% i will push for more but wondering if you have gotten more

thanks you in advance

DanP · 6 May 2009, 03:52 AM

I got 18% off in Hong Kong

charliec · 6 May 2009, 05:56 AM

That's absurd !!!! Both 10% and especially 18% just wouldn't happen here in the UK...

Don't ask why it just doesn't ????

AD's generally are of the impression that they are doing you the favour still ???

mhays26 · 6 May 2009, 05:58 AM

I got 20% off mine a few weeks ago

rollie · 6 May 2009, 06:13 AM

They will give 0% in the UK

Z-Sub · 6 May 2009, 06:24 AM

Zero % off back then when it was still hot

nylawbiz · 6 May 2009, 09:31 AM

22% off. Part of a combined purchase with a DSSD and Daytona SS. (got 22% off all three).

Randy · 6 May 2009, 09:44 AM

10% to 15% off the GV is a deal if you are just purchasing one Rolex. GV is still an allocated watch, most AD's only get 2-3 per year.
If you buy two or three they generally will discount more. Good luck! It is a stunner!

pckau · 6 May 2009, 10:59 AM

Just got one from an AD in Hong Kong. ZERO discount. I also needed to buy a separate Yacht Master.

my ad will not budge from 10% off.. he said to go to another AD and get a quote for 15% off and come back and have it in writing and they will match it. i did that for 2 other ADs - they both laughed at me when i asked for discount on GV.

so i guess i am stuck at 10%

the AD mentioned this term "allocated" since they will special order it for me or whatever. i thought there was nothing behind the term but apparently there is...

It's a great watch...go for it.

wang · 8 May 2009, 12:24 PM

please post the best discount i can get from an AD. i am in the market. i need 15% off. my AD is quoting me 10%. does anyone know of a US AD that i can contact to get a quote of 15% please?

can i actually get 15% out there.. ?

springer · 8 May 2009, 01:32 PM

40% is the best you can get in the USA - but it "ain't gonna happen" my friend. If you can find it at retail here in Dallas you've made a score.

I've read here on the forum of a few that have received 10% discounts on the green glass.

bodybump · 8 May 2009, 01:35 PM

Is it really worth all that to save $300? Just buy the darn thing and support your local dealer.

I don't think anyone of us "need" anything.

Can you get 15% off? Yes if you have a good relationship with an AD and buy more than one watch from them at the same time.

Will you get 15% off if you don't have a good relationship and only plan to buy the GV, most likely not.

The economy may be bad, but it's still about supply and demand. I don't know what the current MSRP is in China for the GV, but you may have already gotten a better deal than you can elsewhere.

Most of us forget that this is an international forum where percentage discounts vary quite a bit from country to country.

wang · 9 May 2009, 01:06 AM

i will hold for 15% with noother watch purchases from AD before

don't back down now · 9 May 2009, 02:57 AM

I would wait for fifteen. AD needs us more than we need them. Goose guy.

TempoKing · 9 May 2009, 03:45 AM

15% off is the norm today

Who is giving 15% on a Milgauss GV to some guy walking in off the street?

Good customers might get a discount from their friendly AD, but if I decided today to buy a Milgauss GV, no dealer that I know, or that knows me, is giving me 15% off -or any discount at all- on a Milgauss GV. If anyone knows one in Texas, feel free to PM me.

Tempoking, what you got going with your AD (or dealers) in no way reflects what the average guy can get a watch discounted for at an AD.

If somebody new here thinks they can go in and strong-arm their dealer for major discounts, they'll probably find out different once the negotiating starts, whether it be a 15% discount on a Milgauss or any other Rolex.

DAVIDSW · 9 May 2009, 07:56 AM

No one is just walking off the street and getting 15% from an AD just like that..... I can tell you in my own experience that at this current moment there are not a "Truckload" of GV's to go around as they are selling pretty well and it is difficult to source at a discount...

A typical AD will sell the GV at list .. if he knows you well enough he may go 5-10% at most.... and in the rare occassion 15% but again to a good customer..

I say 10% is good to go.... enjoy the watch and wear it well... you will go through rings and hoops to save 5% and in the end you may not be happy with the end experience......

Hope you get it soon

Best

theken · 9 May 2009, 08:21 AM

I think 10% is an very generous discount to receive from an USA AD on a Milgauss GV, especially if it is your first purchase from that AD.
Asking for an additional 5% may work but I think developing a relationship with the AD is more valuable. Should you have a problem during the warranty period, you want to have the AD's support if the watch must be returned to Rolex USA.
After I purchased several Rolex watches from one AD, he began calling me when he received trade in watches he did not want to put into his inventory. I was able to buy 2 pre-owned watches at very favorable prices.

springer · 9 May 2009, 08:49 AM

I wonder if we started a poll to see how many got 10% discounts on a Milgauss GV, how many responses there would be.

I bet 99% of them would be from guys that buy regularly, and often. from the same AD.

There have been many more Daytonas on the forum for sale than Milgauss GV's. This is a very limited production watch.
