Discounts, Stickers and Is it Safe...
What kind of discount do you guys get from AD? Do you take your stickers off? Lastly- Is it safe to shower with your Rolex on?? Thanks in advance!

I use the sellers on TRF to get my watches, so I don't need to haggle with an AD. Yes, please take the stickers off! Almost all Rolex's are WP rated to 100 meters. Don't think a shower will hurt it any.

It sounds like the pressures of moderating are gradually getting to you Ken
 But you have my sympathies given some of the many "interesting and well thought out" questions and threads that are asked/started....... Hang in there...... something that deserves your intellect, attention and horological knowledge will be along soon......... I certainly hope so In the meantime...... does the second hand always go in a clockwise direction ????? |

Come on Ken...you need to ask specifically about the "Average" discount on a Stainless steel watch.
Randomly reported / out of context averages are the most useful data points for a new buyer walking in to an AD to consider! They are key indicators to the double digit discounts you can get just for asking on uber popular watches. Hahahahaha. Great thread! |

 I can't believe Ken and you guys are poking fun at my buddy Bill!  I know that all new Rolex pieces with the green sticker will command a 75% increase during resale! I know because my AD told me!

They have a name for this, Ken. It's called moderator fatigue. |

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to get the stickers wet.
I'm actually in the process of designing a protective sticker that goes over your protective stickers, to protect them. Stay tuned. |

All of the above questions, plus my AD supposedly lost his lease on his brick and mortar establishment. Right now he has all his stock in the lining of his jacket. What kind of discount should I ask for???? I've also found another watch from a friend who inherited it from his grandfather and left it in a safe for the last 10 years. My camera is busted. When I post blurry pics taken with my 4 years old's Fisher Price camera, will you guys tell me how many thousands I could sell this Day Date Daytona for???

My Rolex stopped. Can I get the battery changed at an AD? What is an AD anyway?

What kind of discount do you guys get from AD?
Just PM a mod, they have the inside track on this. Many are tied direct to Rolex. They'll deny that statement, but we all know it to be true. Do you take your stickers off? Again, better PM a mod, but the saying here is "Only chumps take their stickers off, WIS's put their wrist in a mobile hyperbolic chamber. Remember Zoolander.....it's true...." Lastly- Is it safe to shower with your Rolex on?? Again, better PM a mod and question the validitiy of a 300m tested diver's watch. Hope that helps.

Ken, Thank you for making me smile this morning. I don't think I ever read someone saying something so clearly without saying it at all. Like a comedian that doesn't curse, it is a lost art.
