There is an authorized rolex dealer in my area that sent me an email saying they have ladies rolexes that are going to be discontinued and are will be sell them at 25% off. I have three submarinars - two were from that store. Can they really sell them at a 25% discount ?

japenney · 14 April 2016, 01:02 PM

Yes. They can sell them for whatever discount they want.

luvchnl · 14 April 2016, 04:00 PM

Yes. I was offered the same last Summer on a Ladies DJ President 26mm from one of the national AD chains . I was told that it was being discontinued as well. I'm curious, do you know which models your AD is offering these discounts on? Is it the lady's 26mm TT & stainless DateJust?

I'd like to know too, please. I seem to have promised my good lady her first nice watch, and whilst I had in mind a Tudor I suspect she'd be rather happier with a Rolex on her wrist. Thanks

Wow, never heard of a genuine AD ADVERTISING a discount before... yes, they will discreetly haggle, but a fixed 25% off? Wow

fskywalker · 14 April 2016, 07:45 PM

Nice discount, wonder too which models they are referring too.

handdoc · 14 April 2016, 07:47 PM

which dealer?

DaveJV · 14 April 2016, 08:44 PM

I have not followed up on this but I think its for previous rolex purchasers - not a public advertisement. My thought was that Rolex didn't allow this type of discounting.

Slippy Chips · 14 April 2016, 08:52 PM

I would love to stumble in to an AD offering 25% off

airchitect · 14 April 2016, 09:10 PM

An ad once told me they could go 35% on discontinued pieces. I should've bought that TOG!

Skyrider01 · 14 April 2016, 10:59 PM

Which AD?

An AD local to me always has a case with discounted watches in it and it always includes Rolex.

Given what they are the discounts are not nearly large enough.

casadecamporolex · 14 April 2016, 11:03 PM

Discontinued watches like the 26mm can be discounted.

sond86 · 14 April 2016, 11:07 PM

I've seen that offered on old stock (like 5-8 years) discontinued models that's Been sitting in the case too long and sometimes part of the deal is the warranty paperwork isn't included

Backing you up on this, manufacturer MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) agreements almost always exclude discontinued models.

ncboiler · 15 April 2016, 02:51 AM

Don't worry they'll show up in the "I spotted this at Costco" thread

hope2 · 15 April 2016, 07:04 AM

imagine like cars, when the model is replaced, manufacturer gives money to clear out old stuff for the new. So, this dealer is aggressive in passing it on to customer. Good for him.

This is standard AD BS that they want you to believe.

Andy355 · 17 April 2016, 05:43 AM

Any clarity on what has been discontinued? Rolex website still has a lot of ladies 26mm on there
