I am not arguing here and I am not trying to make upset anyone either !!
I don't think it is actually illegal to sell any product above an rrp, as let's be clear it stands for Recommended Retail Price. The important bit is recommended.
If a an AD or anyone else for that matter put a SubC ND up in their window for £5k and then you walked in and said I will have that and get to the counter and they say that's £5500 please. Then they are breaking trading standard rules.
If the same dealer had the same watch in the window for £5500 and the price is one it. Then they can legally sell it for that price. I totally agree that then Rolex might get very upset about it but it wouldn't be illegal.
As another point brought up around posters stating that
"You won't get a BLNR from an AD at rrp" I actually said words the the same effect and I as probably many others probably mis-represented that comment.
Better wording would probably have been
"You won't get one from an AD"
Whether that be rrp, above or discounted..... Not in the time frame that the OP was talking about anyway.
**disclaimer....not wanting to upset or single anyone out.
