JUST ANSWER EITHER YES OR NO

I have a friend who thinks I should have gotten a discount and I want to prove him wrong.

Grissom · 2 December 2010, 04:40 PM

A Qualified Yes (If I didn't already have a few).....

Wasn't too long ago when you were ecstatic if only you were ABLE to buy one at MSRP!!

nelixchan · 2 December 2010, 05:35 PM

Here in Hong Kong, White Dial there is a slight chance you might get one at MSRP. As for the Black Dial, not a chance. (If you are even lucky enough to find one at the AD) So I have to say a YES for sure.

Rogue884 · 2 December 2010, 05:49 PM

Yes, if they have it in stock

bardm · 2 December 2010, 06:46 PM

No

dddrees · 2 December 2010, 06:46 PM

I did just a couple of months ago,and I would do the same all over again.

So Yes.

esm · 2 December 2010, 06:49 PM

Your friend is probably not very "connected" with what's going on in the Rolex WIS world. Yes, the 116520 demand has decreased, but can still be "difficult" to get hold in some, if not many parts of the world.

So my answer in short would be: YES, and I have purchased a White dial a few months ago from London AD after about 5 months waiting period.

Can I ask what watch(es) your friend is wearing?

walds11 · 2 December 2010, 08:29 PM

Yes.

phlippo · 2 December 2010, 08:48 PM

Yes.

HL65 · 2 December 2010, 09:35 PM

No

Jason71 · 2 December 2010, 09:37 PM

No

marshallr47 · 16 December 2010, 11:50 PM

I did not. I paid Grey Market price which was higher than what the AD was charging. I guess I just wanted the watch that bad.

Art 1 · 2 December 2010, 09:42 PM

For me it's not a yes or no question. Guess I can't answer.

coreyharris · 2 December 2010, 10:06 PM

yes

Dr.Brian · 2 December 2010, 10:16 PM

No, but I don't want one.

The question isn't whether you would buy without a discount; it's whether you can get one with a discount. Two very different things

GEO_79 · 2 December 2010, 11:26 PM

yes

padi56 · 2 December 2010, 11:28 PM

Well speaking for myself would not buy one even with a discount, especially the very limited S.Steel two dial option, not a fan of the modern Daytona.Just cannot see why all the fuss is/was over the S.steel Daytona.Perhaps it was just a fashion thing, or owning a watch that was at one time very hard to get unless you was willing to pay a premium Price.
