5177 White Dial Discount?
I know the 5711 white dial is not as popular as the unobtainable blue dial, would it be normal to get some type of discount on the white dial version?

It could possibly happen. I believe it would depend on your relationship with the AD

Surprised in US discounts are not the norm, before Brexit they were here for that.

I received about 5% off mine a few years back. Nominal but I had no prior relationship. Cold called and found it.

All depends what relation you have with your AD, I didn't even ask for any discount on my 5711 blue dial, same for the Rolex Daytona C, was happy to get both in relatively short waiting time, if you don't have a relationship with the AD I don't think they will do anything, even of the white is less in demand it is still a very in demand watch, so chances are low I wiuld imagine

Nope in the UK a grey dealer establishment will pay around £2-2.5k over retail for it so not for UK.

Correct see my screenshot. But again this is due to the low MSRP in the U.K. Effectively what it is is that you are selling a 5711 for a "global" price. it just becomes a profit as the UK price is so low. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It depends on the relationship with your AD as some have mentioned, and I think 5~10% should be achieveable.

But in the UK a chance of a discount on either is as good as zero from what I've seen. It's more a case of you should be grateful to be able to buy one! |

Thanks for confirming. I once sold a watch to them for a few £k profit, unintentionally, just something I bought and changed my mind on. However that profit has certainly been offset by my other purchases with them over the years!!

5177 White Dial Discount?

That dealer is a joke just wants to rip your friend off. A sealed Blue would fetch close to £22k from a dealer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well some "friends" have no problem screwing their friends over for a good pack of cash, 15K is just insane and a total joke and insult IMO... |

AD said no discount, on white or the blue. I think I'll just wait for my Blue 5711.

i don't think discount is offered on this piece since it's been extremely hard to find.
