Buying my first Rolex - Negotiate with AD?

[11b1p]

Damn, I asked about a military discount at a Tourneau once. Did I just fuck myself?

What would be a reasonable % to request for discount? 15% ? Tax free?
Definitely want to build a relationship after everything this AD has done for me.

Thanks

What’s the so much he’s done for you ?

I’d ask for 15% off the first, 20% off your next pic, then 25% off, and then the 4th should be no charge being you’re now such a “valued” customer.

Oh really? Wow, amazing advice.

I actually showed them your post and all the staff in the store also thought it's an amazing advice.

Thank you for making our day!

Why not just go for a 30% discount right off the bat. Tell them gold models aren't in demand and they might even do 35%.

They might (will) laugh at you if you ask for a discount on a currently in demand piece. That said, I jokingly brought it up on a BLNR I finally had the good fortune to pick up earlier this year...and though they laughed, they did give me free Rolex Baseball Cap - so it's something I suppose!

only some datejusts can get discounts. nothing else.

OP is a troll, check his posts before replying seriously

I hope you have been successful, but don’t think anyone is giving discounts on any references anymore.

Don’t do it. They won’t call you next time

[Francist]

You do know most Rolex ADs have empty cases in their store?
Discount? 15% too? Really man?

Bad advice all around here.

I just wait for the watch to reach expiry and for the SA to slap the 50% discount on them. They aren’t the freshest watches but nobody can tell!

Can’t hurt to ask but hard to tell what % if any you’d get without knowing what 4 watches you asked for in 2021

If you asked for ceramic Daytona, BLRO, new Kermit, and SkyD blue dial... I’d say zero discount and years long wait unless you’re VVVIP client

If you’re buying 4 diamond encrusted ladies DJ and DD then I’d say you have good odds to to get some discount
