Who here has never paid a cent over MSRP for a Rolex?
I have bought 4 Rolexes in the past 3 years. 3 for me and 1 for the wife.
Submariner below MSRP (June 2017) DJ Blue below MSRP (September 2017) DJ TT Gold below MSRP (December 2017) BLNR MSRP (October 2019) So haven’t paid over retail. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If you have bought multiple hard to get pieces and never paid over MSRP, you have probably also bought things I would never buy, jewelry, diamonds, and datejusts...

Of the five I have bought, all have been with a discount. Even my daytona I got with no tax. However going forward I will probably go grey and don’t have a problem paying over msrp, and I do not chastise anyone who has.

Never. I’ll buy another brand that I can enjoy before I pay over msrp for a Rolex. Call me stubborn.

Look at the pieces under my name . . . . You guys would beat me silly with the dummy hammer, if I paid above MSRP.

what does the MSRP set by rolex have to do with the boundaries you set for yourself? Do those to numbers just always align by coincidence? |

totally agree. and I believe in setting a limit for what price a watch is worth to me as well; just silly to think that that number will align with what a company sets at MSRP all the time. some watches i want and will go over MSRP. others i like but would never pay more than 75% of MSRP... |

Never paid a cent over. Have gotten it for less so far except some models. Basically means I haven't bought a watch other than an AD.

I've only got the one Rolex, a GMTc bought at msrp minus tax. $9.8k aud, probably around $7k usd at the time last year.
I'm not completely opposed to paying above msrp but the value prop comes into play, eg paying AP prices for a hot rolex doesn't make sense to me but each to their own |

Should have done a poll. Would have been easier to read than wadding through all these responses.

DeepSea JC
SkyD TT White Yacht Master Blue 2x Submariners for my Grandsons DJ31mm TT Jubilee,MOP, Diamond IV for my wife all bought at MSRP from ADs except for the Yacht Master which was bought Grey unworn in stickers and full kit for $1100 less than MSRP. Would have had a 116508 if Jon Mayer would have kept his opinion to himself! Frankly I wouldn't enjoy a watch knowing I over paid. |

Only one, a 1016. I'm not sure if that counts.

I paid exactly 7.75% over MSRP for my sub. Taxation is theft and all that.
