BLNR price tread

[robvanderpoel]

and in Holland we have 21% tax, so 13% is very low. 19% from Germany comes closer, but is still a bargain for us. Besides, in Germany, cars are only 60% of the Holland prices (as we have 45% additional car tax), same for houses...
In the States, apart from Rolex, everything else is a lot lower priced, so enjoy your low prices, and let us in Holland stay jealous :-)

BLNR costs in Holland only € 7800 ($ 9865), and that is without any knife :-))

$8450.00 from AD one year ago. I have a good relationship with them and $500 off was all they could do, which isn't bad.

[Snow-Dweller]

Bought mine from an AD here in France 6 months ago. MSRP was 7250€, I paid 6800€.

[alanchung]

HK$ 64,500
(around GBP5,000)

[Rameez-Q]

7250 euros in canary islands (spain) with a 10% discount worked out at £5600 for me

In Scotland it retails at 5950 and no AD offered a discount

[leisen]

Mine adquired in Spain some months ago. MRSP was 7400 EUR and I paid 6700, that is, about 11 % of discount .

[leisen]

Sorry, correction. I paid 6600 EUR, not 6700...

Bought from an AD in Bahrain back in Oct 2013 for $7400.00 all in!

[Robb]

Oct. 2013. I got the first that my AD received. I gave a great relationship and they gave me a great deal. I live just over the state line so no sales tax eitherImageUploadedByTapatalk1412429921.796113.jpg

Picked mine up in Toronto, Canada in late February 2014.

The AD offered me 16% discount up front. I came back 4 days later with cash and offered to buy it if they'd cough up another 2% in discount.

Manager said "Yes" and I bought it.

Looking at my sales slip from RDV, the agreed upon price for the BLNR came out to $7,421 CAD, plus another $864.73 in tax and I paid $8,385.72 CAD out the door.

Then came new on May 1 2014 that the price went up by about 6% and the dealer margins went down. The most I was told they'd negotiate on price was a 5% discount.

Luckily I bought it when I did. I guess it was meant to be.

Baffles the brain really!

You lucked out. I missed out on a chance to buy it cheaper. Back in Oct of 2013, my AD offered the BLNR to me for $8,838 taxes in, which would equate to roughly $7,891 before taxes. I passed on the offer and when I finally picked mine up, I ended up paying $9,508 taxes in. This was in June of 2014. Lesson learned. Don't delay when you are on the market for watches.

Walked out yesterday with mine at ~$9600

What an awesome thread. Someone can do a little math here / adjust for currency translation and answer the eternal TRF question..."What is the average discount I should expect on a stainless steel Rolex."

Of course the caveats will be relative to GMTIIC Blnr examples only in this thread / global regions participating and adjustment for any fudging ;-)

[gregvisser]

I paid around $8,300 all up in August this year. But got a very nice sterling silver Rolex loupe and a 2 watch Rolex watch travel case thrown in.

Great buy and nice discount! Take it wasn't via UK AD?

[GarryT]

Full price.
I asked for discount - AD said no.
I asked for some discount on a service of my other Rolex - AD said no.
So I ended up paying the AD £5,950.

Are you local to me mate, as noticed your BLNR came from my local AD Baker Brothers?

[brettpaul]

Current exchange I got mine at USD$ 7,028.00 (tax free) but that was back in October of 2013!

[blueboxster]

Purchased my BLNR one month ago from my AD here in PA. for 8,950 + 6% tax.

Awesome price!

[Papppy]

Got quote from a Jersey, UK jeweller of £5250 ($8400 approx) and that's without haggling. I'm sure there's room for improvement here!

[Pattyb69]

$7300 USD for mine

[hchj]

I can get it at abt USD $8000 from the local grey dealers.
