In the US I personally haven't seen the ADs selling pieces above list, though I've heard of ADs doing this abroad.

Only to people who call it, "Batgirl"; MSRP for everyone else.

Not.supposed to

But if not they can always bundle with other PM pieces

I was at AD on West coast asking about BLNR jubilee just out of curiosity (not really in market since I have BLNR on oyster). They said if you spend $100k on non-professional SS/PMbbut on DD or DJ PM they would put me on a list. Only a list ???

I said no thanks and walked out

When ADs ask you to bundle, or insist on a long history of high-end purchases, they're effectively selling pieces above list.

I don’t believe AD’s are allowed to do this with the permission of Rolex and could have their AD status revoked as a result.

AD's are not allowed to sell over retail. Doing so could jeopardize their status.

If it’s in the pre-owned case then yes. Most U.S. ADs sell new pieces at MSRP.

Are you sure it's not pre-owned? At least in the US I have never come across any AD that sells above MSRP.

They want it to stick and it seems like it’s gaining zero traction.

Not sure what the fascination with emasculation is here. Cuckold timepieces are the new thing?

This is so how it should be!

From now on Every time someone call the watch "Batgirl" this photo should be posted by Everyone!

In the UK a reputable AD won't, recently an AD put a pre-owned 50th anniversary sea dweller on their website at MRSP and it was sold within 24 hours and generated over 50 calls. Likewise of course they won't offer you any decent price on say a pre-owned hot SS model.
