When you guys purchased your AP, what was your discount? I was at a non-AD that sells a collection of nice watches from AP, PP, VC etc and they offered me 35% off on a BNIB ROC rose gold on band. It came with boxes and papers, but made me question the authenticity with such a steep discount. Especially since they had to order it, so it wasn't dead stock that they were trying to move.

Thanks for your time.

I got 37.5% off my BNIB RO 15300ST from a grey dealer a few months back.

I've done much worse

Got 25% off on a BNIB RO 15300ST black dial from a grey dealer last summer. Amazing watch!

On a brand new rose gold AP there should be at least 30% off IMHO.

TSW · 1 April 2012, 04:57 AM

Between 15-25% off on the Steel models and 20-35% off on the solid gold model.

All discounts are depending what AD, stock, how the numbers are looking on that brand, and if you are a valued client.

That's a very good deal......are we missing some details from the story?

Typical I have seen is 25% for a customer with a good AD contact.

herbie911 · 1 April 2012, 04:48 PM

I went to Hong Kong two weeks ago. Both AD won't offer anything more than 5% for the 15300 Black dialed rose gold. Fortunately, I didn't let my heart rule my head! Sounds like a trusted grey dealer is a better bet for AP watches!

tomato · 2 April 2012, 03:45 AM

My AD gave me a 20% discount on the diver.

abnerc15 · 2 April 2012, 02:45 PM

Hi Guys,

Any idea what the current discount for a 2011 44MM Offshore would be.
I can get a Panda for a 33% discount, so would I be right to presume that the 44MMs should also retail at such a discount in the near future.... They not being Limited Editions.

I really wanna get myself the 44MM SS, but think its a lil out of my budget just now.

Thanks,
Abner

Mr. RoC · 2 April 2012, 09:52 PM

21% for my wife and I at a AD

SubKing · 3 April 2012, 05:39 AM

from a retailer typical is 20-25% off depending on the model... rose gold is 30%+

MortgageGuy · 3 April 2012, 08:24 AM

Not as good as TRF

in israel we have good price also on rolex and for AP...

S`` · 14 April 2012, 02:32 AM

How's MSRP typically priced in Israel?

% off from AD can be subjective as MSRP in parts of the world is affected by the Forex and crappy USD...

i recieved alil over 31% my ROO volcano from a trusted grey dealer around a month ago.

Farris · 22 September 2013, 07:12 PM

Guys,

What would you consider the max discount one could get on a 41mm all rose gold royal oak chrono on gold bracelet?

I found one at 28% and think there is more room to squeeze, but I don't want to overplay my hand.

Also what is a good price on an extra link fr the bracelet?

What is good price for a leather strap with the RG deployment buckle?

I am thinking on to pull the trigger on the all RG, but having the option to put it on a leather strap when I want to tone it down at times.

Thanks

SigloII · 24 September 2013, 12:53 AM

30% from AD-stamped grey market dealer on 44mm ROO.

It sounds like it would be possible to ask for more. 37.5% makes any RO a screaming value.

Soly20 · 24 September 2013, 01:53 AM

30% off is a good benchmark, any discount at 30% and over is very good. 25%-29% is good. This is of course excluding LEs.

woodbine · 26 November 2013, 12:37 PM

What can one expect to get off retail price on the Hulk?

Thanks.

5-10% off

conkers · 26 November 2013, 08:41 PM

You should also factor in tax. For example, you can immediately take 20% off RRP of a watch in the UK and most of Europe if you ship it outside; in that scenario, a 10% discount is giving you 30% in total off. You can easily do more on standard models.

Rommell2 · 27 November 2013, 02:28 PM

I'm in Dubai for a few weeks and want to buy a new watch. I wouldn't imagine much discount here. Anyone with experience buying watches here?

prestocheetah · 27 November 2013, 03:12 PM

Usually 20-25% for the stainless steel ones, & 30%+ for the gold/ rose golds' for APs
Some US ADs will tax you after they gave you discount if you pay by cards, & no tax if you pay by checks/ cash!! For the rolexs, i usually get 10% +/- discounts on the stainless steel models, but in LA, the tax is like 10%, so at the end of the day, if i really wants the watch then i will have to pay the retail price for it, just minus the tax! not too worth it, unless it is the something that i really like/ or hard to find models, or else i will wait for my next business trip, & make a watch shopping in europe/ asia

In some countries in Europe, & Asia, i believe the discounts are bigger than US, & you can get your tax money back at the airports when you bring the goods back home, or pay them & have them to ship it, plus ppl take advantage on the currency!! so i guess thats part of the reasons why the grey market is doing so good in US, & they can give away discount with 37.5% off.

well.. but i think typically anywhere from 20-25% for steel, & 30%+/- gold models sound normal at the US ADs

Exclusivewatches · 27 November 2013, 07:15 PM

I recieved 20 % off and and additional 5 % due to my payment option - cash.

Cru Jones · 27 November 2013, 07:31 PM

wow, didn't expect that such discounts were the norm.

That's why I think AP is cutting down the number of ADs and building up their boutique business.

s14roller · 28 November 2013, 02:50 AM

Can't forget to factor in how desirable a piece will be.

For example 30% off a gold RO may be possible, but try finding that on the 44mm RG with ceramic bezel...

VICI · 29 November 2013, 11:24 PM

Thinking of a RG RO or ROO -

What are your thoughts on a discount for

1) RO RG chrono (black face, leather strap)
2) ROO RG Novelty

Anyone know what the typical AD discount is in the UK, for a RO or ROC? Where I live (in the UAE), the AD said there is no discount at all.

AK797 · 25 October 2014, 03:13 AM

Ads you can get 15% but over 20% from trusted resellers.
