Milgauss Z Blue discount at AD?

Hi all,

Once again, I don't have any experience purchasing a Rolex from an AD. Given current Rolex SS shortage situation, is it reasonable to ask and expect a discount for Milgauss Z Blue at an AD? Many people say it's a common watch and not hard to find at all... so I am wondering what your thoughts are.

Thanks all.

It never hurts to ask. All they can say is no.

Why should you get a discount?

I’d ask and if they say no, decide if you want to go AD or Grey. I could be wrong but I think they are still a little less on grey. Maybe that won’t last?

No discounts on any model... period... for almost 99% percent of ADs in the world.

Not a chance. Asked several AD's on that model almost a year ago and still no luck.

That was when ADs were offering 15% discounts on PM models. They don't even offer a discount PM now.

The blue z milguass is not common anymore and it won't sit in a case for more than a few days. I haven't seen one in an AD since last year.

Nope. Milgauss sell the same day they hit the case around here.

If you never ask you never know the worst response would be no

I would be amazed if you were able to buy it for any less than retail plus tax. Best of luck, incredible watch!

Can't imagine getting a discount on anything in SS these days. No harm in asking though!

I bought my Zblue 1 year ago. They had 1 in Stock and on display. I received a 9% discount with tax included. I do have a history of purchases with them.

Great deal! I bought the first one the AD got in 2014, was quite happy with my deal. Today is much different than 2014 and even 2018.

Sorry, those days are gone. The Zblue is definitely not going to be discounted. Anyway, you can always ask. Good luck.

I bought my Z-Blue just under a year ago. No discount from my AD. A few months before, I got a discount on a Polar and a few months later, I got a discount of a Blusey.

It never hurts to ask. You might be lucky, although I doubt it.
