Do ADs Uplift Service Price When Sending To A RSC?

When I’ve needed service I’ve always sent my watches directly to the RSC in New York. If someone dealt with a local AD, would the AD somehow uplift the price to the customer (aside from shipping) or would the final price be exactly what the individual get by going direct?

Thanks..

Same price to the individual but if you go via your AD they make a cut and thus Rolex make a lower overall margin

I let my AD send my watch to RSC for warranty work. Of course no charge to add onto but they also covered the shipping costs as a customer courtesy.

The issue with an AD is that they become the customer for RSC and make the decisions.

Sometimes they may make a call that you would not have.

I think the cost to the consumer is the same. I have never heard the AD gets some money from Rolex for sending a watch in for service.
