My AD called — do I pull the trigger in a falling market?

[GGGMT]

My AD called, my grail (126610LV) is mine. But. For a guy for whom money is real, would I be wise to wait for prices to fall below msrp? Will we see ADs discounting prices any time soonish?

I would get it. It’s a beautiful watch. The new Submariner dimensions are perfect. In my view, getting a Rolex from an AD is absolutely the way to go. Personally, I don’t see LV values dipping below retail anyway.

You’ll see used prices below MSRP, and grey market “new” below MSRP, long before you see ADs offering significant discounts. If you’re buying to wear, congratulations.

I would jump on it I personally think prices are pretty stable and on their way up again, it’s still a couple of times over retail this watch to buy right? I would jump at the chance - if I wanted it (which I don’t)

[Atmwireless]

I’ll take it if you pass :)

[cpatab2020]

Too easy. Get it!

Retail is 10,600 in the USA
Gray is 17,000-18,000

High was around 26,000 I think

Rolex are not going below MSRP anytime soon. Hard to imagine the LV in particular going near that. Just get it congrats! It is an amazing watch.

I'll take it if you don't.

Buy it, the price for that watch will never be under MSRP unless nukes start flying. Worst case scenario you can sell it if you need money. Win/Win

[leoaa777]

What’s your area OP? I’ll take that burden off your hands.

[Tensai]

If you are even thinking like that, pass. You are caught up in the financials, not the watch.

[garyk]

A discount today is getting the watch from an AD at retail!!!

Incorrect. Not looking to make money and never have flipped a watch (or ever even sold one). Rather, if people think we’re heading back sometime soon to the days where ADs will be discounting (which I remember well as it wasn’t long ago), I’ll wait. If not, I’m buying it at msrp

It seems pretty clear he wants the watch, he just wants to get it at a lower price.

Who isn’t concerned about financials when making a large purchase?

if a small chance at saving 800 bucks is worth a larger chance of not getting the watch at all, you should wait. if it isn’t, you shouldn’t.

I’m open to being corrected, but I was around when the first green subs were released, and I don’t ever remember them discounted at ADs.

You won’t see it below MSRP, get the watch if you want it

No way new Rolexes will be offered at discount any time soon...those days are gone for the foreseeable future.

[4 Aussies]

New LV from an AD below MSRP, I think never. Getting it at MSRP is a gift, jump on it now!!

[PBJ1925]

Assuming finances support, you should absolutely buy it.

I've been waiting for one for some time so always love seeing these land with members here. Do it before it allocates to a flipper.

Get the watch, wear and enjoy it...

[np2016]

At msrp from an AD buy it today before another client gets it while your thinking

[GGGMT]

Appreciate the input and insights folks! (Which are generally consistent with my instincts).

I don't think any Rolex, AP, PP, or RM AD's will be selling below MSRP anytime soon. If this is your grail, and you can buy it from an AD then buy it now. Otherwise, you can reach out to me when you change your mind and I'll sell it to you for a 30% premium.

[MP777]

It’ll never be under retail, get it now if you like it.

[S7gpt]

if its the watch you want my opinion is unlikely to find cheaper than price offered from AD today or ever given inflation alone. That said I prefer the black bezel and don't understand the hype for the green

[TNT009]

Man up!

[drrd]

OP just having a little joke here...

[Calatrava r]

Maybe, you are lukewarm on this watch? This piece will not be discounted by ADs anytime soon, but it may be somewhat easier to get down the road. But, with what, one, two or more Rolex price increases. If you really want the watch and can afford it now (it is still a lot of cash at MSRP), you should buy it as soon as it is available.
