at MSRP you've got potential upside on price if that matters and minimal downside.
Doubtful that Rolex will mismanage supply enough to trigger more than 10% discounts at ADs Buy and enjoy |

Exactly. Best case scenario in the next 12-24 months you might save $1000. Buy it. |

The most I ever got was 10%. I figure those days are over for the foreseeable future.
If it’s a matter of affordability, even 10 doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of a purchase. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Getting offered this watch and talking about the good ole days I assume you know a thing or 2 about the current Rolex market. Unless you work with the brand, most if not all of us on here can predict as much as yourself, in that we cant at all lol.
That all being said, you must know that we are several steps removed from seeing discounts at AD's specially for SS. First the secondary market would need to approach or go below MSRP (still hasn't happened for SS). Then you'd need the flippers/speculators to lose interest as even if AD's start to have difficulty selling to loyal customers, the remaining people on the list and flippers would snatch them up gladly at MSRP. Once that crowd is weeded through, you would need to start seeing "hot" pieces sitting in showrooms. Once they sit long enough then we will see any sort of discounting, but you would notice all of the steps above and see it coming long before needing to consult TRF. Btw not pretending to be some in the know type as I have no clue if and when any of the above would happen. But if it is to happen, those are the things that would need to go down first. |

The OP has money problems or is concerned in this economy to spend money for non-essentials. If spending the money will make you not sleep at night, then you have your answer. You could also tell the AD that you want the watch but the timing is off, could they still keep you on their list for a future arrival? You might have to wait a while but you will feel better about it.

Not to be rude…but…If you have to ask that question, you probably can’t afford it or are not in the proper cash position. Would never buy anything that I have to ask an online forum about. Cheers and hope it works out for you.

I don’t get it to be honest …. You like the watch or you like to buy whatever they have cheap ? So if that is the case don’t buy any watch and pass for another person to get the watch

Falling market? Rolex’s don’t go below retail. It’s like chasing a unicorn.
Buy the piece if you love it and thank your AD. |

You’ll never get cheaper than MRSP on one of these.

Interesting thread (if of arguably low value) WRT people's feelings on the WATCH, economy, value of money, etc.
I suspect many are old enough to remember when Rolex shelves were full and discounts were not unusual. Hasn't been that long. Many may go back far enough to recall when Rolex's were just a corner of large jewelers and most cost less than $1000. I also recall that in 2008-09 as well as 2000-03 that guys who felt flush with cash, but likely had shaky balance sheets, were selling their Rolex's to pay for necessities like groceries and utilities. Both of my long-passed grandfathers, who were millionaires when that meant something, always wore cheap-assed watches and kept their non-flashy cars for many years, and would have considered it a sin to buy a Rolex watch or a sports car, etc. If the apocalypse happens or the nukes fly, people will trade them for a single meal. Just sayin'. YMMV |

If you have to ask, pass it on to another buyer who will appreciate it as a watch, not an investment.

You probably spent however long complaining you couldn’t get one, now you can get it and you want a lower price? Buy it if you want it, or you might not get another chance.
