Rolex discount at Royal Quartz in CDG Airport?

Anyone bought a Rolex from here before and know what kind of discount they will give on a PM Rolex? Was there today and they have a 116719BLRO. VAT is 11.5% here so that's an automatic 11.5% off but wanted to see what else to expect.

.

For your information, Roissy CDG is in France and VAT is 20% in France not 11.5% .

If their price is only 11.5% below MSRP, Royal Qartz AD is making a supplemental profit with your money ... 33400€ MSRP in France for 116719 give 27833€ without VAT

before trying to have a discount, try obtain the real dealer price ...

I did and the sales lady told me she can give 5% which seemed kind of low for a PM Rolex. So, her quote was -11.5% VAT and 5% discount.

Ah, thank you Alpino for the info. Here is the full story. I asked to look at the BLRO and asked about VAT and the lady told me it was 11.5%. I asked her was there any discounts on the Rolex and she made a phone call to her "manager". She then told me they can give a 5% discount after speaking to the person on the phone. Here is where it gets a little weird. She told me if I bought it in the next 10 minutes or so, before her manager got in, they would take the 11.5% "VAT" off for me and I didn't have to file any paperwork. I thought this sounded a little off so I said I'd get back to her and walked away. My flight was boarding so I had to go. I am now in Barcelona so maybe I will look for one here.
