Two Tone Discount UK?

Hi

Just wondered if anyone in the UK had purchased a TT Submariner recently and if so if they'd managed to negotiate any kind of discount?

I was thinking about a Blue faced TT as a possible next purchase (that sunburst is just stunning!)

My local AD has one but before I go and see them I would like to be 'pre armed' as it were with a little negotiating knowledge - obviously if there's no chance, don't want to look silly for asking!!

In fairness, there are a couple of nearly new/used ones on eBay that look genuine enough (original sales receipt etc) but if I can get a new one for similar money I'd prefer my name on the warranty card.

Any assistance/feedback appreciated.

Regards.

Do you have anything to trade?

I found my AD offered far more for a DJ31, DJ36, and Sub Date than elsewhere in lieu of a discount on the new Rolexes. They also discounted the new watches by 5% but they were DJs not a Sub.

Might be worth calling my AD as they are exceptional. Message me for details if you wish.

Thanks for the info.

I have a couple of Omega Seamasters I was thinking of using as possible trades, but obviously if it's a 'Rolex only' AD they might not be too interested.

Thanks for the offer re your AD, will bear it in mind

Regards

The ADs I’ve been to recently have both said thah even the TT Bluesy is a model that is getting harder to come across, so not sure you can expect a huge discount.

More fuel to the fire that 2018 is the year the Sub gets a big update..?

The TT Sub is a beautiful watch, also pretty hot. A small discount perhaps, but don't be disappointed if not.

They are Omega ADs too. I've sent a couple of other members in their direction and had good feedback.

Not sure about AD but you can get unworn examples for £400 -£500 below RRP quite easily. There is a well know member on here with a few shops in the north west of England, a good reputation and good to deal with has a TT Sub Blue Dial in stock. Happy Hunting

Thanks - I didn't realise - I assumed most sellers were US based.

Thanks again

Everywhere used to discount TT but not so much these days!

5% is about as good as it gets.
