Anyone gotten a discount on a SS Submariner this year?

I’m gonna pick mine up from an AD tomorrow. It’s set aside for me, no wait list was involved. I’m wondering if anyone has had success getting a discount in this situation since the Great SS Drought has begun. I’m in the Southwest, USA.

I've gotten the tax in discount. Between 5 and 9.25%.

It’s getting much harder to get any discount from dealers now. It all depends on your relationship with your dealer. With a good relationship I got 15% off

I paid retail. The AD has four stores. I got the only SS Sub they had, a ND, because I walked in the day after they got it. They had gotten one SS Sub date also, it sold before I walked in the door.

SubDate got 9.25%. The Sub I got 7% today driving through on my way to Mardi Gras. Both equivalent to the state taxes of TN and MS.

In Montreal, I get the tax (15%) in discount for the LN date or ND. I get that pretty much for all SS sports models. 20% off my DJ41.

LVc and BLNR I purchased at retail with no discount. And my history goes deep with my AD.

Yup, asked for that amount off and it just took a bit of haggling. Since this was a smaller market AD I think it was easier to pull off.

Last summer, I got my 114060 at list (though in a tax free state), but I was offered a Polar 216570 at 20% off (at a store in an 8% sales tax city). It was my second time buying from the tax free place. I'd never bought from the other place.

Sub ND purchased in the U.K. last week. First time dealing with the AD and first Rolex. Paid retail - asked, but no chance of a discount here on that model - waiting lists and too much demand. Did manage to get a gift thrown in though!

I got 11% off an LVc....and didn't ask for a discount. I was ready and happy to purchase at retail, especially considering the trusted sellers are asking 11k plus. I know I got lucky with my purchase but discounts are still possible.

For you members who bought a Hulk, are you planning to wear it and keep it or flip It?
