Would you pay retail + tax on a Bruiser?
Hello, I have been looking for a GMT for a bit (couldn’t decide between Pepsi or BLNR). Today I went to my Local AD and he has a bruiser GMT New in the Box at retail + 8% tax. That watch is stunning and I think I prefer it over the Pepsi. Good deal?

I think depending on your relationship with your AD it’s not unheard of to get discounts on the BLNR. I wouldn’t pay MSRP. But I’m accustomed to pretty good pricing through my AD’s.

I did few months back. It was my first Rolex so excited to get it right away. My recent Hulk was purchased from out of state AD to save on taxes. I would at least try to get it tax-free.

A "good deal" is paying less than MSRP. paying sticker price is just a "deal".
You should at try to negotiate on the tax or have it ship out of state.

I just did - 6 percent sales tax though. If the rumors of a price increase are true, you'll wish you did.

A buddy of mine paid MSRP recently as no one has it available around him. A few months ago another one of my friends scored one for 8,1 at an AD. Luck of the draw I guess...

Can we all agree here to never call the BLNR a bruiser?
