You can get the same price or better from a Canadian AD if you don't mind doing your homework and negotiating a bit.
I recently purchased a brand new Sub C from an AD after a lengthy search for the best price. It took a bit of negotiating but they eventually came through with a significant discount that brought the price in the ballpark of the online dealers There were a couple online dealers that were a hundred or two lower but after I paid shipping and money wire fees it was about the same price so I went the AD route knowing I have a brand new watch with a 2 year warranty. I'm sure all the online dealers are great honest folks but I always wondered where do I take the watch if something happens in the first 2 years ? And things do go wrong ,even with a Rolex. So my advice is buy from an AD,you should be able to get a comparable price compared to grey market dealers and sit back and enjoy your new piece knowing its new, authentic, and has a 2 year warranty....PIECE OF MIND ! |

It all depends on your AD. My AD offers me 25% off retail and I get to try on different models and they are right there if anything goes wrong.
BTW, I have to say it... It's PEACE of mind, not PIECE of mind. I've seen it so many times I couldn't hold it in anymore! Sorry lol, unless of course you obtain your discount by giving the AD a proverbial "piece" of your mind. |

Got my first rolex GMT IIc from Davidsw the transaction was very smooth. But before buying it from him it, I really asked around to see if I can get a good deal with the AD around my area. Nobody gave me a deal like David. The watch was perfect and no regrets from buying it from him.

Yes, 25% off SS sports models. I went in today to look at a Sub C and he immediately gave me 25% without any negotiation. I can probably knock even a few more hundred off. For all gold models, I've never bought one but my cousin is a serious collector and I know they have given him close to 35% off. Now he buys 3-4 watches a year from them, as well as 3-4 Montblanc pens, so that has something to do with it.

I don't think you can do much better online when you add on shipping etc. Also there is Canada Customs to consider if you are buying it in the U.S. That would add on another 18%(13% hst & 5% duty) if you get checked. But I know there are ways that online dealers have that will enable you to avoid hst and duty. I just don't like to fool with Canada Customs as its not worth the gamble to me. |

Call Tony (JustRolexes). I've had a great experience with him. Read the reviews and decide. Mine was a 10 out of 10 experience, can't get anything better then that.
Give him a PM and tell him what you want !! I had 2 watches shipped to me in the last month from him.

That's a great deal Kareem and you might be able to squeeze a bit more with cash ?
I was in the same boat and decided to buy now because I think its just a matter of time before the price increases in Canada. My AD told me that the Rolex rep told her it will be soon. Regards,Dave |
