Got my first Rolex!
Today I walked in one of the local AD and there it was. A SS SUB Date 16610 M serial. MRSP was $6260 CDN plus 12% in taxes the total would have been just over $7K.
I offered to pay cash and asked what kind of discount I could get. I walked out with my brand spanking new SS SUB date for $6k all included.  Is that typical to get this kind of discount? Just 3 weeks ago I tried to get a deal while i as in Hawaii and none of the ADs would offer anything...I'll take some picture tomorrow during the day and post them.

Very nice choice! I bought my very first rolex, also a SS sub date 16610 M yesterday =D
In regards to discounting, the best any of the Melb AD's could do on a SS 16610 was 8%.

Great looking watch! Not an unheard of deal. Many ADs in the US are cutting deals on several models.

Great choice...great price....
This discount is not atypical at all....I paid the same for a GMTc at my AD... Take note to all the Americans out there...Great time to come to Canada!! The Dollar just tanked... it's worth 0.79 US$, and prices have not adjusted yet...the MSRP is very similar right now, and it seems like our ADs give bigger discounts... Enjoy some Canadian hospitality! |
