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. :rofl: 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.

:dance:

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 stuff- wear it in good health

That's a great looking watch. Enjoy it!!:thumbsup:

SUPERDOC 23 October 2008 12:23 PM
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!
