Do Rolex control how much AD can sell their watches? meaning AD all have the same price for a particular watch.

mjclark32 · 15 August 2013, 03:48 AM

I believe Rolex gives them a suggested msrp. Dealers can discount, but can not over charge. Those that know better than I will be along soon.

Cc1966 · 15 August 2013, 03:50 AM

My AD does a 5% discount off MSRP even if you use a credit card.

aeon888 · 15 August 2013, 04:39 AM

Depends on where you will buy your watch.

In the US, most AD's don't give discounts at all. Some may give 5-15% discount depending on the model and your relationship with the AD.

Whereas, Canadian ADs can give discounts ranging from 15-25% on even popular SS sports models.

Really? Why

77T · 15 August 2013, 05:00 AM

Rolex price to AD sets a floor - no AD will routinely sell below cost of goods.

Rolex distribution channel (e.g., Rolex USA) also prints a master price list providing retail prices.

Laws in different countries limit the relationship a manufacturer may have in controlling independent AD discounting efforts. Here in USA, the AD solely sets the final deal discount.

I paid $6400 for a DJ II MSRP $7150, there was no tax. That was from an AD

That's good to hear.

My AD does not discount AT ALL. First thing he said when I walked over to the Rolex case. So being how rude he was, I bought from a Grey Dealer on the site and saved $2500. (Used, but a G serial)

Congrats! A good decision IMO

Technically though...price fixing is illegal isn't it?

Price fixing is where multiple manufacturers collaborate on prices of items that are supposed to compete in the market. If a single manufacturer wants to set a firm price on their product they are free to do that - if the free market works and that price is too high the manufacturer will lose sales.

SWISSAHOLICS · 15 August 2013, 06:13 AM

I have done plenty of research and buying....buying from an AD is throwing money away....buying from trusted sellers here is the way to go.....for new or used watch.

krieves · 15 August 2013, 06:17 AM

I got a substantial discount a few years ago on my Exp II and got 7.5% discount on my Daytona. My AD has now lost their Rolex product line. Not because of discounts but due to low volume.

Rolexitis · 15 August 2013, 06:35 AM

Here are the quotes I got about an hour ago from my AD:

DSSD- $9300 out the door
Sub LVC - $7000 out the door
pre loved LVC- $6200

I'm REALLY liking th DSSD price

I spent about $16,000 in there recently, so I appreciate the discounts.

Some of you need to find a new AD.

Show me ANYBODY here selling BNIB LVC for $7000.

dcash0615 · 15 August 2013, 12:29 PM

I would take the BNIB sub LVC as well as the pre owned at those prices. Jump on it.

If I could get an LVc for $7k it would be on my wrist tomorrow. Which begs the question - why isn't it on yours?

I'm after the DSSD

Roma315 · 16 August 2013, 06:13 AM

If you can't bargain the AD down 5% you either need a new AD or need to improve your bargaining skills. First time I went to a Rolex AD I was able to take 18% off a Date-just and second visit 15% off a GMT IIC

Which AD is this? $7000 for a BNIB LVC is unheard of.

Maybe this is why your getting those quite frankly astonishing price quotes. I'd be all up for one of those LV's

mlaihome · 15 August 2013, 06:39 AM

Checked with my AD on current Datejust II SS and price is right on, but no discount:

Urosfan · 15 August 2013, 06:41 AM

If that price is correct for sub lvc I would be all over that awesome price
