How much discount should I expect on a 178245?

I am about to pull the trigger on the 178245 18ct Everose 31mm with presidential bracelet, pink dial, fluted bezel. I am buying buying it either in Paris or London. What's a discount I should expect to receive? I am definitely getting it from an AD and k expect a discount. Can someone also confirm the price for me please I was told it was eu$25600. Is that correct?

Good move on Europe. Here Rolex USA has a no discount policy. Although I've done it doing a cash three watch deal. Even then the discount wasn't so hot. Good luck.

Not true and discount level is up to each individual AD. While Rolex would like no discounts or little ones that is hardly the case and if it was AD's would sell very few watches and be out of business in a matter of time. In fact Rolex USA has no idea what AD sells watch for and only thing they know is how many ordered, how many sold and serial number of watches when scanned upon sale. That is one of the reasons why Rolex and other companies like Patek use mystery shoppers to test AD's.

I think 20% on this ref is possible in London, but try some others around London for maybe more off.

Thanks! I'll be in London for only one day. So I'll check out some Ads. Do you think I'll be able to get 20% somewhere in Paris whete I'll spend most of my time?

Most likely from one just outside Paris, if you have more time.

Good to know. I am just quoting what I heard from two separate dealers here in NY. Also Little Switserland in the Caribbean lost their AD status for discounting. We were told on Royal Caribbean cruises. Serious no argument from me. Bring the discounts. Truth be told. I had to do a three watch deal and it had to be cash for the AD to give us a discount. That was 2002. Maybe times have changed since then.
