Every AD case I've seen has had an Explorer 2 Polar but nobody will move on it because of steelmania. Does anybody know of an AD who will move in these conditions?

T01 · 26 June 2018, 02:48 AM

Not without a relationship. They have no reason to discount when they can get full retail all day long. Used to be an easy piece to snag with a discount, my how times have changed in a few years!

JLM3 · 26 June 2018, 02:49 AM

Yup no discount in my neck of the woods also .

MRSP is fast becoming the new discount on SS references

Sadly so, but I wouldn't strike on an ExpII for MSRP, but that's just me.

Many here would love the opportunity.

Trusted Sellers still have small discounts on them

airpeace · 26 June 2018, 03:02 AM

doesn't hurt to ask

tgoddu · 26 June 2018, 03:24 AM

The sad thing is I have quite the relationship. I work at an AD! Cant get a discount until you're vested for a long time.

I guess I'll have to wait for a crash in demand before I pick one up. Love the watch but not for MSRP

The price might have gone up by the time that happens (if it ever happens at all) and the discounted price could then be over the current list. These days most of us would feel lucky if we could get a steel watch that we wanted for list price.

Is this the reason that you wouldn't be willing to check out a seller on this forum?

904VT · 26 June 2018, 03:55 AM

I've always thought the Explorer 2s were steals at MSRP compared to the rest.

Funny as based on the popularity of the Subc/GMTc I've always thought the delta needed to be wider, it was too expensive comparatively, one of the things that put me off.

Pius XIII · 26 June 2018, 04:09 AM

Even with a relationship it's quite difficult to get a discount on anything steel. Not entirely impossible, just more difficult. I think trusted sellers are still offering something off on these.

uniqueMR · 26 June 2018, 05:37 AM

MSRP = discount nowadays :)

colonelpurple · 26 June 2018, 06:03 AM

where are you ?
No dealer gives discounts on Rolex anymore
There are rumors of small discounts on datejusts and daydates and pearlmasters but as the UK is one of the cheapest places to buy in the world, there is enough tourist traffic, let alone locals, even to the remote locations

Whats been interesting, in the meantime, is that other brands prices have come up. A basic planet ocean with a date complication is now £4,600, the same price as the airking. I know that Omegas, Breitlings, etc. can all be had for a discount, but it makes me think perhaps that Rolex is due for a price increase ?

Nikrnic · 26 June 2018, 07:50 AM

I have a new and pretty good relationship going with my second AD. My first purchase with them was last month buying their last Zblue (still out of stock) and recieved a 9% discount.
I went back last week and they had 1 Polar still in the coffin, just in, not on display and l pursued it for the next few days and got it for a 7.5% discount and it wasn't easy ! starting from msrp l did the very best l could and we're all happy.

AD near me has them in stock (last time I was there) but even on Datejusts they are asking MSRP nowadays.

Dpop24 · 26 June 2018, 11:57 AM

DavidSW sells them at a small discount and you get to skip on the sales tax too if you don’t live in FL!

Better hurry up on saving that tax, sounds like that could be over soon.

Man if only this was the black dial!

JR16 · 26 June 2018, 01:17 PM

If you love the watch, buy it. While waiting for your 10% discount the next few years, Rolex is likely to increase its prices by as much , and you’ve lost precious time.

One of the 2 dealers near me had a white dial in stock today. The other didn't have any sport models at all in stainless.

scombs263 · 26 June 2018, 07:09 PM

U need a relationship, IMO. My AD offered me a polar one a month ago for $7,000, brand new.

Ignace Worang · 27 June 2018, 12:25 AM

I bought mine with 3% disc at the Schiphol in late 2011, I think you can at least expect 3% for 216570. As for DJ41, I got 11% plus GST in Singapore. Both were walk ins...no prior purchase.

that was in 2011

in 2011 SS subs and GMTs were freely in dealers ....

Harry-57 · 27 June 2018, 02:13 AM

Malory Bath gave me a discount in January this year. I have spent a fair bit of money with them down the years, and I went in to ask in person.

I bought a Z-Blue from them this month and couldn't squeeze a penny out of them.

When I looked last week, they had a Polar in the window.
