How much of a discount should one expect to receive from an AD on a PM Rolex such as a Sky-Dweller? What is a good discount? Trying to decide between going AD or with a trusted seller. Thanks in advance for your input!

locutus49 · 17 January 2016, 09:05 AM

10%

HL65 · 17 January 2016, 09:12 AM

If you only got 10% when or if you went to sell you'd only lose another 25%. So better get a good discount or deal with a trusted seller.

GolfPunk · 17 January 2016, 09:14 AM

20% to 25%

beshannon · 17 January 2016, 09:32 AM

In what part of the world?

AD around 15-20%. Got tighter in recent years.

kamalrae · 17 January 2016, 09:57 AM

I was offered 15% today.

I've been offered 15% before, including last week on a YG DD 40.

I prefer to buy from AD's, but my next purchase will likely be PM, and the trusted sellers prices are way too tempting!

watchwatcher · 17 January 2016, 12:46 PM

I would get their best price, and then shop that here on the classifieds. Or get your best price here and take that to your dealer...if they can't meet it, walk away.

dardeca · 17 January 2016, 12:48 PM

25% from AD

Muzz · 17 January 2016, 12:51 PM

Depends on the model. Less popular pieces tend to discount more.

Eric Chan · 17 January 2016, 02:34 PM

Anywhere from 20 to 30% depending on the AD in this country.

HorologyK · 17 January 2016, 02:53 PM

Was given 25%. Aiming for 30.

25-30% would be great to find! Maybe I will get lucky.

Depewja · 17 January 2016, 03:12 PM

Could anyone provide names of ADs and locations? Would they tell you this discount over the phone, or would you have to go in?

Ruud Van Driver · 17 January 2016, 06:44 PM

Very much depends on your relationship with your AD. Mine will give me 17% on a two tone lady DJ that Mrs Van Driver has her eyes on and the same on a SS YM. On a full PM model, I would get around 25% but that's because of my past purchases and referrals. On a Platona, I'd get more again. I would not get those sort of figures if I were an unknown 'walk-in' potential customer; I've tried walking into other ADs here and haven't even got close to what he'll offer me.

In my experience, sellers in general (from watches to cars) don't like to talk discounts over the phone.

Do you think I would get a discount on a steel and white DJ II here in Australia?

If you cold call an AD and the person there quotes discounts over the phone, then you have talked to someone just trying to get you in the door. If you have a good relationship built over time and successful transactions then a different experience.

Since you said TX or FL - maybe check out DavidSW's listings of BNIB or LNIB and compare ask $ vs. MSRP? David prolly has better prices and a trip to DisneyWorld could be worthwhile

Seems to be the same here in the GTA

Racerdj · 17 January 2016, 10:15 PM

Call George from Govberg Jewelers to find out! Be sure to mention this forum.

1William · 17 January 2016, 10:15 PM

Should start at 20% and based on the model it could go as high as 30%. If you want to really save then go slightly pre-owned from a Trusted Seller.

travisb · 17 January 2016, 10:24 PM

Depends on the model, what AD and what your relationship with that AD is.
I wouldn't buy from an AD for less than 25 off. Otherwise, check with the trusted sellers.

Hpozzuoli · 17 January 2016, 10:52 PM

I was at the AD last night. He said 34k for a PM sub. You can buy a year or two old one for 16k. I figure around half price is a good reason to go pre owned if you don't care about the pomp and circumstance of the dealer. That's clearly a loss of half its value right out the door. I wasn't there buying so I am not sure if that was his final number. It was also at the casino which I find don't discount much near me no matter how much you buy from them.

You can't buy a 1 or 2 year old YG Sub for $16k.

Hpozzuoli · 17 January 2016, 10:57 PM

You absolutely can get them for around 16k. You can get BNIB right on this forum for 22-24k.
