Need advice

Hi I’m looking to purchase 263310R001 royal oak chronograph full rose gold blue dial tomorrow. My Ad just called my and told me they have it and they can only hold it tomorrow what do you guys think it’s going to be my first AP and in terms of price is there a decent discount that I can get? Thank you guys in advance

The price you can negotiate is highly dependent upon your relationship and how good your negotiating is.
They’re pressing you time wise, which may be a tactic, but also could be that they have other potential buyers lined up, waiting for the same phone call – in which case their desire to discount for anyone is minimal at best.
If you used say Chrono24 to see what it's listed at, maybe even have a proper chat about what a couple will accept for it, then you can use that as your baseline when haggling with your AD.

Looks like it is right up your street so go for it. Check out the grey market as PJ says and make a reasonable offer.

There has been a few of these at grey dealers in recent months. Last bnib was listed at just over $37k from Takuya.

Not sure what you can get it for from an AD but may give you an idea of a market level.

If you do not ask for a discount, you will never know.

Not much I tried. But they have another buyer in line if I don’t get it.
