If you were buying two Rolex watches (Explorer II and a 31mm SS Datejust) What type of discount (Canada 13% sales tax) would you expect?

The GMT Kid · 11 October 2009, 12:01 PM

None.

tkc324 · 11 October 2009, 12:05 PM

i have heard 10% on date and explorer is pretty common.
in this economy... everything is negotiable... except for daytona. ( in US of course)

It really depends on the AD, but I would push for a 15% discount, maybe even 20.

bodybump · 11 October 2009, 12:28 PM

15-20% if you can...

JJ Irani · 11 October 2009, 12:30 PM

If Jocke bought 2 in Sweden, he'd get a box of Danish pastries FREE!!

blackmsport · 11 October 2009, 12:30 PM

maybe 15%+ and less for Submariner they never give great discount to submariner as it's most popular model.... I know they give trade discount of 10-15%

fkl118 · 11 October 2009, 01:20 PM

For 2 watches I would ask for an extra 5% off.

I know an AD in Ontario that has a white faced Explorer II at 25+% off. PM me if you want more info.

A free T-shirt - advertising the AD of course. ;-)

Take a trip to Alberta, pay 5% tax, and get 20% off

At the least I'd ask for no tax!

ingoodtime · 12 October 2009, 02:00 AM

Hard to say about the discount. We bought two ladies SS Oyster dates from Mayors. They offered a great zero % interest deal but you had to pay full MSRP.

Recently, I got a 12 mos no interes deal from another AD and also 15 % off MSRP on a GMT model. I think if I had asked for 20 off, I still might have gotten it. We don't know unless we try. You might also flash some cash and state you are ready to buy right now, here is the deal I need to make it happen.

Rolesor · 12 October 2009, 02:06 AM

I'm confident you could get no tax when purchasing one or both of those at once. AD's here in Toronto are always quick to offer me an "all in - out the door" price even when I make it clear I'm only there to look lol

Rolesor · 12 October 2009, 02:07 AM

I second "ingoodtime's" response as well. Cash will do wonders for you in that situation. It let's them know you are serious and the sale is then there's to lose if they can't draw up a deal you like.

greekbum · 12 October 2009, 02:30 AM

I have read on various boards that Rolex is taking a different approach soon.

They are purchasing stock from troubled AD's to avoid further discounting and limit grey market sales. In the boom times AD's didn't discount and sold excess to Greys,this didn't bother them but now is different.They will probably cancel all parts accounts to watchmakers who have not gotten re certified very soon.This will boost there service business tremendously and on new watch sales stop the discounts. I do not expect the 20-40% discounts in the future anymore.Get what you can now or buy used.
