People who've purchased off waiting lists
So for people that have waited on a waiting list for these hard to get Rolex's, do you end up paying the price listed on Rolex's website, or is there a markup?

MSRP as per the UK website. On one occasion they discounted me the MSRP increase that occurred while I was waiting for mine to arrive. On a more recent occasion, not. Fine by me, but I always ask.

Although sometimes you wait so long you end up paying the same as the grey price was at the time you originally went on the list That actually happened me once! Fact lol ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Waited for 3 Rolexes. Reasonable wait time for 2 and almost immediate for 1. Paid retail + state tax. They also gifted a restaurant voucher with higher value than what I paid in taxes each time.

You should only be paying MSRP from an authorized dealer. Caveat is as noted in post #8, if the MSRP increases while you’re waiting you will have to pay the new price not the old price.
Just an aside. Rolex prices stayed the same in the US for almost a decade but now seems to be back to almost yearly increases. My Daytona was $12400 in November of 2019, two jumps later it’s $14550 with zero changes. That $2150 difference might have made me think more at the time. |

MSRP. Worth the wait, which turned out to be shorter than I expected.

It's been a while since I've purchased a watch, but every watch with exception to my DaytonaC I've purchased at a discount. DaytonaC was the only watch I paid MSRP for.
