An extra link is always included (This would never be a deal breaker). 15%... hmmm no. I would negotiate a bit more. In my opinion it is most important that you make sure you are negotiating with someone who can make decisions. Minions can be blamed for miscommunication when it comes down to cash time (I've had an issue where a manager claimed the person didn't have authority etc.)

I walked in into a Mayor in FL with shorts and t shirt. Looked for a YG DD and the lady said 23% off straight away :D
Z serial.. 30% off at least.. I wonder how many ppl have tried that watch!

As for the AD, hold out for at least 20% and the link.

IMO that's a terrible discount for an all gold watch.

As for the discount, I know of 2 ADs that do 30% off yg day-dates if you are paying cash. 15% is almost insulting, regardless of how you are dressed.

20% plus the extra link is a fair deal for YG. For WG maybe a bit more.
If you can find used or grey market you can save some more. I bought mine from an AD because I wanted new and do not plan to flip mine ever. (I hope.) I wanted my DD to be virgin, no questions asked. |

Hey, Nikos; Are you including DavidSW, Oscar (Bodybump), Mosco, Justrolexes, etc. and yourself (a TRF Seller) in the rant?? Or have I misunderstood your post? J. Alan |

My experience with ADs..
I always get 25% on 18k pieces. I would look around or give one of the sellers here on TRF a try - DavidSW .

No... if I'll find a $100 dollar bill - I will not sell for $60 ! But ...if I buy a watch "on the cheap" I will try not to make a "killing" and let a fellow member here at TRF buy it at a reasonable price Money-Making was not the reason I became a member here. Do not take me wrong I like the "chase" and I will go to great lengths to make a deal and if it is a.. 6239/Newman dial ? I'll make a deal with "Diabolo" himself...you know Cartier you know who that is.. The article was not aimed at you - your sales ads to general posting are one in twenty four approximately... which shows you are interested in many subjects other than strictly sales. What comes to mind is an MTR.SLB88.101-801...that I like...for 300.000 CHF.-.. |

With anything YG, grey market BNIB is the only way to go IMHO- try contacting DAVIDSW.

What "extra link?" Rolex does not have an extra link when new.
