Sorry if this question has been asked...So let's say an AD has a V serial watch bought from Rolex in 2009 in inventory. Fast forward to the last price increase...Does the dealer have a higher margin on that watch and in theory can discount it more? Thanks...

BeekerMuppet · 3 September 2011, 07:25 PM

Yes, but he has to buy new watches to replenish his stock...

nauticajoe · 3 September 2011, 10:03 PM

Absolutely!....and if it's a discontinued model, get ready to fork over extra cash.

well.. considering he had to keep that watch in stock for 2 years or more without making any interest on the money...

but i believe ADs have a very good margin so they may discount more if they really want to but would they?

Can you tell us what model you are talking about???

calibre1 · 4 September 2011, 12:53 AM

There is no reason why he should be giving you prices from 2009. An increase in price from 2009 means higher margin of profit for him.
However, he can if he choose so to give you a good discount in todays price but that by no means is obligatory. (This is where a good relationship with an AD helps a lot)

Thanks Jason!

We seem to have 2 watches in common....SMP Titanium and Exp II.

If my memory is correct, you wrote an excellent review of your Exp II in the "Review" section some time ago. Any update on that? Love to read about your updated review!

Exactly

The AD has to purchase at new prices so what was paid for the current stock really doesnt matter...it cannot be replaced for the same $$$ hense the price increase

I would completely disagree, I have great relationships with a few AD's...they treat me very well and I would not relate them to a parasite

I disagree on the Discontinued part....I bought my 16610LV NIB about a month ago from AD for just over 5k....They said if the AD is "legit" they will NOT increase price on discontinued models.

You certainly courted popular opinion with that idiotic statement.

Let's just leave it hanging there to laugh at.

Where did this come from? Totally uncalled for and 100% wrong!

I can tell you that V series are sold as new in 2011, and that as a customer one would have no way of knowing when that watch entered Rolex's inventory. The hypothetical of 2009 is strictly hypothetical. And the V series is not sold with a relatively larger discount because it's a V.

I have read through all 38 of your posts. Since you have nothing good to say about ADs, Rolex ,or anything else for that matter, I've helped you out from having to log in anymore.

Thanks. People like that only have one purpose and that's to cause trouble. I seek it often on a few other forums. Typically by people who do not have a life.

Now that the trouble maker is gone...won't someone answer my question?! L

My AD says Rolex AD are not supposed to raise prices on discontinued models?

Thanks!

hdrazor251 · 4 September 2011, 05:28 AM

Mickey - I would say that since the model is discontuned, then it will not be on the new price list so a new MSRP is not assigned by Rolex. Any dealer that increases the price on a discontuned model is actually selling above the assigned Rolex MSRP. Just my

Your 2 Cents makes a lot of sense! Thanks....

SALTY · 4 September 2011, 07:54 AM

I do not know if this directly addresses you question pertaining to price increases but here is my thought. If a dealer has a particular model, in your case a DSSD since 2009 - it is obviously not a hot seller in his marketplace. One might think that the AD woudl be wekll served by moving that stale piece and using the capital to inventory a faster mover - something he can turn over.

Maybe DSSDs sell better some places than others; I don't know but i would suspect that he could order a watch that sells faster than 2 years.
