Big congratulations on both fronts. Now get some sleep while you can, before your new born arrives...

I disregard all claims of "discount". On the internet it is simple to type and post "I received a 20% discount".. Or 10% discount, or 50%, etc...

Wow! And I was pretty proud of myself for getting a 15% discount at an AD in Toronto, on a GMT II without even trying! I guess I should have tried!

Congratulations on both fronts!!!

I got a 25% discount on my SubC in Toronto. Had to leverage a contact for it though. I was offered a 22% discount with no negotiation however.

I have heard of 30% discounts in southern Ontario and smaller cities though.

The discount originally helped to balance our ludicrously high MSRP ($8400 for a sub) compared to the pre-price increase US MSRP. Also because of our dollar.

Neither of those two factors are in play as much now. I went to my AD a couple months ago and they stated that now my 'super special discount' would be 22%, maybe 25% if I was extremely lucky and that they are gradually starting to remove discounts altogether (as per Rolex demands) on SS models.

Someone sounds jealous.

I'll say that the story doesn't sound ridiculous from my own experience and that of many TRF members. This has been discussed many times on the forum.

Congrats!

Here in Los Angeles the biggest discount I have been able to be offered after months of talking to my local sales rep (AD) is 10% off (but had to promise to name my first born after the sales person).
