Need 7 Watches

New to the forum...

I'm looking to buy seven (7) new Datejust watches w/ silver dials that are exactly the same. I will also need the case back's to be laser engraved.

- Are there some dealers that will have all 7 of these in stock or will they likely have to be ordered from Rolex?
- What type of discount should I expect off of MSRP on an order like this?

If you could message me with a recommended dealer that would have these watches in their inventory it would be appreciated.

You're better off at an AD with that kind of order

Welcome to the forum.

Where do you reside?

You could try calling a local AD or Rolex Boutique. If they don't have seven in stock, maybe they can help you find an AD that has them in stock.

You could also, long-shot, reach out to one of the trusted sellers. You never know.

Sounds like it's going to be a good Christmas for seven lucky individuals.

Definitely should get a discount, no matter where you purchase. How much depends on your negotiating skill relative to that of the dealer.

i think with an order like that you should get a very good discount, hell the AD will probably close early after a big day like that lol.

Don't let the IRS get wind of these gifts. Sorry to be a skeptic, but I'm a CPA and recently had a client's company go through an IRS audit. They disallowed gift cards purchased for some special customers, for an amount over the allowed $25.

I don't see how we can help. Call your local authorized dealers and work out your own deal. Only thing we can do is speculate

Go thru an AD, you don't want your customers wondering why their warranty cards were issued in Italy, and anyway you'll probably get an greymarket level of discount from an AD if you buy seven.

It's a huge no-no for our company also. The external limit is $25 and internal, $100. We'll allow $100+ through but only if HR confirms it's been imputed to their income. It gets worse if it's a healthcare professional (HCP).....

I'd like to become one of your customers please. I don't need to be a "special" customer, though. I'm fine being a normal customer and getting an AirKing.
