Another Newb with a question

Hi Guys / Gals ,

Fairly new member here with a question. Im living in the Toronto area currently and I was wondering if anyone could chime in with some good ADs in the area.

Truth be told Ive been to a couple, none of which are willing to negotiate ($). Could you give me some tips on which AD in the Toronto (or surrounding) area is willing to work with you.

And to my American neighbours .... what are your thoughts on doing a cross border shop? Any good reputable ADs in NY,PA,etc that are recommended.

The dealers here in Toronto that Ive visited want MSRP on everything, they wont budge Keep in mind also that this would be a cash transaction. Mainly interested in Sea Dweller or Non Date Sub.

I know its customary here to reply to such posts in a PM fashion,so do me a favour and share your experiences.

Cheers.

welcome to the forum.

sorry, i am in California so i can't help you there but there should be other members from your area that will help..

one piece of advise I can give you is that most franchised stores won't discount so look for a mom and pop type store

I agree, those mom and pop stores are the best places to look if you want discounts. Basically they are privately owned.

Welcome to TRF!

If you call your nearest RSC (Rolex Service Centre), I am sure they will be happy to recommend an AD in Toronto:

New York, NY:
212-758-7700

Dallas, TX:
214-871-0500

Beverly Hills, CA:
310-271-6200

Best of luck!
