Discounts on 26401ro.oo.a002ca.02 ?

This is my first AP, so I don't know the usual discount offered from AP dealers......Any recent purchasers willing to share? Thank you.....

Thanks. I was offered 10%, but want more. I am used to the large Rolex margins and AP is new to me.

Then don't buy new from an AD. AP is really hard on dealers they catch selling at discounts. Gray market is your best bet or keep buying Rolex.

Rolex PM discounts are also tightening, 10-15% will be the max soon following announced plans to cut down supply.

+1. Buy used / pre-own ( but still under warranty ) if savings are important.

Seems like I can buy this one new at the AD for the same price I see the pre owned listed for right now.
