I'm looking for a gift for my wife and know she's wanted a Rolex for some time. I've been out of the buying game for some time, so want to gauge what is a good price for what I'm looking for:

SS OP 34 (114200)
Silver dial
From an authorized dealer

MSRP is $5,050 and while I don't want to run afoul of any rules regarding discussions of specific dealers or prices paid, I'm trying to gauge what I should shoot for in negotiations.

When she looked at this watch a few years ago, we were told 20% discount (but we ended up buying a house instead...) and I'm not sure whether that's still the "going rate" or not. Thanks.

I think 10%. I say this because you can get this discount at any time from online grey dealers:

But - I think you should ping our 'trusted sellers' here on TRF and see what they come up with.

Thanks. I should also mention that she'd probably also be fine with the now-defunct white dial with black outlined hour markers if an AD had NOS available at a better price.

Could perhaps also be the "Air King" version.

Best of luck in your search! My OP34 holds a special place in my collection

I bought the same watch for my wife last summer and I offered $4500 out the door with tax included. The AD did that without much hassle. That price was within a few dollars of the exact same watch listed on DavidSW's web page.
