I got 11.5% (£700) on my Hulk back in 2012!! Paid £5,350 for it. There is a 2011 on Watchfinder.co.uk now for £8,825!!

ADB85 · 22 January 2018, 11:33 PM

15% for my 114060 in 2014.
0% for my blue dial SkyDweller in 2017 (I did get 16% VAT back when I left the UK though) and a couple of Rolex wallets which I gave away to friends and family.

Ungucpho · 23 January 2018, 02:03 AM

I paid 7200€ in sept of 2017 in italy. RRP is 7900€ and i received VAT back, about 1000€. All in i paid about $7300-$7400.

Saved about 14% from US MSRP

Bond's First Watch · 23 January 2018, 02:04 AM

On my last two SS models, none! I paid full retail.

novae500 · 23 January 2018, 02:13 AM

Over BF weekend, i went into the local shop and they had a WG Daytona that was ordered but customer backed out. Retail was $18k and offered to sell it to me for $12k If i had the $$ i would have picked it up. They asked if i wanted to trade in my pepsi i had on to help out.

They refused to give me the Rolex warranty card but in house 5 year warranty “because it’s aggressively discounted” which thanks to TRF andcalling Rolex USA found was not true.
I complained to BBB and Rolex, who asked them to make it right by me !

That's nice, glad they made it right...great discount on a great watch!
2/2017 - 15% off 116613ln

Raypep · 23 January 2018, 04:19 AM

10 or so years ago: 115200 DJ Full retail
Within the last week on BLNR -- MSRP, I tried to negotiate, he would not budge. AD mentioned he would 'make it up to me' if I purchase another watch with him. However not sure what that means. But first I need to get more money!

Good lord...I'm with Mike. There's no way to remember what I've paid over the years. And why would I? To me it's really just sucking the joy out of the hobby.

I have always managed some sort of discount, but happily paid full sticker for a Daytona-C and SD43 last year.

that's what Jomashop and other big grey sellers do. They offered you in house warranty only and give you bigger discount. But for this AD to tell you it is brand new, that's just not right. Hope you are not doing more business with them after the Green-Sub. Geez, I would ask them to get me a white dial ceramic Daytona or Blue dial Sky-D with that discount.

Is this for a preowned? How's WG Daytona $18k retail?

Maybe the OP could let this thread run for a few days and then calculate the average discount per watch and publish out to TRF. Then, the question of “what is the average discount I should expect on a ______ will finally be answered.

SS sport models seem to be averaging around 7% or 8%. MSRP to 15% seems to be the range

They do that so the watch can't really be traced back to what dealer sold it. Rolex and Omega will cut you off quick for selling to grey dealers.

But a lot of trusted sellers will give you the warranty card. I got my DJ from a trusted seller here and it came with my name on the Rolex card, the original dealer name and full warranty

5% discount on my sub c plus no tax just last week

JM0127 · 24 January 2018, 10:11 PM

7 to 25 % average. More PM involved, more of a discount.

cht · 25 January 2018, 12:38 AM

Well you got some great deals, looks like those days are gone dor stainless steel sport watches.

demand is high right now for the stainless steel tool watches, all the places that actually have anything here in Austin and San Antonio TX are not offering any discounts on any model for any amount. Full MSRP plus tax.

I have never regretted that and feel quite comfortable that I got my money's worth and that my AD earned his cut, as well. He ran a first-class business and it was my distinct pleasure to have dealt with him and his staff for so many years.

Got 7% off my BLNR in Cabo in 2016, plus a 8.9% tax refund from the government. Looking back, I should have picked a few more pieces...
