Rolex Smurf

Hi guys,
I'm not a Rolex man, more of a panerai person....
But however I love the WG smurf,
My question is what is the AD discount on rolexs, if any Aussie guys have 1, cheers

Or would a trusted seller be the best option?

Not sure about the Aussie market but in the US I'd expect at least 20% off.

DavidSW sold me mine and I was absolutely thrilled with the service and price. I think he ships worldwide.

Isn't Australia part of the British empire?

SMURF is a gorgeous watch, one of the nicest in existence. Buy from a trusted TRF seller who ships internationally (and knows the ins and outs of customs, etc.).

Look around on here, I bet you could get a mint 116619 for US22,500 from a trusted seller

I've watched the 116619 market for awhile before making a purchase.

Best AD could do at the time was 20 percent off and no tax which would be $29k.

From trusted sellers, new usually runs 27k give or take. Used from 20-24k depending on age, if polished, etc.

I recently picked up one.

An AD that I have a good relationship with (having bought from them before), could only offer me AUD44K at best (RRP is AUD47.5K). Was surprised they couldn't offer a better deal on PM.

I got a BNIB from Oscar (Bodybump) for a much better price than the AD and he was so easy to deal with. I corresponded with the other Trusted Sellers too and just happened to close this one with Oscar.

Go TRF Trusted Sellers everyday of the week.

Look for when the exchange rate moves in your favour and the Trusted Sellers will look after the rest. They deal with Aussie buyers all the time and can walk you through the process.
