Has anyone had any luck negotiating with a Rolex AD? How did you go about it and how much % discount should I target? For context, I am looking to get a two tone sub

It use to be fairly common to negotiate discounts with ADs. However, in today’s Rolex market, it’s very rare to get any, unless you’re going for a full precious metal piece.

Are you looking for the two-tone sub with blue dial? I believe even that is pretty popular these days. But you can always ask and see what you can get. Basically get to know the sales person and then when you’re ready see if they can do a price adjustment. Personally, just throw out 5-10% and see the sales person’s reaction and go from there.

However, like I said before, don’t expect much of a discount or one at all. Happy hunting!

Thanks! Yes it’s the one with the blue dial. I will try for that and see what happens

With two tone you might have a chance. I bought my black GMT a couple years ago and the guy wouldn’t do any kind of discount - even just sales tax, even the credit card fees if I paid cash.

Another thing to look into is seeing if they’ll ship it out of state so you can avoid sales taxes

I would say that if you went to buy an OP39 you maybe able to haggle something out of an AD. Anything else they’ll laugh you out the door.

maybe on a milgauss or OP or something else they can’t get rid of. so probably nothing you want.

the only sub I could even find was the precious metal one. so you probably won't be able to haggle

I hate that I’m saying this but I really just want a beautiful watch that is horologically great but just has one pusher that sends a signal to your phone to do one specific task. I can’t tell you how often I’m out and about and I would love to just press a pusher on the side of a Tudor or something and it can’t just tell my phone to Shazam a song or something. I don’t want a screen, I don’t want it to be complicated, I don’t want it to be noticeable. I don’t have the answer, just the desire

Was just offered this by my AD. If I take it will my chances of getting a sub or GMT go up or down? EDIT adding context:
Originally mentioned I wanted a DJ (blue,black,green,wimby) but preferred Sub or GMT. Trying to understand if I buy this am I building social capital or spending it since it’s adding purchase but the watch is still in demand.
