My "past experience" is about 5 years ago so I'm pretty much outdated...

Not sure if I'm ready to commit as of now... $16.6K is a lot of money so will have to ponder over this a while longer before I pull the trigger...

Understandable, TIC that prices for ROLEX watches have increased absurdly within such a short span of time. Before you know it, $16.6K may not even get you a new d-Blue anymore in the coming months.

Your 'past experience' should have been some time ago (though it may not be too long ago). Take sometime to read up here. You'll be shocked how much ROLEX watch prices (mainly stainless steel sports models) have appreciated over a short span of time. It'll be almost impossible to get a popular sports model at a discount. To be able to even get a BNIB at retail price from an AD is a bonus already.

Sadly (happy for current owners), the DSSD d-Blue hardly comes with a discount, be it from the ADs or grey dealers. Even pre-owned pieces sell higher than its retail price (at the moment). Maybe, try visiting some of the ADs see if they may have stock. They can only sell you at retail price if they have.



As I had mentioned above, you're not wrong. But if you're lucky, maybe the ADs may give a bit of discount for the less popular sports models such as the Milgauss, Explorer and/or Explorer II, half-gold Daytonas, and probably the full precious metal sports models. Which particular sports model(s) are you targeting?

just checked earlier with thg. they mentioned no discount at all for the LB do you think rolex will be upgrading their movts come basel2018; that's the reason why the stocks are hard to come by recently?

You're welcome

The talk of the town is yes. They may be upgrading their watch movements, that is now causing the shortage of stocks. This will also mean that the price increase for the coming/new ROLEX watches is likely to happen, come BaselWorld 2018.

And if this happens, what do you think will happen to the prices of the current and older models with the older movements? Well, whoever are still hoping for things to turn around on the current 'crazy' pricing of ROLEX sports models, it's really time to pray hard

yes ur rite bro

If you're referring to the local ADs, yes. Very likely you will get the half-gold Submariners at retail price at the moment. I'm not sure if the ADs are still going to give any discount for the half-gold Submariners because it seemed the prices were ascending over recent months in the grey market. And in case you want to know, the retail price for both the blue and black half-gold Submariners was $18,070.

hi bro Oceanklassik, u mentioned half-gold Daytonas, how about 2tone subs? are they also nett price? thanks

Yes, that's the retail price at the moment. But seems like this price isn't going to last too long as there have been rumours that ROLEX watch prices are going to increase in the coming months.

Hi to all. Noob here doing my homework before I commit to "sell" my kidney for a Deep-Sea D-Blue (dream watch). Any chance that I can get my hands on one (BNIB) for about $15.5K and below? List price on the Rolex website is at $16.6K but my past experience with some dealers is that they do give about 10% or 15% off? Not sure if this is the same for watches at this level?

Appreciate any advice from the current owners.

Thanks.

Hi Bro, does AD gives discount sports model? I check with 2 outlets. Both claimed they do not give discount due to the high demands for it

It's not 'standard' price, rather, it's the retail price for the watch model. The local ADs are no longer allowed to sell their ROLEX watches at premium prices. Discount wise, they can still give, as long as it is within approved rate.

Hi there Hungryghost,

I was looking around for a Black Ceramic Submariner w/ Date recently, and the price quoted at 3 different ADs were 11,440.

Seems like a standard price set by Rolex when I asked!
