addingwatch Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Depends on the brand you are interested in. Rolex & Cartier are limited to 10% (but they will add in extra gifts). Others will offer more. An autherized Colorado Lange dealer offered me 38% off last weekend. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cats Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Rolex AD's tell you that they are limited , which is strickly forbidden by law BTW, by Rolex to 10%. Does Rolex have an agreement that they get all the cashregister info ?? If you tel them this they will answer how do i know your not working for Rolex as a mysterie shopper. Simple solution is that you convince them your not and , certainly at this time , you will get much more then 10%. Carpe Diem Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitoSosa Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Well... Id realy love a Explorer II white face... but its not my goal this time... to expensive for me right now... im thinking more of TAG, Omega, Baume... that kind of brands... no AP, PP, Breguet, JLC, Rolex... etc etc etc sniff... sniff... So... what to expect or to ask for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiterpete Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 When I was in Aruba I recieved 30% off from an AD but spent 2hours negotiating, but that was a Breitling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I have had several AD's offer me 25% off on TAG's and Omega's without my really even asking recently in the US. I think that I could have done better during the negotiations if I had actually wanted to purchase as everyone has seemed pretty anxious to make a sale. Cancun is a tourist location, so don't be afraid to walk away if you don't like the first offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitoSosa Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Okok... Sooo... its 25% or down... else... walk away... right? My mind its set it for 30% but dont know if Ill get it... Another point to negotiate I think will be the USD to Peso conversion... right now its something like a crazy 14.5 pesos for 1 USD... believe me... if I get a 30% its like paying for reatil a year ago...

arrowax Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 some brands are allowed 30% discount and if most dealers will give you the discounted price right away. Then you negotiate your way down from there. however, if you happen to want a watch in demand(daytona SS for example), or a watch they don't have in stock, you might have to pay close to premium. Yes they limit the discount on each brand and they differ, not only by brand but also by model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
