As the title , is it possible to buy a new Sub C date with a discount direct from an AD ??

Possible but be prepared for plenty of polite no's.
I was offered a discount of 600 euro last week in Dublin, if you take the exchange rate in to account it might be worth a visit.
Mate of mine just bought one. The either or options offered by the AD were a discount or interest free credit but not both!
in london probably no! elsewhere - maybe worth a try
Damned those pesky ADs, its almost like they know!
Depending where you go you'll be able to find a discount- may take a while though!!
Here in bristol every AD that gets a subc seems to sell it in under 2 weeks, so not much incentive for them to discount....
But you dont ask you dont get.... Maybe give someone like iconic watches a call if you've got the readies ready
I recently asked in a Goldsmiths, no movement on the Sub. They sell at full price so why would they??
No one has mentioned it so far soo.....signet card=10 per cent discount at Ernest jones..
I don't know what the UK list price is, but the Dublin AD price worked out at around £5150.
Not for much longer. Signet have lost the Rolex franchise (or have given if up)Originally Posted by Yeti

5800 i think.... So a passable saving, worth the air fare and spend the rest on guiness ;-)
Thanks everyone , i was just checking my thoughts were correct .
All the ADs i have tried recently have said no discount and a long wait .
I have located one ( out of london ) and been offered a nominal discount , will be picking up tomorrow
I bought one from Goldsmiths in Newcastle (very limited choice for Rolex up here), asked the usual discount question and got the usual Rolex discount answer - no. I did take advantage of the interest free and part exchanged an Omega for a realistic amount so wasn't unhappy overall.
when i purchased mine and asked i was given a polite no and told that demand meant they do not require to offer any discount.was given 2 years 0% and i got the watch before a known incease for £4600.what are they now? £5300-5500?
I think Goldsmiths give 3 years 0% others I think give as much as 4 years 0%. The only way I think you will beat the high street is if you buy at the airport.
EJ do 4 years 0% at 25% down. Is it confirmed they are losing their Rolex account or is this just a rumour?
Definitely confirmed and I would actually be surprised if you could find a Sub C in one of the few EJ branches left that do still stock Rolex as the last time I looked in the window of their Bluewater store there were only a couple of old style EXPII's and loads of gold DJs etc.
Discounts are definitely available.
Not for much longer it doesn't.
Care to elaborate?
Correct.....stock on subs are generally thin across the board.
Iconic Watches - £5,250 with immediate availability and that's before you negotiate with them (I've always found them open to a bit of haggling) - the Rolex's I've had from them in the past have all been from UK ADs too.
Think there is a nearly new (or LNIB) one on SC at the moment too.

Why do that when you can buy a LNIB, < a year old Sub C full set , lovingly looked after and sparingly worn, from me for £4500?
I'll vouch for Scarto. Could make for a good buy!Why do that when you can buy a LNIB, < a year old Sub C full set , lovingly looked after and sparingly worn, from me for £4500?
