Discounts on a ladies TT date just

[awright101]

Hi
My wife has taken a liking to a Rolex date just. Stainless still / gold.
Retail is £8300.

Is it still possible to get a decent price on a TT or have they been tightened up as well.
If any one can recommend a PM would be appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

I asked this question recently at an AD and was told either 6% or 8% (can't remember to be honest).

I asked very casually and with no intent so to be told that straight away I'd be confident on more. I'd want quite a bit more, not sure how realistic that is though.

Do Rolex make a steel/gold Day-Date? Or any ladies' Day-Date for that matter?

Thanks, that does help

Have you considered buying Pre owned ?

Have you considered buying a timeshare in Cancun?

I'd say that the discount on a TT ladies should be pretty high...

I have just got back from cancun and couldn't belive how expensive Rolex watches are out there, I was hoping to get a cheapie and then sneak it back into Blighty, not a chance!

When I was looking to buy my wife's TT, the 2 UK ADs I asked said "no discount" despite both having the exact watch I wanted in the cabinet, ready to buy. I didn't ask a second time so perhaps the response could have changed had I persisted. I ended up buying at Schiphol airport for about 17-18% below UK list price. This was despite the higher RRP in Netherlands and the weak Sterling. Includes their regular "see-buy-fly" discount and the discount I negotiated on top of that. Can highly recommend buying 'easy' watches from Amsterdam airport. No VAT issues either (until March 2019 that is).

A Ladies Datejust of 26mm - 28mm can easily be purchased with 20% off the price.

My wife wanted a 31mm model and the larger the model, the lower the discount.

In the end she settled for a 31mm version and I ended up doing a deal on a pre owned YG model with a diamond dial and hardly got bugger all off it.

Interesting about size being inversely proportional to discount. I didn't know that but I guess it makes sense as some of the smaller ones I have seen don't seem to have much presence on even petite women's wrists. My wife also got a 31mm model. This one:

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. There is Heathrow as well I guess. I think I should be able to reserve one as it's not a sports.
