Rolex ad no longer give discount on half gold sports models

[Sgro123]

Is it true? Was told by AD SA..

[rayden2017]

yes! Now most AD dont give discount for sports models. Full gold maybe still got a little bit . But half gold should be none already.

Don't understand why are they doing this

It's just another form of 'price increase'. Works for them either way - increase the retail price and still give discount; or, maintain retail price and reduce/eradicate the discount. This is how they 'mould' consumers' mindset.

Not too long ago, some people will not even consider to buy a ROLEX watch if there's no/little discount given. Gradually, over time, even w/o discount, people queue up to buy. Now, even with premium slapped on certain models, people still buy!

I bought my submariner 116613LB last month from THG still received 10%, so fast they removed the discount?

Think I have to on hold for few months see how things go.. buying a Gmt TT with no discount is a no for me.. one of my friend(not close) got it at THG got 17% discount off with cc installment.. pray hard if I can get 10% off..
