If you go ahead, you can change your mind and cancel the warranty within 45 days under consumer legislation. Mr Anker also recommends staying quiet after inquiring about a discount. The chirpy manager explains she cannot discount new stock, but shows me similar styles in the sale.
It would seem that, despite my British bashfulness, I may crack the art of High Street haggling after all. Some links in this article may be affiliate links. If you click on them we may earn a small commission. That helps us fund This Is Money, and keep it free to use.

Tudor Pelagos LHD 7. Tudor Black Bay Harrods Instagram: mykicksandticks. Originally Posted by al It may depend on the make and model. I purchased a high end Breitling watch, last year from Goldsmiths. They were fair but it took a little bit of bartering.
I tried it on, they wanted to know if I was ready to buy, I said I will go for a coffee and think about it, but they need to 'think discount'.
I came back one hour later and asked what have they come to on the price. First offer, I refused. Then I gave them a figure I wanted to pay. The Manager called his Manager and we finally had a deal, close to my price if I paid on the day.
Apparently they can sometimes do a deal. If across the company region they have maintained a profit margin overall. Always worth a try to Ask and Ask again Originally Posted by rmou.

Look at it this way, you get a fabulous watch which will hold it's value in a remarkable way. So you do pretty well out of the deal. Lampoc 5 posts. February 10, Rolex don't give AD's a percentage that they are allowed to discount by, everyone is held to full retail price and if they get caught discounting by a quid then their franchise is gone.
Worst thing you can do is just assume you won't get one, so you don't even ask. You shouldn't make any assumptions on how the sales are going that month either for that salesperson, that brand or. March 3, Unless it's 18K or Bi-Metal or the less saught after stainless or That said, I'd go in, try it on, have a coffee and a chat. They'll likely say no way in which case you can ask them what their best discount is.
Do you have a discount in mind? Never been offered a discount, but have been offered incentives. None of which appealed to me, but might to others.
Things like a massive discount off another different brand watch for my wife etc, etc. I've also heard several times that Rolex never offer discounts and I didn't ask when I bought mine. It seems to be when you look round Rolex are always the same price across the board from AD's. Having said that you've got nothing to lose by asking.
Guess with Rolex it's usually a sellers market, so they can charge what they like as somebody will always pay it. You shouldn't make any assumptions on how the sales are going that month either for that salesperson, that brand or the shop as a whole.
If you do ask, ask in a way that doesn't give them an easy out e. Sales people never like customers leaving to " think about it " as that's when people become rational and decide not to commit. Just work out the numbers and take charge of the deal from the get go. Probably helps if you are actually serious, have cash and are there to do a deal and not just sightseeing though. Oh Lee I used to really like you Speaking from experience, your chances of a discount from a big chain like Goldsmiths on a Rolex is close to zero.
If you spend a good few quid and are known to them then you might have a shot, but if you're a walk-in then pretty much no chance. Not many independents left now as Rolex stockists, but they will always be your best bet for a deal.
Have Iconic Watches not got your watch listed? Best chance of a discount is by someone here recomending you to a dealer they have dealt with for a while. Rolex don't like to hear anyone offers a discount, but it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. There are discounts that Rolex allow retailers to give, above that they risk the entire dealership.
Dealers tend to offer rarer watches as incentives to really good customers such as picking up a ceramic daytona, if this is your first and only Rolex then that's not likely to happen. What's the protocol here? I assume there's more to it than "what's your best price"?
Can anyone who's done it successfully enlighten us? Be polite and open for discussion with them. Be prepared to walk away if need be. Do your homework and have details of other shop prices to show them if you can get elsewhere near the price you want.
Let them know you have the funds and ready to do the deal that day if required. Good luck. I think the watch you are looking to purchase is a major factor in determining a discount. I love nothing more than getting a discount or a deal but on occasions the full RRP has to be stumped up.
A dealer is also more likely to negotiate if you are ready to buy there and then. Good luck! Totally depends what you are buying. Higher value items from stock would have higher discount potential IMO.
Thanks for the replies. Regrettably I'm not in white gold Rolex territory though. I'm looking at a Speedmaster Professional, probably around cash:finance. In anyone's experience are the store more or less likely to offer a discount based in your payment method e. Full payment, full finance or a mixture? I am unsure whether you can obtain finance and the discount at the same time with this deal but you can get around this by purchasing on an interest free credit card.
Does anyone know what kind of discount is available at boutiques. If it must be an AD you shouldn't have much trouble. Be friendly and open, make it clear you will buy , tell them what you expect to pay. I'd never pay retail on any Omega. I've had my head buried in Rolex for the last little while so it's nice to hear some other brands can achieve discounts on regular steel pieces.
