As some of you know I was debating whether to trade in or sell my ladies TT Jubliee Fluted Bezel MOP Diamond Dial Rolex for the same exact watch in the Midsize and after trying on a Midsize I have decided I want to get the midsize.

Any Recommendations for good AD's that will offer a discount? The only AD in my area now doesn't offer a discount and doesn't have the watch in stock. I was able to get a about a 12% discount on my watch so I am hoping to get around that esp. since the Midsize is more expensive...

I have heard about some AD's offering a discount over the phone to out of state buyers and then shipping the watch and avoiding the tax. But, I have also heard that AD's aren't allowed to ship watches and they need to be purchased in person :shrugs:
Also, If the watch is not in stock and has to be ordered, will AD's usually still offer a discount?

The AD in my area looked through the newest Rolex style book and couldn't find my watch (TT Jubliee, Fluted, MOP Diamond dial) in the ladies size OR in the midsize, only with the smooth bezel....:shocked: I know it was still available as of around 2 years ago, did they stop making it and is now a special order??

TIA for the help!

You may be able to get a good deal through one of the recommended sellers on rolexforums.com. There are a few grey market dealers that sell BNIB. Otherwise an AD will give a small 5-8% discount, sometimes more on the TT or precious metal pieces, as they are harder to move. This is just what I have heard from others trying to get discounts; every AD is different.

The mid-size model number would be 178273 MDJ

I was able to answer my own question - My watch is definitely still made, I think that AD might just not have been familiar with the book and styles. I was recommended a really great AD on the Rolex forums, Morre Lyons in NJ. I talked to the store manager who was incredibly nice and helpful and not at all pushy and they have the watch I want in stock and are going to hold it for me until I can get to NJ. Very impressed with them so far.
