Re: The best price from an AUTHORIZED rolex dealer

: I am looking to buy my future husband a rolex
: submariner for a wedding gift. Do all
: authorized dealers sell the same watch at
: the same price? Or are there places to get
: the watch cheaper?
: Thanks

First off, congrats on your future husband! I hope the wedding goes well.

Secondly, the answer to your question is 'no.' Authorized dealers do not have to sell watches at the same price, but for Rolex watches, where the demand is high, they pretty much do sell for the same price. You'd be hard pressed to get a 10% discount from a Rolex AD, while Omega dealers have been heard to discount up to 35% from MSRP.

Thirdly....... This is an OMEGA forum, it would behoove you to try out Rolex forums like the ones on Timezone or WatchuSeek.
