Where to buy Submariner?

[phucks1976]

My mum wants to buy my dad a Submariner for their 30th anniversary. Are these normally in stock at official dealers or is there a wait? (anniversary in April)Is there any chance of a discount or are they all list price? Oh and what is the current list for a date or non date? Thanks in advance for your help.

Sub's are readily available - If your local stockist does not have one, I'd go elsewhere rather than wait! I know Rolex do not like to provide discounts, but I'm sure an Authorized Dealer would be willing to move on price if you bought there and then Someone else on here will have a better idea on discount percentages and RRP!

[digger_R]

It's usual for them to have bi-annual price rises, not sure when the next one would be due (possibly around March?) would make sense to get it before then

Robinsons in Liverpool had a couple a few weeks ago

The Submariner Date (116610LN) retails at £5320, and the non-date Submariner (14060M) retails at £4310.
Hope this helps...

Peers in Blackpool is closing their Rolex AD down due to retirement - they are selling off their stock, might be worth dropping them a line.

I got my Submariner from them and they were very nice people to do business with.

As you are in the South East a trip to Bluewater may be convienient , EJ usually has both in stock. Don't expect a discount !

If your interested in buying second hand I have a very good condition 2001 14060 non date I may be moving on for around the £2300 mark.

B+P? Service history?

Not a potential purchaser but sounds incredible value

[GasFitter]

Yes has box, original papers and even the little metal anchor. Never been serviced though, hence the price

[kazste]

I honestly am not doubting you or whether the watch is genuine but that price would make me think twice as seems way to low. If you got it serviced for £500 then you could sell it for significantly more than the price your asking plus the service.

Please don't take this the wrong way just don't want you to get fleeced.

Not taken the wrong way at all. The price was set at that as I was originally offered £2000 by a dealer. There going for around the 3k mark. It also needed a service, which was factored into the cost. Didn't want to wait the 20+ weeks rolex turnaround. For it to be in tip top condition it will have set the owner back around £2800 including the service, which i think is a fair price.

Watch was part ex'd yesterday for a day date.

Watch ads are free on PH. If you have one to sell, use the service, not the forums.

The global pricing is a bit odd: price here in Singapore then within about 1%+/- of UK price even though VAT is 21%? in UK vs 7% here .hmmmm
