Women's Rolex: How is the supply & demand?
A good friend who is pregnant and looking at 'push presents' dropped me a message today asking how hard it is to get a datejust, 31mm, MOP, Diamonds, Two-tone... no dealer history.
I have a pretty good idea of what might be possible/not for men's sports watches, but I have no idea if the supply/demand dynamics are the same for women's Rolex. What's you're experience? How hot is this model? Oh, and of course, gents, if you too have insights, feel free to share. |

Will vary by market.
Contact local AD as only they will know.

It’s a present from her husband to the wife as a symbol of appreciation for the welcoming of the new baby. Friends would not get other friends a push present. They may attend a baby shower to bring an outfit and diapers or something.

It never existed a matter of 4-5yrs ago, and at least here in the UK, neither did baby showers, they appeared about 10yrs ago from over the Atlantic. Silliness. ![]() |

Obviously all other reasons to buy a Rolex are far more justifiable than this, but humour me with some valuable input.. |

No, women are truly Superheroes through pregnancy and birth and postpartum, and deserve all the pampering they can get. Usually a “push present” is a gift from the father to the mother to thank her for the incredible amounts of selflessness, compromise and bravery required throughout motherhood. Think of it like a pre-mother’s day gift. So no, she’s not expecting the gift from me, it’s her husband who is in trouble there! |

A 31mm, TT, diamond model shouldn't be in high demand at all. Her wait may be limited to how often the AD gets that model in.

Not sure on a diamond bezel configuration in terms of rarity. My wait for my wife's DJ31, pink dial, fluted bezel on jubilee was 3.5months.

I would tell this friend who wants the watch to talk to her local AD and ideally have a Men’s watch they want to put themselves up for as well. First, as others said, it’s not a super popular model so it just depends how often they come in. But it should help them get something slightly more obtainable like a Sub.

Interestingly when I was recently discussing my request for the turquoise OP with a female SA (I am also female) in a bigger AD store she told me that she did not have a lot of requests for the turquoise dial because most of her clients were looking for MOP dials. I got the impression that she had a significant amount of female clients and that the most popular thing was MOP.

That’s interesting. MOP would be my last choice of dial. Maybe you’ll get lucky. ![]() Kat Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Best ask some ADs. I can't tell you what's in stock or how long you would wait.

If a woman needs a C-section, does she still deserve a “push present?”

Push Present... See the FUNNY comedy series Dubai Bling.
The wife should buy the man a Conception Present! Many women are trying to get pregnant, some fail... so the man earned a present. Conception Present... it's a new thing worth celebrating ![]()

Maybe it should be called a “give-up-everything-you-enjoy-in-life-including-wine-food-and-sleep-then-put-your-body-through-life-risking-trauma-followed-by-endless-anxiety-and-judgement gift”!?

From my understanding MOP is quite hard to find.

Women's Rolex: How is the supply & demand?
Since the material is from the inside of Mollusk shells, I guess it is. There is a premium when used on a watch dial. I have a MOP Tissot PRX 80 and it was more expensive than the highly sought after Ice blue dial, not by a lot though. While not usually a big fan, I liked it on this already very cool reference: ![]() Kat Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
