Day-Date Delivery Times
Went to my local A.D. and ordered my YG Day-Date on June 5, 2021. Fully paid entire purchase price up-front. I was told at the time to expect delivery in 2 to 4 months. I've seen posts of delivery in about 4 months, but its now been more than 6 months and still no word from my A.D. Did I order from the wrong A.D.? Should I cancel my order? Should I continue to wait? Can anyone please give me any feedback on Day-Date wait times?

You need to get with your AD ASAP and discuss those concerns.

Yellow gold is still fairly priced going grey. Seems like a long time to wait for a YG 40 paid in full

Paid in full in advance? Ugh. Deposit fine but full?
Talk to your AD on a serious level. Now you need to chase the watch or chase the refund, either way you're behind. YG DD can take up to a year, 2-4 is too short a time frame IMO. Good luck and keep us posted! |

You should not be waiting that long for a YG DD.
I would talk with them and give them a 14-21 day deadline to produce the watch, otherwise a full refund. I am 100% sure that the watch will magically appear in that time period. Secondly, do you even feel like proceeding with this AD or place your volume in another location? A DD is a mighty fine relationship building piece anywhere |

YG DD40s are selling for more than $12k+ over MSRP on the gray market. These things are red hot at the moment and all the scalpers will buy up any watch that they can make a profit on.
I've been quoted 18+ months for a YG DD40 and some ADs said dont even bother they have more than 100+ ppl on the wait list. |

Paying in full gives the AD a perverse disincentive to deliver the watch. If they sell to someone else with no deposit on the list, they have positive cash flow from the margin on the watch. With you they have to shell out the invoice cost. Sounds like a no cost loan without a maturity. I received my DD40 last year after a six month wait during Covid.

Did you specify a specific dial configuration? Or just the first DD40 they had available? What would be considered the hot combinations among the YG line?

All Day-Date are selling like a hot cakes. Rolex doesn't take any order from ADs, AD will sell it to you whenever they get it from Rolex. If there are more people are waiting at your AD, it will take longer than you expected.
Don't ask for your deposit back, wait a little longer, it should comes in soon. Good luck to you!

If you want my advice go in person and politely ask if there’s an update as you’ve been paid in full for x months and are really excited but wasn’t expecting this sort of wait.
Don’t mention forums or other people waiting less time etc Just be a nice guy trying to figure out when his watch will arrive that paid in full a very long time ago. If you don’t like their response ask for a refund and move on. Unfortunately DD40 are currently a hot item going for 10k over on average with more for RG and certain dials. I was offered one recently and they treated it like they were doing me a favor. As crazy as it sounds, they were.

It might just be a hype thing but ive never seen so many people interested in day dates before. People are very into bling factor right now. Guilty as charged

Good luck OP |

My AD has also had trouble sourcing my wife a YG DayDate. I don't think they are as easy to come by as people think. The demand for them has changed in the past year. I would say give your SA a call for an update and just be patient.
Part of the reason why the market is the way it is now (with grey prices) is because everyone wants instant gratification. People are prying on our impulsive weaknesses and exploiting them. |

If you felt comfortable in your abilities, you could have invested that money aggressively and likely gotten more than the grey market premium in the amount of time that it sounds like you’ve waited and will likely continue to wait—although I’m not sure which exact reference this is.

The AD sales rep said they know nothing and get no updates from Rolex ever. He said "It will just get here when it gets here". I then asked for the store manager, who told me the last day date they received took 9 months. I'm currently at the 8 month mark. DayDates like mine are going for close to $55K on the grey market, so I guess I'll continue impatiently waiting.
I know it was a bad investment and a bit risky to pay the full amount upfront, but I had hoped it would spur them to rush my order. I now realize the opposite could occur :-( |

Something is up here… How is your relationship with your AD? What is your spend history?
Rolex stopped taking orders around that time. I got my deposit applied toward another model, I too wanted a YG W Diamond dial. I’m not the only one on here who’s AD told them about Rolex pausing all orders. Something about that known fact, and paying in full with no end in sight, wouldn’t sit well with me.
