Value of the lapis day date
I’m looking at purchasing either a plain lapis day date yellow gold or the lapis dial with the diamonds on just the 6 and 9 hour markers…any opinions on which is the more desirable dial etc. Prices seem to be all over the place but the range is 40-60…so these hold value well? Thank you

The plain lapis dial is far more desirable than the 6 and 9 dial.

Plain lapis is gorgeous but I do like the 6 and 9 Arabic diamond marker dial too. Just wondering what the true value is…seems like they range from 40-50….just don’t want to make a mistake as I know nothing about vintage. I found one from the year 2000 looks like it’s in great shape Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I’d say … be patient, hunt a while!
This lapis 6/9 https://loupethis.com/auctions/rolex...diamond-dial-1 sold for $52K in 3/23, when the market was hotter, and it’s WG, which carries a generous premium. I’d think a YG 6/9 lapis should be well under $45K today. |

I found a nice 6/9 one complete from 2000-2001. Last year of production they want 45k. Rolex certified preowned etc. but I duno. I keep hearing from people that the 6/9 lapis dial is not very desirable and could be tough to resell later. I’m not a vintage expert so I just don’t know…. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I can't imagine anyone spending 45k dollars on a 25 year old day date, so many nicer watches in that price range, this is of course my opinion.

45K is an insane price. Without that dial, the watch is 12-14K with a basic dial. I dont think a lapis dial alone is worth over 30K
