Datejust value over time
As I understand it, a Datejust maintains it's value pretty well. Question is would a Datejust ever go up in value like some Rolex sport models? Are there any Datejust references that are worth more today than original retail price? I have no intentions on selling mine but curious if the value appreciates over time. Thanks.

SS sports models are in a league of their own.
IMO Most DJs will probably not appreciate much, if at all over time, wear and enjoy it! If you need to sell it in the future you can, but don’t expect to profit. |

For the 126334 (blue baton dial, jubilee bracelet, fluted bezel), I believe these are trading over MSRP by about $1k-$2k at the moment... |

Other DJ41s don't seem to do too badly. They largely hold the bulk of their value although you will have a slight loss if you onsold one. |

Depends what sort of timescale you are looking at. Long term they will not do great compared to sports I don't think. Just so many out there and so many variations.
Looking at the price of a DJ compared to a similar year Sports watch from any era and the DJ will generally be cheaper. I don't think this has shown on the DJ41 yet as its relatively new, but it will in years to come in my opinion. |

Historically speaking, the DJ does beat inflation in the long run

The DateJust is a commodity watch for Rolex. They make a ton of them and there are a lot out there. Historically they lose value over time. In the near term shortage market we seem to be in, the DJ41 in certain combinations like the Blue Flute Jubilee, may be in enough demand to keep their value but this won't last long. You are not going to see a DJ normally appreciate in value like a vintage sport model. There are just too many of them in circulation.

People saying DJs lose money should check current 1601 prices. You might be in for a surprise.

if it stays above inflation, its certainly gaining value absolute gains yes, relative value gains to sports model no. they hold value really well even if DJ doesnt come with box papers and worn with some battle scars if its a safe queen (full box papers hang tags manuals PLUS original receipt) with occasional wear, the DJ can reap some nice profits after 15 years + |
