Hey Guys !

Any of you had troubles getting a Datejust 41 from an AD as a first watch ? Also I never bought any jewellery from the store... Any advice ?

Thanks.

Krash · 24 February 2022, 12:01 AM

I have one on order. Silver dial, fluted bezel, jubilee. I was told I'd get it anywhere from 2 months to 1 year. It's been 2 1/2 months. I also read on this forum you can't even order them now. Not sure if that is true or not...

Pauluccu · 24 February 2022, 12:15 AM

Thank you !!!

Welcome to the forum

samson66 · 24 February 2022, 12:18 AM

Welcome and yes it may take a while. I was lucky with my AD in that it only took about a month and a half to get mine in, but I had a fairly long history with that particular AD. May take a bit longer for brand new customers.

travisb · 24 February 2022, 12:26 AM

Easier than a professional model but everything is tough to get these days. Reach out to your local AD and express your interest and the exact model you’re looking for.

dpt.calvin · 24 February 2022, 12:33 AM

Last year my AD offered it to me within a month. I passed. Wish I didn’t because times are different now…

zelaya · 24 February 2022, 01:07 AM

payment history will be a big factor. It took me about a month to get mine however, I do have a long history with my AD. Also, is your AD located in a shopping center? the reason I asked is that those places get more traffic of customers and can become challenging. Maybe if you start in a family-owned AD. Good luck with your search.

Just ask them. Grey premiums are so low I just grabbed one off the forum recently. I have a decent relationship at AD but didn't bother knowing I'd have to wait anyway given the 1,000 configurations they arrive in. So many dark dials out there. This is a fun change up.

HelloMelo · 24 February 2022, 01:36 AM

Mine took about a month or 2 with almost no purchase history. Just a small purchase for the wife

Bucksfizz · 24 February 2022, 02:10 AM

Was lucky for mine waited around a month and picked it up last September but that was through a referral, without I'd still be waiting I think.

Alcibiades · 24 February 2022, 02:26 AM

I bought my 126333 essentially same day from an AD about 1 year ago, first purchase from them. Wouldn’t be able to do that today

Rolexken · 24 February 2022, 03:42 AM

I got mine from the AD window in 2019, times have changed ! Watchfinder who are one of the largest grey market dealers in the UK only have 9 in stock at about retail + 30% for newer models

I love silver dials but these days (I’m 64) I struggle to read the time unless it’s a dark dial background ☹️

Great premiums low? What planet are you living on?!?

David is currently asking $12,595 for a NIB 126234- that ain’t even a DJ41…

HelloMelo · 24 February 2022, 04:03 AM

Are datejusts now an allocation piece?!

On my DJ41 the MSRP from AD is $10,250 + 8.375% sales tax = $11,108.

I paid $13,500 and got it next day for a $2,392 premium. Compared to the premium on submariner it's pretty damn low IMO.

Indeed- you did well in this market IMHO. Thank you for sharing the cost information! DJ41 is at least a year wait in my area even with a relationship.

No tax on the grey market purchase, correct?

Absolutely. They claim to have no control over what comes in for allocation pieces. Which means you may wait forever for a specific configuration and even then get beat out by a steady jewelry buyer who gets offered it first.
Go grey
They'll take
The pay

GMT Aviator · 24 February 2022, 08:12 AM

Mines a DJ2. Really enjoy the silver dial.
