Rolex Day-Date 40 in Rose Gold in ADs

[dxbwatch]

Hey fellas,

I'm currently on the hunt for a RG Day-Date 40 for the chocolate and olive dial. I've been put on a waiting-list in my AD in Dubai couple of months ago for a chocolate RG DD40 but still haven't received a call. The sales rep wasn't even accepting any names for the RG Olive DD40; I didn't realize this was in such high-demand. He did, however, offer to do a dial swap for 1,100 USD.

Have you guys had any troubles getting Day-Date 40s, RG or YG, from Rolex ADs as of recently? I did see a WG one on display. I feel as though this may be a Dubai-specific problem.

Cheers.

Olive and Choco are THE 2 most sought after colours for the DD40.

Very hard to find these days.

Pretty much all RG DD40s are selling above MSRP now. Choco dial BNIB from grays are going for like $42k+ now and Olive dial even more around $44-$45k so quite a lot above MSRP.

I did not know that. Interesting. I love RG just not Rolex RG. It’s way too pink. Also the only dial color I dislike is brown. People can call it chocolate if they want to make it sound better but it’s still brown. No thanks. I can’t even fathom paying above MSRP for a day date. I can’t even fathom paying MSRP for a day date. I can’t stress enough now is not the time to buy. Now is the time to sell. All this pricing madness will be over soon enough.

Choco and Olive are the 2 most exotic colours and because of that these days everyone seems to be drawn to exotic colours and as a result they are fetching a premium.

The rest of the dial combos are just ordinary straight off the mill ones on the RG at least.

I used to own both and let me tell you in person they are absolutely beautiful and mesmerising.

There is NO WAY anyone could say these are ugly. Absolute stunners.

I have held everyone of those in my hand and worn them. I’m sorry but I disagree with you. I wouldn’t call them ugly I would just say they are not good looking. :-) Compared to the other options I mean. I don’t like brown for any brand dial. Olive is tolerable. But pink gold for Rolex is just weird. I’ll leave it at that.

Well that may be good then for the others so they dont have to compete with you! LOL

Nothing wrong with not like RG or a particular dial colour. Each to their own.

All I am saying is this is what the market is doing at the moment for particular the RG DD40s. In fact Rose Gold is probably the hottest metal at the moment.

Anything RG whether its a Daytona, DD40, SkyD or GMT its flying off the shelves are premium prices.

You are definitely in the minority. Is never buy one cause it’s not my taste but they are very attractive combos

I agree ... milk chocolate maybe

Rose gold Day-Date with olive dial is the hardest to find now at the boutique/ADs, but you can get it from TS for $44k which is about $1500 more than msrp + tax, which is not too bad.

I am still waiting for mine at the boutique, the reason I don't go to TS because my SA gave me the chance to acquire all SS models so I feel like I should get it from her.

I have a feeling this Rolex production halt and their general lack of supply has something to do with it; coupled with an increase in demand. But those prices are not far off from MSRP after their 5% price increase.

Interesting. Is it normal for ADs to swap dials? Can they just order any dial from Rolex?

Some AD’s are also authorized for simple repairs and such. If you find one, they can order you a dial and do the swap in store for you. You can also send it in to the nearest Rolex service center, but expect to be without your watch for 6-12 weeks depending upon how busy they are. Also, if your watch isn’t pretty new they may make you do a service at the same tone. I confirmed the above with Rolex when exploring my options for a swap.

My larger volume AD get's DD40s in sporadically, used to have every single metal and dial in stock. Just the name of the game these days. If you express interest I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem getting one with no purchase history relatively soon.

They offer a dial swap for 1,100 USD and then 50% of that amount (550 USD) if you'd like to keep your original dial.

The AD wouldn't even put my name on the list for a RG Olive DD40. He said the list is already too long.

[macrowatch]

I think it's a dubai problem. But also lots of extra interest in DD these days with elevated stock prices cashing out to buy toys, so slimmer pickings from what I have seen out there.

[JodyHighroller]

As Peter mentioned, anything RG is flying off the shelves. The olive dial craze train has already set off from the station. I wore mine to a local AD last weekend and they flocked over to admire and asked how long did it take me to get, etc. They’re a larger AD and mentioned they only get 2-3 olive dials a year between WG and RG. The olive dial popularity is across all regions now.

I’d suggest to order and wait for the variant you want instead of opening up a brand new watch.

[sond86]

Wow I didn’t know they crept up so much
I recall it being 28k bnib for a chocolate dial from a TS just a couple years ago
I actually had mine since 2016 and now like to get a yellow motif dial
Didn’t know rose caught on after all these years

About 5 years ago I was having breakfast and my server commented she never seen a dude wearing a rose gold times have changed!

[jcarm981]

Am trying to get the olive dial RG. Saying maybe later this year but no promises.

[patrickjb]

My AD told me it’s a year + for the Olive. After sitting on wait lists and never getting the call in the past - I opted to go grey. I tend to get a bad taste in my mouth having to appease someone to spend my money - so I’ll take my business elsewhere, happily.

So far, it’s a fantastic decision!

for 47k, thats absolute insanity

[stidr]

RG olive. Ordered mine last Nov. Picked up last week. Not sure if things have changed now.

[peterpl]

The prices in the UK are even worse for Rose Gold pieces.

Any model pick whatever you want. DD40, Daytona, SkyD - ALL of them flying off the shelves for INSANE prices.

[10XRolex]

And to think, I bought a bnib chocolate roman from an AD this month last year for just under 30k. Go figure.

[jcarm981]

Awesome watch....I’m still waiting

AD in ATL has the WG DD in olive

[samson66]

I went to two AD's this past Monday and neither one of them had a single DD40 in stock. First time I have ever seen that. They had a couple 36 mm Day Dates but that was it. Hard to believe it's now gotten to the point that even PM $35K models have the be wait listed. The RG with Choco dial is my favorite by the way. It's gorgeous

[jcarm981]

I think there’s also a large portion of the population (myself included) that spends more time now trying to find joy in life during some of the stresses and challenges that covid has given us. And that includes buying luxury goods like watches cars, etc. so perhaps that has also driven prices up.

Won’t get into an economic debate or say that I have any clue what watch values will be in the future. But barring a complete global economic collapse - and maybe that is what you are suggesting - I don’t see 2015 levels happening anytime soon.

[HippoPAPAmus]

Time will tell. As someone who has resisted going grey, I certainly won’t complain about seeing more watches in cases. Cheers!
