Datejust 41 availability

I've been browsing through this forum for the past week now. Tons of information! I'm in the market for my first rolex. Thinking about the datejust 41 (126334). From my limited research, it seems some of the more popular watches (SS models, subs, daytonas) are slightly harder to acquire, but what about the datejust 41? Would it be difficult to walk into an AD and have quite a few to choose from? Whats the typical wait time for one if not on hand at the AD? Also from what I've searched on this forum, 10-20% off is possible? Any input appreciated. Thanks

Usually they do have your model in stocks. My suggestion is be adventurous. Get inside a showroom and talk to the guys. Wear a few models and check if your heart sings or pounds. Move to another showroom if you want more adrenaline rush. Enjoy the learning process and be your own master. Best wishes.

The blue DJ41 seems harder to find, but I see the others all over the place. I was offered a 10% discount on one last month without even asking, so seems like at least some ADs are getting more stock than they can effortlessly sell.

Datejust 41 availability

Depends where in the world you are.

Here in the UK there is limited availability on the entire DJ41 range. If you want something in two-tone with diamonds you’ll find it, but stainless steel in standard colour dials and you’ll be waiting a while.

Fortunately I found a silver dial which my wife bought me this weekend, however when I was calling around the general consensus was 3-6 month wait. One store in particular quoted me a year! I laughed at that one.

When I purchased my sub a few days ago, the AD had the blue dial DJ41 fluted and smooth. [IMG][/IMG]

It should not be very difficult to source a DJ 41. The question will be the dial color and bracelet style you want. I prefer the white dial with the jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel. The blue and gray dial are a close second. Go try some on.

If there's a wait time for a DJ, I'm giving somebody else a shot at my business.

My local AD has no ss DJ41’s... yes they are easier to come by than some ss sports models, but even the 41 can be slim pickings depending on location.

The DJ41's should be readily available at most AD's, but also depends on dial color as some are much popular than others.. I would advise visiting some AD's because thats a great experience in itself. Good Luck!

They are around, even the blue dial is easily available. Call around and visit ADs and you will see them in the case.

I have not seen a good selection of DJs lately. I had to order my choice without ever seeing it in person. It's now been two weeks and counting.
