How long to get a DateJust 41?

I'm NEW to the Rolex world but I just ordered a DateJust 41 (my first Rolex) from a place I think is a fairly high volume Rolex dealer in California. I gave a healthy deposit. Can anyone give me an idea how long this could take? They told me 2-4 weeks is normal but definitely not a guarantee. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone with recent experience. Thanks.

I guess it depends on which version you are looking to purchase. I was able to walk in and purchase a white face on a jubilee from my AD last week. They had several other SS options as well. (Blue, Rhodium etc...). I can’t imagine it would take more than 2 weeks to order one.

I bought mine last week too. I wanted the Wimbledon dial and was shown every variation they had. Rose, yellow, smooth, fluted, etc. So, you should get yours relatively fast.

Good luck & keep us posted.

Easy to get, have you checked online dealers? Could be at nice discount too.

Dealer is fast, maybe two weeks for a dj41.

Thank you everyone for the replies. It's only been a week but I'm pretty excited to get it.

My AD has about 45 DJ41’s. Shouldn’t have to order them. A very common Rolex.

Depends. The blue dial with fluted bezel can be difficult to obtain.

So funny, I was just talking to superdog about this. While DJs are technically a common watch to be sitting on the shelves, they make so many configurations of the watch that the chances of getting the exact one you want immediately are not very good.

Of course it’s not exactly a “hard-to-get” watch, but sometimes it can take a while.

I helped my friend’s fiancé buy a DJ41 for my friend like 6 months ago and it took about 6 weeks for the exact one he wanted to come in.

There is no way I would wait ANY time for a DJ. None.

Get your money back and look at our TS here in the classifieds. Guarantee you'll have one on your wrist before your AD can.

ADs are coming in cheaper than TSs on DJs these days. I hear ya on not waiting, but sometimes the wait is worth $1000+.
