When will the New DJ41 Dials be in for AD/Grey market

[CasinoRoyale_007]

126300-0017 (Datejust 41 with the new blue roman dial) <- new here so I can't post links yet...but it's visible on the website.

Am starting to fall in love with this one, maybe even more so than with the GMT IIc...figure it'll fit really well in a collection with a Omega SMPc (sorry no 16610/116610 lol) and perhaps a JLC MUT Moon

Any experts here know when the new datejust 41 dials (I think the romans in blue dial and white dial are new this year for the dj41) will hit the ADs? Or the grey market (I'm impartial to buying mint if available sometime within the next year).

However, if people think it'll take too long to hit the grey market, I'll just walk into an AD and put down a deposit. That being said, clearly there will be a difference between the ~6600 price for a mint gray market DJ41 and the ~7350 + tax = ~8000 MSRP for a new dj41.

(Based on the USA, btw).

Searched around on the forums and have only found one person who said that they ordered the white dial roman dj41 from an AD, so please help me out here, experts!

Supposedly they are to be released at the end of the summer.

Thanks!! I don't expect there to be any big shortage of DJ41s lol (hope not), so I guess I'll wait until then and make a call on whether to go AD or gray. Saw some BNIB DJ41s for ~7k and a bit recently, so I'm not sure if the new blue romans will go that route but we'll pray for that.

Might have to snag an explorer in the interim to wait it out.

Nice catch! I hadn’t realized those were introduced. Late summer sounds about right....

I ordered the white Roman April 14th and was told 1-3 months but the AD was guessing. Haven’t heard anything yet. Went fluted/jubilee.

Hahahah - you must be that "only member whom I found discussing these new dials" I referred to in my original post!! You're must also be on CWC, right?

And hmm - I really want to see the blue romans so badly in person.

I like the new DJ41 dials as well. Especially the romans on the blue dial looks great!

I'm hoping that the roman numerals will "encircle" dial and make the watch wear a little smaller?? Honestly if the DJ41 were shaped exactly like the OP but with a date, we'd have a winner.

Man I wish they would come out with a silver roman.... fingers crossed one of these years!
