Well, deposit was handed to my AD!
Quote:
The deposits? I doubt it. As I alluded to, different states have different laws regarding pre-purchase deposits and I doubt Rolex can have one blanket policy that would be within all 50 states’ laws. If Rolex has any rules on deposits, I bet it’s in setting a maximum on deposits. Not sure why Rolex would care about getting a deposit though, it seems exclusively an AD concern . I believe these are all internal polices within an AD. Beyond deposits, there may very well be a renewed opportunity to order again, I think you called it an intent to purchase. But the deposit component is likely specific to that AD. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Walked into an AD this weekend, explained what we were after - an datejust 36 - and the salesperson looked up his ipad and told us confidently that it should be in within 3-4 months. If we wanted to secure it I could leave a €2K deposit that I can get 100% back if they don’t meet their delivery estimate.
I was really surprised about the confidence around his estimate and he clearly had a way to check all models estimated delivery. Thoughts on this? Just a way to lock me in by dangling an estimate and having me pay a deposit or do you think they’ll come through? |

Looks like I need a new dealer. Shouldn't be hard to order a 31 mm steel DJ!

![]() I suck at taking pictures but here is my new DJ! I really enjoy the oyster bracelet and fluted bezel combo even if some find that an odd combination. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Certain models ARE available to order. I've verified that with several ADs. DJs in the 36mm and under are definitely able to be ordered. 41s could also have been added.
I have an official order for an anniversary gift for my wife. We hit 20 years in 2026. I placed the order last fall (no deposit required) and have a confirmation of the order being placed with Rolex. It is a 36mm DJ in stainless with black diamond dial and diamond bezel.

I ordered a specific Datejust 36mm for my wife only a few years ago. I went in, told the AD what I was interested in, they pulled up something on their computer, I assume mostly to record what specifically we had asked for: silver dial, fluted bezel, Jubilee bracelet, and then told me it would be in in 6-8 weeks. They called me exactly 6 weeks later and I picked it up. I did place a small deposit when we "ordered" it. It could have been as simple as me being at the top of the list for a configuration no one was super interested in. They could have literally requested it from Rolex. I am leaning towards the latter because it is what was heavily implied at the time.
Things certainly and likely have changed, but this was not long ago. My AD, with whom I have a great relationship (sourced me a BLRO on their next incoming shipment after I expressed interest), never seemed in doubt that he could easily source what I wanted at the time. It may be as simple as they get a lot of DJ 36mm's in that configuration and knew one would be coming in anyway. |

Only once did the AD asked for a deposit of $50. That was years ago. Other than that, I have never been asked for a deposit.

I'd be happy with 50% deposit accompanied with a maximum 6 months wait. If the watch isn't supplied then the deposit returned.
Cheaper than Grey and a reasonable wait time. |
