Good morning. Quick question for forum denizens: I’m looking to purchase a 36mm Day Date in Everose for my wife, and would appreciate any advice on grays you guys would recommend. Thank you for your help.

I have direct experience with Nashville watch (AU_911tt) and Chase is great to deal with. I have purchased several times from OCROLEXGUY (Patrick) and obviously I like him as well. I recently purchased from Takuya (Thanh) and that was also a very nice experience. I haven’t used DavidSW yet but he is a forum favorite and I would not hesitate there either.

I have also used Govberg jewelers (now affiliated with Watchbox). They have lots of inventory and may have what you want. Govberg is also a Rolex AD. I was pleased though I believe their pricing is a bit higher than most so be prepared to negotiate.

Good luck!

Advice is to wait 8 months. Day dates became “allocation only” in 2021.

The tide is turning. I don’t think the stainless sports will be super available all of a sudden but the rose day dates will start showing up.

When day dates show up in stores, they will be back at discount at greys. So you’ll have your pick then.


Govberg owns watchbox. Govberg is the old, brand facing AD while Watchbox is their volume gray dealer with online presence.

I’ve purchased/traded several pieces from DavidSW and Chase at Nashville Watch. Always a great experience with both dealers and I highly recommend them.

Thank you to all who have replied, I appreciate it.

Regarding timeline, not a huge rush, but don’t want to wait months either.

Try a couple of ADs before you waste money going grey. Watches are becoming more available again.

Wow you actually bought a watch from jaztime? They have an infamous who's who section here.
