May I know which dial of the WG DD you are waiting for? Some dials are harder to get from what I heard. Is this true?

jenniferjanef · 21 March 2019, 02:19 PM

DD40 18KYG with white dial waiting list .. been waiting for 5 months now..

DM101 · 21 March 2019, 04:59 PM

There is a new 36mm blue dial just released yesterday...

DJ 41mm blue dial steel & white gold fluted, 4 months if ordered on 3/25/19.
Told if I ordered any Rolex in gold I could get right away. Steel is hot.

ppalasthira · 28 March 2019, 06:00 PM

So the Rolex marketing scheme thing must be working.

I had one a few years back. It was a nice watch.

shoppy · 28 March 2019, 08:44 PM

I spoke to three of the of the ADS I use, one was 6months to a year and a £1000 deposit. The blue dial is the most popular and the last one they had was 5 months ago.

Another AD we do get them every other month but don’t have one and can do a dial swap for free. No thanks I don’t want a new watches opened up just yet.

Third AD, just said I will let you know as soon as one turns up and will ask for all variations so that you can try and decide. So less than 2 weeks AD calls and lets me know they are here for me to try. I walked out with the smooth on oyster. This watch IMHO is the one of the best blue dialled watche that Rolex do. I found the fluted and jubilee detracts attention from the blue dial.

Alexexec · 28 March 2019, 11:21 PM

Blue dial dj41 is stunning, smooth bezel on oyster go really well too, such a classy and versatile watch not to mention comfortable so it’s easy to see why this is so popular. Guess I got lucky that it only took a couple of weeks or so of emailing and calling all Sydney ADs.

Flybak · 29 March 2019, 12:02 AM

I did hear one AD had a waitlist on the blue dial DJ41 configuration but thought may be they were just trying to make models outside of the professional range look as though they face similar demand. Interesting now to see this in some other spots. Anyway, as it relates to the watch I like the DJ41 and the photos of the new DJ36. They are great watches and likely among the biggest sellers for the brand, I always cringe when people refer to them as "just a Datejust" or crappy, boring, etc. One of these would be on my list actually, just not next!

My AD told me the wait time on the new 2019 DJ36 is going to be anyone's guess. Lot's configurable choices for that watch.

blada4life · 29 March 2019, 12:07 AM

Come to LA my local AD has like 4-5 blue faced DJ

Yes, they are getting harder to find. Buy from a trusted re-seller/gray dealer

I almost went with this config but since this was at the time going to be my first Rolex I ended up buying the two tone in yellow gold with the silver dial as this looked more classic Rolex to me. 3 days later my AD called me and said he had a new Sub that was mine if I wanted it...lol So I ended up buying two watches! Still waiting for the Datejust to ship out, should be this week the grey dealer says.

glamorama · 10 April 2019, 05:53 AM

Incredible soon you can’t find any Rolex at ADs.

jssans · 11 April 2019, 11:07 AM

Ordered on 3/25/19. Told to wait 3-4 months before it arrives. Phone rings today that the timepiece is here! My 1st Rolex too. Pretty exciting experience.IMG_20190410_134219.jpg 00100lPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20190410165043583_COVER.jpg

Ridiculous hype feeds into a vicious cycle. The DJ41 is a great watch. But to make it seem like a blue dial is so much more special than a black dial for instance, is ridiculous. Sheep mentality. In a few years, no one is going to give a crap about a blue DJ.

What???

Now I've heard it all. The AD said he will sell you a Datejust immediately if you will just buy a second Rolex--in solid gold???

Does anyone fall for this???

I’ve heard worse from an AD. So I can’t say it’s too crazy. I was told if I was willing to drop $68,000 on solid gold watches that I would be given the opportunity to purchase two of the SS models I am on the wait list for and “maybe” shorten my waiting time for an SS Daytona. Load of crap that I would never do.

What I meant to say was if I ordered a gold watch I could get a gold watch quickly. I would have to wait longer for any watch in steel.
I apologise. I wrote that statement cryptically.

I will like to add that my transactions through my AD has been awesome. I would recommend starting a relationship with AD & see where it goes. Like any relationship good ones put smiles on both parties faces.

Okay. That makes a little more sense. But the fact that we found it believable says something about the state of affairs!

Wow! Spend $68,000 for a CHANCE at buying SS?!?

Rogoal · 3 May 2019, 02:51 AM

Yes. There’s a 4 month wait list in Houston. Was able to snag one up online from an authorized dealer and came with papers ect. Will remain in my collection forever.

errol0_7 · 24 June 2019, 06:51 PM

I phoned my AD yesterday (they open Sundays) to ask if he could get me at Rhodium and Blue Dial to see side by side, he said he had the Blue in - I went and had a look and its now on my wrist.

I guess its what they have delivered and luck

rolexwonderer · 24 June 2019, 10:23 PM

In Norway it's not just the DJ. Walked into a AD a week ago and they had 4 Rolexes left, all of them were below 34 mm.

Coolex · 24 June 2019, 11:52 PM

Definitely becoming more common place in most AD's now.

The SS Blue DJ is the poor mans Blue-Z Milguass, which is also quite hot atm.
