      Stop hyping the public to get on the band wagon

  • @gorgeou8
    @gorgeou8 9 місяців тому +1

    In my opinion, the best compromised variation is: fluted motif dial, smooth bezel with jubilee bracelet! It’s less expensive, retains an original key aspect (bracelet), with more interesting dial, without being too flashy, too shiny and over the top.

    I have (had) both the mint green DJ41 and the green fluted dial.
    I sold the fluted dial. I felt it was too busy, trying too hard.
    The mint green with fluted bezel and jubilee is such a gem. One of my favorites in my collection.

    • @Watchtrader
      @Watchtrader  Рік тому +2

      Sure, the fluted motif dial can be too much for some. Thanks for sharing

    Remember these are selling prices. A dealer would offer 30% less to buy, lower still if he/she sniffs you're a forced seller. Personally I wouldn't pay a penny over retail for a Datejust. Times have changed. Most are available from the AD. I recently bought a white roman 41 fluted on jubilee on a walk in where I have no purchase history. The watch was in the window marked exhibition only. I asked for a try on since it's a watch I wanted (tier d or not) and was offered the watch to buy. A good episode but time to focus on watches not prices. We need an old hand like Hendo up front more on the videos. I'm sure he's as price conscious as the rest of you but it's not the first thing he mentions.

    • @Watchtrader
      @Watchtrader  Рік тому +3

      Hi, Harry here, firstly thanks for the thoughtful comment and congrats on your DJ purchase. To find the exact DJ configuration available to buy on the day must have been a great feeling! Ranking the dials like this only reflects the market opinion. The white roman is certainly no less of a dial than a fluted motif. Do you have a suggestion as to what other metrics we could use to compare the dials? Thanks for watching as always - take care

    • @BAF605
      @BAF605 Рік тому +1

      @@Watchtrader Harry you are right that money must talk. Perhaps you might keep a record of todays ratings and see what happens over time . As you mentioned the blue roman dial was hot compared to the baton blue, now not so much. Like most people I love the Wimbledon. It's amazing how its popularity has sustained. It would be interesting to see if some of the new hot dials have similar staying power.

    • @Watchtrader
      @Watchtrader  Рік тому +1

      @gaffs82 10 місяців тому +3

      Agree. There is way too much focus on what is selling at higher prices in the gray market. But I suppose that is what this channel and store is about. Buy the watch you like best - forget the hype around one dial or another.

  • @jayanddevonmoody1937

    I ordered from my AD a 41” fluted with jubilee, black face, diamond markers. I am very excited to get it in Feb. or March! I love so many of these, but am to OCD to have a color face. If I was a collector, then absolutely! I only have two right now. Both are all yellow gold day date/presidential band, champagne face…one with diamond markers and diamond bezel; the other no diamond. Getting a white gold/steel with a black face and diamonds will be fun to switch up my options without having too many choices. I like a black dress jacket with a tee shirt dark jeans and a good pair of tennis shoes. The watch plus one necklace will be a great “out on the town” chic but not trying too hard look. The white faces pairings are nice, but with the 41, they look overly casual and stick out too much. Great review guys! 🙌🏻✌🏻

    • @gaffs82

    @GeorgeDaymondLush Рік тому +1

    Had good treatment from Watford but I was convinced that the wait was engineered. I'm 80. I have the money what should I do. What did I do. I saw a nearly new and unworn year old 41 on the secondary market with fluted dial and a Jubilee gold bracelet on a colour I hadn't really "clocked". Slate grey. I don't do watch porn or house porn I just saw something and thought that's it and bought it.
    3 months after the acquisition Watford called me and said. "We have your watch". I bought it. I kept it. Now it says something that I kept 2 watches that resemble one another in size and shape at leat. They are both stunners in their own right

  • @pwally2714
    @pwally2714 11 місяців тому

    Left off the most luxurious one that needed to be special ordered from 2016 - 2023 - Completely hand made dial with hand set diamonds - AD advised that an average of 7 dials broke before Rolex got each one right. (Lots of labor involved.)
    Also 1 of 1 for each one as no two Mother of Pearl dials are the same.
    Rolex discontinued it with the Green dial 18k Daytona and blue dial 18k grey gold Daytona.
    Gentle reminder that the most Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust 41, in my opinion, is the actual one made from an Oyster / Mother of Pearl.
    Straight away glance is silver yet from other angles is blue / purple / teal / orange / red / yellow.
    The DJ 41 MOP dials were way less scalloped than 36 or 31mm so the 41mm is smooth and silver 90% of the glances (unless it's at an angle where the colors explode).

    Roman numeral watches have declined in grey market value because as you speculate, the market might feel that’s a bit old fashioned. Not 2 minutes later you confirm that the Wimbledon dial is one of the most popular dials. It’s a Roman numeral dial. 😑 The colors are great though!

    Datejusts....above RRP. Mental.
    2000s waitlist was for steel Daytona W/B and Steel subs.
    2008, Walked into an AD and got my first rolex and had a choice of a six figure Exp2 in white or the new GMT2c. AD said i would be mental to not take the GMT2c, forat one they'd had in since it's release. That was when the GMT2 joined the waitlist. £3400 was a steel steal.
    DJs you could get a 20% discount if you bought it with a steel sports.
    But DJs now having waits is insane.

    Thoughts on Wimbledon 41, yellow gold and steel, oyster bracelet, fluted bezel. Good config or would you always go Jubilee? And is the yellow or white gold more popular?

    • @Watchtrader
      @Watchtrader  8 місяців тому

      Jubilee is more popular at the moment. The steel with the white gold fluted bezel outperforms the two tone.

      @daniel-j-harris 8 місяців тому

      @@Watchtrader My AD has offerd the two tone fluted in jubilee bracelet, is that a buy or pass? Eventually I'd sell it if a steel/white gold jubilee came in, but for the time being a two tone jubilee seems too good to pass seeing as my AD has had just 1 wimbledon in 18 months.

    • @Watchtrader
      @Watchtrader  8 місяців тому

      If you want the steel and white gold, you can buy it pre-owned, in like new condition for less than the uk RRP of £12,700. If you must have it brand new from your AD, you could get the steel and gold and it will still hold good value. Then maybe at some point they will get a steel one in for you. It’s a decision only you can make ultimately because it’s based on your preference. Hope this helps

      @@Watchtrader I went for it. Picking it up next week. Ok yeh it’s an underlist watch right now, but I’m not buying to sell. Something about the gold just works with the Wimbledon dial and reminds me of that beautiful Wimbledon trophy. I know gold isn’t for everyone, I get the appeal of the understated steel wimbledon, but I’m super happy to have the two tone on a jubilee. I’ll get a steel another time if I’m ever offered one. Or alternatively a green/blue steel motif if I’m lucky, I’d love one of those.

    It should be made clear that these prices are what the great market is trying to sale them for. This is NOT what they are paying to watch flippers who think they can make a quick buck buying these watches for the soul purpose of selling them to someone else. Grey market dealers know the market is crashing so they don’t want to overpay for these watches. They are offering less then retail for most and if you’re lucky $100 net profit on the most desirable configurations. I hope flippers get the message. They will be holding bricks if they keep doing what they’re doing. A lot more inventory is about to hit AD’s for the holidays. I would exercise some patience and get on the list.
