Datejust 41 Value
Do Datejust’s hold their value well? Seems like they are one of the most common Rolex models and they would loose value compared to other models.
I’m picking up a blue fluted dial Datejust 41 oyster braclet. Love the look of it but I’m having second thoughts based on what I’m reading on their value. |

DJ41s on a jubilee are a good buy at 6500-6800...

Whether a watch can hold its value will generally depends very much on the demand/supply and whether its a model that sought after. DJ doesn't really hold value well as compare to sports but trend might change in next 10 to 20 yrs.. Daytona wasn't a popular model in the 60s but now its totally different story.

If you love it and will enjoy wearing it, what difference does a few thousand make if and when you sell it?

Better than the vast majority of wrist watches sold, yes.

In contrast, the sports watch line has a whole bunch of different names for similar-ish changes in case, color, bezel design, etc. What really distinguishes a Yacht-Master from a Submariner, or a AirKing from an Oyster from an Explorer? (Beyond the date on some.) To get a good sense of how well they hold value, head over to a reseller, e.g. DavidSW, and check out the used vs new prices for the configuration you like. Not all styles hold value equally well, even in the DJ line. |

Don’t buy something on what you speculate what will happen to its value. Buy what you like and enjoy wearing.

Any Rolex retains value better than most other watches, and some of the others are little more than throw-aways.

It sounds like you’re having second thoughts about whether you really want to buy a DJ41. Did you settle on buying a DJ only after finding out the watch you really wanted was not available anytime soon? If that’s the case I’d suggest not buying the new DJ41 and buying a pre-owned watch of the model you really want, regardless of whether it holds value. If you don’t have passion for a piece value doesn’t matter.

As with cars, buy pre-owned if value retention is a big factor, esp with date justs.

I was offered £5,150 from a grey for my SS DJ41 recently. Current UK list price is £5,650, I don't call this bad at all.
I bought it because I like it but also as a put me on until the promised BLRO arrives. Depending on how the finances are when I've paid for the BLRO I will probably keep the DJ as well but if I have to sell it I won't be upset at losing circa £500-£600 for wearing it and enjoying it for the time that I've had it. It's really plain, simple, elegant, smart, works well with a suit and casual. It's probably more versatile with attire than most of the sports line. Mine is a 126300 on oyster with plain bezel and a black dial so I can't speak for them all but this isn't the most sought after configuration, I believe the blue dial is the one most people want. |

It’s a watch, not your 401K.
