Wow, could this be the turning point now for watches like the DJ to return to cases?

Palm dial in the window too is pretty interesting to see… got mine a few months ago after a short wait, albeit on Jubilee. Thanks for the photo report

I think we are getting close to turning the corner

I wouldn't be surprised if watch fatigue is starting to set in amongst the masses and the bag holders (grey / individuals that bought at massive premiums for investments) will start trying to unwind more rapidly.

No crazy market last forever on any luxury good, especially one that at the end of the day is still a mass produced item, albeit a very fine one that does retain decent value.

For current models, probably so, I don't see that for vintage that aren't being made anymore, i.e. five digit subs and it's variations.

Considering you can buy a Cookie Monster for $35k USD grey, buying from an AD would be a hard pass.

Why?

That Datejust 41 is in one of the least appealing congurations (dial/bezel and bracelet) so I doubt it'll move quickly at all. And that pretty much applies to all the others pictured in this AD in the thread too.

Really? I'd agree on the latter photo (Oyster/fluted/black diamond dial), but what's wrong with the Oyster/silver/smooth? Though not a "hot" configuration, that seems like a very regular Rolex that a very regular guy would go in and make a very regular purchase of. In terms of RRP, that configuration is the most accessible 40mm+ model with a date there is.

How do you know they're for sale? My local ADs have had watches in the window throughout the 'drought' as well, yet they're not available.

I went in and confirmed that the watches with prices on were for sale. There were other “exhibition only” cases.

If the price is displayed it's for sale.

For someone ("regular") it could well be their dream Rolex. For anyone that really knows about the DJ 41 model it's just a very mundane model in that configuration IMO...

I'm not sure exactly what that means - "anyone that really knows about the DJ 41" - is there some kind of special, hidden, double-secret configuration only a few know about? Most watch purchases are about personal taste. Getting snapped up "in seconds" is often about a model being of sufficient interest to a greater number of people who happen upon it.

Nice! It does seem like things are starting to shift, finally.

I welcome a return to watches available in cases and would love to see that happen across the line. I doubt we'll see Daytonas, BLROs, or Sub LVs in the case anytime soon....if ever...but maybe we can get back to where a plain old black Sub or Explorer or BLNR is regularly available for anyone to purchase.
