Ladies SS Datejust

[Hooper]

Going to be buying my wife a SS datejust and went in to purchase it at my local AD and didn't realize how much they were !! Even with an excellent discount it is still over $1000 more than i paid for my SS Sub Seriously ? I might be out of the loop, but I don't know why they're so expensive ? or is it just demand, but then wouldn't my sub have been more ? I don't know ! That's my rant for the day !

Not sure what a new ladies SS Datejust is going for, but a new SS Sub is about $8k from an AD.

When did you buy your Sub, and which model SS Datejust were you looking at? Fluted bezel? Diamonds?

True but my Sub is the 16610 purchased in 2012, so less than today's price ! around $6000

Fluted bezel with diamonds for numerals and oyster band!!

That would explain it then - the fluted bezel is made of white gold, and the diamond dial comes at a hefty premium too. Over here, a base model Lady's Datejust (with the steel domed bezel) starts at just over £4000. Factor in the fluted bezel, you add on about £700. For the diamond dial, an additional £1000. So, after all that, you've got a watch heading towards £6000, whilst the Sub C retails at £5320 these days. Those extras on a Lady Datejust look pretty, but don't come cheap unfortunately!

Your telling me, our local sales tax certainly doesn't help either

Nothing wrong with that!

IMHO I'd look some more. I'm buying my fiancé one and if you get in the $10k market there are some exceptional peices to be had. My personal favorite is the RG Pearlmaster with chocolate dial. We are going with either that or Ladies DJ fluted bezel jubilee band. I would have her really look at the jubilee. The oyster isnt as lady like to me plus it shows many more scratches than the jubilee band. I really like the new TT ladies DJ with the diamond bezel but it's around $17k. My mom is thinking about picking one up.



Look at Luxurybazzar.com for prices and all the models. You can get a much better deal on the diamond models. They have about 100 ladies DJ models so you can get a great overall view of models and prices.

Browse around this site. They have msrp listed and about what you can expect for a discount. I always use it as a price guide and I know several members have purchased from here. I never have but the info is great and they have every watch imaginable from $1m+++ to cheaper brands.

I don't know if she would accept pre-owned? My latest Rolex is pre-owned,
but never worn. Still had stickers and all. You can defintely score some deals on the forum. Just do your research on sellers. Good luck and post the bling when your purchase

put it on the jubilee and the price goes up even more. i believe that the 31mm ladies DJ with the WG fluted bezel regular dial is around 7ish.

congrats to your wife on the incoming watch
