Pre-Purchase questions - Lady Datejust

Hello,

I have decided to get myself one pretty Rolex TT datejust with jubilee bracelet, I want one with diamond markers. and I wanna know its actual price.

when I went to Rolex official dealer in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. the salesperson was very rude he barely looked at me when I asked about the price and immediately walked away to someone who looked "rich".
so I don't know if he even looked at what I was pointing it.
he said the one with diamond markers is around $12k and the one w/o diamonds is around $9300. is that close to how much it really cost?

also what would make buying a new rolex from their official store better than getting it online from TRF trusted seller?
Thanks in advance!

Those prices are directionally correct, a plain dialed Lady DJ in USA are $9,600USD; dials with 10 diamonds run $11,500USD.

You would likely save money with a Trusted TRF seller - and the thing you miss versus using and AD is the personal bracelet fitment and a few trinkets.

Paul hit the nail on the head. I would also add that my AD was happy to size my bracelet for me regardless, probably figured why not be friendly to someone with 10k to spend on watches. It may have helped that I was "shopping" for a new one. I would add that if a face to face and the ability to use cash or credit means anything to you then the AD is nice. I have used bank wires for my grey market purchases. A little nervous the first time, but now it is not a big deal. Good luck whatever you decide and please stick around to fill us in on the details.

PS: No worries about the ignorant salesman. His loss. I do not usually dress or look wealthy and have been ignored before, until they see whatever is on my wrist then they turn into mr. wonderful.

Thank you for replying!
but shouldn't be a bit cheaper in gcc countries since taxes aren't applied here?

Thanks for your detailed response and support lol
so they don't resize it if you didn't buy it from them? not even for a fee?
