Turned Down a DJ41

My AD texted me that they had a 126334 mint green for me if I wanted it on Monday. Two months ago, I’d have snatched it up. Now that Rolex introduced the 336934 mint green (1st on the list for this), I want to wait. I can tell my rep at the AD isn’t pleased with me…. Tough. I’ll get what I want, even the hard way-if necessary…

I think waiting for what you want is always best.

Might've been a good place to start...but then again we are Rolex addicted over here.

I feel like Datejust is one of the easier watches to get. You can also see the smaller mark-up on the grey market as well - seems to be many for sale here with little to no movement (should shift the grey market prices down even more).

Smart move to wait!

Buy what you want, not what some bozo wants to sell you.

Yeah I had a similar interaction a few weeks back. Wasn’t the right watch for me either. Could be a situation to what I’ve been told that happens with S A’s. Basically if the S A gets turned down from customer 1 they dont get to offer it to person number 2 on their personal list and it goes to S A number 2. So he lost a sale that he could have definitely made, with the right amount of calls.


I think some S A’s believe we are to drop to our knees in gratitude every single time when in reality regardless of the model we are mostly spending a minimum of 10k. Hell mine was a PM model. So not 10k But this is also why I have 2 A D’s with 2 different S A’s.

Both very nice, but very different price bracket and very different watches too.

You're entitled to change your mind. However, I would have turned up at the AD, tried the watch on and declined based on a valid reason, like your impression on the wrist not meeting expectation. Like you find it too small and would rather be considered for the larger Sky-D, for example.

Just depends on your history and how your AD decides to treat you.

Whether or not you want to wait, it doesn't matter.

OP never stated if they had requested the DJ41 only that the AD called and offered them one.
