Lost in the hype, bought a hot model from AD - buyers remorse - next steps

[Cambo]

Man, a lot of drama for a DJ 41
Sell it
Move on
P.S. I like Padi’s posts. I like Kat’s posts.

It’s not a shirt! People don’t return Rolexes to the AD, because they changed their mind.

Yep, Rolex doesn’t accept returns as soon as transaction went through and stickers are removed)

BTW - Mint DJ41, fluted jubilee is not even remotely a hot model and can be bought under retail easily

Can you please share a link where I can buy unworn mint green DJ41 fluted/jubilee for under $10.6k?

Not to be mean, but you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

PS also disappointed in how much judgement has been passed by so many here on a question I would have asked in the same situation.

I buy what I like, without asking others for their advice, before I do so.

Has anyone experienced actually attempting to return a Rolex? I’d like to hear about how it went, vs speculation.

Unless Stainless steel DJs cost $15,000 at the AD, that is false info. I’ve checked secondary market pricing for that reference. It’s approximately 2/3 higher than MSRP.

I haven't done it myself, but I've seen others do it, and boy would I strongly discourage anyone from doing so unless they're ready to burn that bridge. For starters, once the stickers are removed and the warranty initiated, the timepiece is "officially" owned, and they're not likely going to give you 100% of what you paid. But that's the least of your issues imho.

If the model isn't easy to move, you've now disappointed the AD in making the sale and then reneging, effectively giving them a preowned model they'll have to worry about selling.

If the model is easy to move, now the AD has to wonder what's the point in setting something aside for you if there are more reliable customers waiting in the wing.

I don't necessarily condone the attitude SAs take, and yes I'd agree it's "their problem" to have to sell a watch, but our feelings don't really matter to them, and they're the decision makers when that titanium Yachtmaster finally arrives.

I think a better option for the OP is to find a reliable grey dealer- one that doesn't display serial numbers in their sales listings- and sell to them... but not before the AD gives OP the call for their next timepiece.

Thanks all for the advice. Decided to keep it for now! We'll see if I get a call for the Sub LV and re-evaluate at that time. The mint is too special to give up so quickly and jub/fluted combo makes a perfect companion to the 116710 BLNR on Oyster. Dress/Sport, Green/Blue, Jub/Oyster, Gold Bezel/Ceramic Bezel.

Unless money is an issue just keep it. If you decide not to keep it leave the AD out of it, no telling how they will react. And yes, dial swaps are only available from Rolex after five years when warranty has run out.
