I was on the waiting list since January, I asked for a Submariner (no date). A couple of days ago I walked by the AD and saw this really nice DJ being showcased.

I asked about it and they told me it was imported for a customer, but he got angry because they could not sell it right away. I told them to give me a call if the customer refused the watch on June 1st (actual day they could sell the watch). They called me, and I got it.

Literally the first men's Rolex that arrived in Chile 2022

A beauty! GREAT score! HUGE congrats!

Rick_Nashville · 10 June 2022, 04:21 AM

Wow, congrats on a super-handsome watch. Love the black & gold combination. Enjoy it thoroughly!

jsobral · 10 June 2022, 04:26 AM

Thanks for the comments! I'm not a fan of most DJ configurations, but this one was actually perfect for me.

Lightsped · 10 June 2022, 04:36 AM

Beautiful DJ! Is it yellow gold or rose gold?

JSolution · 10 June 2022, 05:55 AM

It’s a Keeper congrats :)

Yellow!

MMG89 · 10 June 2022, 06:18 AM

Hey man, gorgeous watch. Love it with the black dial. Two tone DJ is iconic and the best combo IMO.

Congrats!

Iconic and beautiful. Congratulations.

Right place at the right time. Sometimes it happens.

HogwldFLTR · 10 June 2022, 07:19 AM

That's really a beauty!!! Congratulations!! Curious as to why it had to be held and not sold right away? Looks great on you, btw.

I had the exact same doubt. Did'nt get a really good answer though.
Watch came in the last week of May. They told me it could not be sold until the June 1st. Something about them having no stock and nothing to showcase.

When I bought the watch June 2nd, they could not activate warranty, had to come back a couple days after to do that.

Seddyspaghetti · 10 June 2022, 07:54 AM

I just bought a DJ 41 from AD.

Today my AD gave me a call and told me they could sell this exact watch to me:

https://www.rolex.com/watches/day-da...8238-0004.html

Not sure if I should let this chance pass, I would literally have to rob the bank to afford it.

Please tell me what you guys think. Maybe spending so much on a Day Date is a big mistake, not sure, the price is on holly trinity range.

Tim Plains · 10 June 2022, 10:01 AM

Why are you even asking if you can't afford it?
I don't like it, so it's an easy one for me to answer.

doboy007 · 10 June 2022, 10:03 AM

No I wouldn't because that watch doesn't interest me.

brucethemanlee · 10 June 2022, 10:05 AM

I’d do it for sure

Rob a bank
Steal
Go into debt
But it at all costs
No brainer

Personally, I would do it but not if it would represent financial difficulty.

I can afford it, but maybe its not wise at all to buy it.

watchamatic · 10 June 2022, 10:15 AM

If it were in rose gold and I could afford it, I would.

rolexdream · 10 June 2022, 10:19 AM

It doesnt appeal to me at all and its definately not an investor piece like a sports watch is. I would rather invest that money than have it tied up

Epanerai12 · 10 June 2022, 10:21 AM

Nah

BDII · 10 June 2022, 10:27 AM

Unless it’s exactly what you want, I’d pass

Politiceaux · 10 June 2022, 10:31 AM

I wouldn’t because I’m not a fan of that configuration but perhaps you are. I do really like many datejusts in fluted/jubilee combo, just not this one. But everyone has their preferences.

I wouldn’t go into debt for any watch and think it’s insane that some people buy luxury watches without having all consumer debt paid and all retirement accounts in excellent shape, though. But that’s another soapbox.

ETA: just saw the comment on needing to rob a bank for a day-date. If serious and you don’t have $50k in cash without breaking a real sweat, you definitely don’t need to be buying a $15k watch. Jesus.

CarlOver · 10 June 2022, 10:31 AM

I wouldn’t and for sure not if it would be a financial strain. It’s a watch and getting into a financial pickle because of it is, well, not what I would.
