My AD recently offered me a DJ41 Azzuro Blue with Roman wording at retail price, it’s a nice piece of Rolex as it’s with a blue dial but i definitely prefer to have Sport series just the waiting period could be ages. What you guys think? Should i get it or continue the wait?

Thanks for the advice

To be honest, this is the classic ROLEX with jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel. Roman dial is nice and blue is the trending color. At the newer 41mm size, the fluted bezel is more outstanding.
:Cheers:

Should go for it. Very in demand dial colour and easy to flip for above retail even pre-owned. DJ41 fluted bezel on jubilee can flip for over retail in Grey or Blue Dial. Can wear until you get a sports model, then flip it and make some pocket money.
Pre-owned Datejust can flip above retail??

If the shop is selling at that price, you would not be able to. Shops offer warranty.
This model is new and with the card will have 5 years warranty from ROLEX. The shop warranty only gives you peace of mind that it's original. A quick check at the RSC will do that as well.

True, can trade in or sell but lower at retail or slightly below retail. But who knows what will happen in a few more years. DJ41s are increasing daily. Last year nobody wanted DJ41s. Things are changing I guess.
For all we know, nobody might want DJ41s anymore next year... and a lot of people wishing that no more queues for sports model too. So yeah, it could go either way.

Told a friend to wait until new Submariner model comes out. I told him the 116610 will drop after the 126610 comes out. Turn out terbalik, everyone saw it's almost the same and still shortage. 116610 also up price after "discontinued". Old model go up after new one come out. Really cannot predict the future. Crazy.
The asking prices of 116710 GMT also shot up immediately after it was discontinued but after awhile the prices came down. So either you buy when the price is stable or wait until the new releases has reached stores and then see what happens. It should always come down.
Some AD already have the new Submariner in stores. Go check some ADs out this weekend.

Mind sharing which ADs are distributing? I called a few but all of them said they haven't received stock yetTold a friend to wait until new Submariner model comes out.

To be honest my experience at the KL ADs have been terrible recently. Most sales agents won't entertain your requests and look at you a certain way when you ask about Sports/Stainless steel models. Generally very unpleasant experience. I was able to score a Fluted DJ41 Rhodium on the Jubilee this year but that's at a smaller city AD.It's very weird in KL, they have no Sub for sale to regular customers but grey market sellers like Time Galaxy, WatchLim, and Prestige Watch selling on Facebook and WhatsApp. No Sub for retail buyers but there's sub for grey dealers.

By regular, I assume you've never bought anything before?
To be honest, some grey dealers get their stocks from overseas though some no doubt are local. The topic is hotly debated and it's generally understood that some ADs have runners who deal with grey dealers.
I heard some AD have the stock and will use as display piece for awhile so people can come see it. Sales will probably start a little later when more are available.

Mind sharing who these people are or is that taboo topic?
Anyone who forked out the money to buy at premium will know which retailer it came from, unless it come with the new card.

Not a taboo for sure, if you monitor this "Game" long enough, is pretty obvious the AD / Grey are the same "gang", like you said, AD has insider who work with the grey dealers.. Grey will have their "Set up" customers to go AD and buy those watches from them.. sometimes they strike a deal where the "customer" will buy together with a few other bundle watches.. ever wonder where the grey get all their hublot brand new from selling at lower prices than AD?
