How big of a deal is an aftermarket dial on a Rolex?

is that a deal breaker for most?

I wouldnt really do aftermarket dials.

I think a two tone date just is fairly gettable from an AD. If its the Wimbledon one I'm thinking.

You recommend any online authorized dealers

rolex doesnt really have any online authorized dealers

absolutely nothing wrong as long as you do your assignment so you get an authentic watch from a legit seller

and realize that they are not a rolex authorized dealer

Walked by a local AD today, and they had this in the window. It’s pre owned and quartz, so I had no interest in even asking how much. Haven’t seen a Patek there ever. I wonder what they traded in for…

I see Rolex 226570 there in the back row...maybe the AD calls me this year and I can pick it up

 

[krider31]

So im going to assume I cant just walk into my local AD and find a pre-owned two tone Datejust 41 with a jubilee bracelet..

 

[rfx45]

some ADs sell used watches

The bigger ADs do have a used section. Where are you located?

Best piece of advice I can give...Is TAKE YOUR TIME and research to death. Don't go rushing in on a purchase especially at the amount you are looking to spend. Its becoming a buyers market currently and most likely will continue to be for the foreseeable future.

From my understanding, 2 tone date just aren’t in demand as much as other models so they should be easier to get.

I would go to Tiny Jewel Box in DC and inquire about it.

my SA been posting a lot of tt datejust in both 36mm and 41mm so people are passing on them for sure

she even posted the blue wg sub, i hesitated for a sec because i prefer a no date but by the time i texted her it was spoken for

 

[krider31]

jeweler just sent me the video... I wanted to upload it here, NT system wont let me

 

[8|24]

I saw. I really like the 1/10th sub dial on the 41 mm

Imma go to an AD on Wednesday to check it out

Go to Tourneau in pentagon city. They typically have a good amount of pre owned pieces. Ask for Hana.

If my budget was $20k for a Rollie I would be...
A. Making a vacation around going to Paris and copping on site (I believe the Euro is still down so you are getting it on the disco. No guarantees they have a Batgirl though)
B. Pulling up in-person like ballinsam23 mentioned to the diamond district or booths

I just wouldn't feel comfortable wiring something that high without having it verified in-hand.

I've been browsing casually/waiting for the market to cool down to cop what will be my first Rollie. I'm set on a used two tone Date Just, prefer 41 but open to 36 depending on price and condition. Budget is 5500-6k USD (hence used).

With that being said, I've really only thought about copping stateside but with work I'm in Paris a couple times a year and it would be easy to get out there. Anyone have experience with the used market out there? Any specific shops/sites yall can suggest?
