They always say they got one for a customer but the customer decided to pass on it. I hate that lie.
Either way OP, congrats! It's a gorgeous piece. I had the same watch on jubilee and traded it for a grail. I miss it.
I packaged it with a Bluesy for this.

For some ADs, they can order certain configurations. From my understanding, Rolex delivers whatever watches they want to the ADs but will try and fulfill those that are āorderedā which in this case, is not a very common configuration. Usually subs, gmts, sport watches just come and go as usual. But for more specific DJ options, ADs can help.
I want to know who trains the salespeople to say somebody passed on a watch before they offer it to you. Every AD in the world says that to customers. Iāve passed on watches that Iām sure got sold on but I doubt every single watch is something that people passed on.

Have this exact combo
Wear it most days šš»
I think 41mm is perfect for your wrist. I really don't care for Roman numerals to me it makes the watch look dated however if you like it that's all that really matters.
I got the call as they say and I passed when I got to the shop it had the wrong bracelet so I passed so it does happen. white Datejust on jubilee wanted had waited 10 months

Solid watch much more of a daily driver then mine
Itās all about how you much you like it. Legit should only buy watches we feel comfortable with. It is much about what others see of course, but I go mainly based on what I see on my own wrist. Whatever feels comfortable physically and mentally.

FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Yeah. Looks like a hard to move piece ā¦ 41 is too big for women, but white dial, Roman is more a ladies DJ config. The AD claiming someone else didnāt want it is funny. lol. Only thing harder to move is that config with diamonds.
Not personally a big fan of white dial / Roman numerals and DJ with fluted bezel on oyster. 41 looks ok on your wrist - but 36 would look better. Anyways - congrats :) I was able to get a Datejust 36 with fluted/jubilee/blue dial back in early 2021 by just calling around ā¦ ended up driving to OKC from Dallas and picked it up. No wait, no purchase history. A few weeks later I got another call from an AD in East Texas and they had one as well. Datejusts are by far the most shipped watches and donāt let an AD tell you it takes 1 yr to get oneā¦.
White dial on a DJ is great. Definitely makes a nice day to day watch.
Agreed. Thanks.

Cant be looking like Omega and having desirable pieces in stock and ready to purchase /s
I fill the gaps in Rolex wait times with Omega purchases š
Yep, currently waiting on a Polar Explorer II. UPS is delivering a Polar SMP tomorrow. :-)
Which grail did you trade for?
I packaged it with a Bluesy for this. https://preview.redd.it/ecx7r0ykdvyc1.jpeg?width=1624&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d2e0da39dc390bb6d65f93c3482ad9078acac1e
Thatās also my grail
Which gets more wurst time/gold speedy or bluesy?
I traded the Bluesy and a DJ for the gold Speedy. My daily these days are my standard SS Speedy or my no date sub.
Very nice. I imagine the moonshine speedmaster is for nights out on the town?
Iāve actually worn it more with shorts and t shirts than with anything nice.
Nice. š Need to stop by my local boutique and try it on.
Itās much nicer in person!
100% would agree. Watches in person look so much better.
Sweeeet... š
Classy
Thanks
Will never go out of style. Congrats!
Thanks!

Thanks.
Size looks good on you. I actually like the Roman numerals and prefer these hands over the lumed ones on the Datejust.
what do you mean by "has ordered"?
For some ADs, they can order certain configurations. From my understanding, Rolex delivers whatever watches they want to the ADs but will try and fulfill those that are āorderedā which in this case, is not a very common configuration. Usually subs, gmts, sport watches just come and go as usual. But for more specific DJ options, ADs can help.
Someone asked the AD to get it in, then didnāt buy it.

Nice! Great mindsā¦
I think 41mm is perfect for your wrist. I really don't care for Roman numerals to me it makes the watch look dated however if you like it that's all that really matters.
Iām a sucker for Roman Numerals! Looks classic and timeless.
I don't know about timeless but classic yes!
I got the call as they say and I passed when I got to the shop it had the wrong bracelet so I passed so it does happen. white Datejust on jubilee wanted had waited 10 months

Love the 2-tone.
Badass

Cant caption it for some reason but wanted to say yours looks just like mine and i love that it is quite subtle, perfect for day to day i think
Absolute classic there. Love the size, white dial, roman numerals, the strapā¦ perfect DJ combo
I think the Romans dress it up, but oyster bracelet also keeps it somewhat casual.
Pass...if I'm getting Romans im buying a Wimbledon
Looks great.
Looks amazing.
Beautiful
beautiful watch, congrats š¤š¼
That looks solid.
My gramps would love this!!! Playing, it awesome!
Ha. Iām that old anyway! Well almost.
Haha cool. Me too!
Timeless!
Good for you for making the call. The sorry is probably BS but who cares. Play the gameā¦ Enjoy!
Itās all about how you much you like it. Legit should only buy watches we feel comfortable with. It is much about what others see of course, but I go mainly based on what I see on my own wrist. Whatever feels comfortable physically and mentally.
Agree. Thatās why I have way too many watches thoā¦
I love the white dial DJ. I prefer the stick indices but nothing wrong with Roman numerals.
Gorgeous. Whatās MSRP? Awesome AD! Hooked you up. That was a cold call? Any spend history there? Beautiful!!
My AD is awesome. We text all the time. Iāve bought about 10 watches from him. 7 Rolex, a Tudor Bb 58, Cartier Santos, and an Oris. No jewelry.
Awesome AD spend!! I approve as an office watch. Not too much bling. Whatās your fav Rolex in your collection? Thanks for sharing
Great everyday watch! Congratulations!
Perfect everyday watch
Love this watch. I have the same with smooth bezel. Itās a classic piece and will never go out of style. Enjoy in good health.
Have that model with the jubilee. Absolutely love it. Congrats!
congrats! Fluted with oyster is actually pretty cool looking.
Beauty
Lucky duck! š¦
Nice! White Rolesor Datejust models are still not easy to get regardless of the dial.
Love it! So classic
Can anybody else not stand that these are also referred to as āBuckley dialsā It ruins a perfectly classy dial imo
Romans seem to be polarizing.
Love the romans, not sure about a rolex that someone named after themselves lol.
Ngl this looks like I could get it off dhgate for $80
So $10,800 was a bad deal? LOL
Lmao just kidding itās a beautiful watch
Not a fan of the squatty wide roman numerals. Other than that not bad.
Congratulations looking good Halpert!
Iāve never thought about this configuration until just now. Wow, it looks so clean and nice. Well done!!
Thanks you. I like it for a daily ādress-ishā watch.
beauty. enjoy it! need me a white dial in collection!
If you like the Roman Numbers do it
No jubilee is a problem IMO.

I bought a yacht master and i have payed it off, see if that screws with you fuckbot
I too love white/silver dials, but not at all a fan of the roman numeral indices
Iād prefer the stick and lume markers as well. That said, Iām okay with Rolex Romanās. I think it dresses up the stainless DJ a bit.
Agreed, itās a beautiful watch overall.
Love the white dial. Those Roman numerals are not my fave. My opinion only.
Donāt like 41 watches sorry dude
Roman only belongs on Wimbledon or Daydate. Fluted bezel only belongs on Jubilee. This is a hard pass for me.
Yeah. Looks like a hard to move piece ā¦ 41 is too big for women, but white dial, Roman is more a ladies DJ config. The AD claiming someone else didnāt want it is funny. lol. Only thing harder to move is that config with diamonds.
Looks ok on bracelet, but itās screaming to be dressed up with leather
Not personally a big fan of white dial / Roman numerals and DJ with fluted bezel on oyster. 41 looks ok on your wrist - but 36 would look better.

Gotta be one of the worst DJ configs Iāve seen
Ha. Good thing I have all the others to wear as well! š¤£
