Weirs Rolex Waiting List

Did a rough measurement of my wrist, just under 7 inches.

Yeah! There is. I'm in a similar position. I went in to Weirs in February to enquire about a silver dial 126334. They said the wait is anywhere from 6 to 12 months. Don't have the intention of buying it till this November or so, but I put my name down, regardless. I went in this week and seems like they're getting a shipment of Datejust's in alongside the opening of the Rolex boutique on the second floor–so likely some allocations there.

I'd expect a 6 month wait to be honest, but it would depend on your relationship with the store I imagine. They'd offer it first to higher priority clients I'd say (unconfirmed, but this is how most luxury retailers operate)

no need for a deposit. i enquired about a datejust in keanes maybe 18 months ago and they indicated a 6 months wait list for it at that point . they were really slow to respond over email.. about 4 weeks before i got a reply

should be close enough to retail grey.. i paid about 500 over at the time.. but for some bizarre reason pride and pinion gave me 2k more for it 6 months later..

maybe but if someone is paying 14k euro for a datejust that you can buy at retail for 10 with a few months wait its probably worth shopping around..

Could we insure our expensive watch? Or it can only be insured while at home with home content insurance?

Check your insurance policy. You may need enhanced insurance if very expensive and should get a valuation certificate.

Thanks for this!

Does this insurance cover you if theft on the road side?

I pulled the trigger and got this beauty, datejust 41mm as custom special order. 12 to 18 months waiting time.

I'd say a member of the family who own and run the business will be aware of the sale of any watch that is worth many thousands more than retail.

If its any consolation I'm 2.5 years on the 'list' for a GMT... Id a datejust bought there when I got listed for the GMT.. I've checked any time I'm around there..maybe once or twice a year and I'm still on said list but who knows.. I was thinking anything less than 5 years be good going but others have said you'd need to have bought a lot more to be even considered.. so I don't know.

Weir's are probably the most unprofessional Rolex AD in the world. And Rolex retail prices have shot up by 40-50% or so in the last 3 or 4 years. Leaving many of their desirable watches worth less grey than retail.

Cheers guys, I have looked extensively at the grey market. The batman is going for a ~5k premium. As much as I want the watch, I am not willing to hand over so much extra. Especially when I see ads that say upfront "only purchased as an investment, never worn". I just refuse to fund it .. of course this is all aided and abetted by the ADs for selling to these types.

I did try to list for the Daytona, whilst Weirs didn't say I couldn't, the idea was scoffed at so I didn't bother.
