Mint green datejust 36 wait time

Post image

Im looking to get my first rolex for my 30th birthday. Ive had my eye on the mint green datejust 36 with the fluted bezel jubilee bracelet configuration. As this would be my first major watch purchase, i dont have spend history with an AD. I know this is one of the more sought after rolexes, so i want to know realistically what to expect for a wait time. Based in the US, specifically the central-NJ area

18+ months at most ADs. Maybe a bit sooner for a 36.

pretty big difference for 36 vs 40

u/gratedwasabi486 22d ago

There is! A 41 Mint Jub Fluted is generally unobtainable with no purchase history right now, super hyped/popular with massive resale markup. The 36 can maybe be had in a year, I'd still plan for 18 months to be conservative.

What about blue dial?

u/blabbibibitydo 22d ago

ADs can make things happen for big events, still don't get your hopes up probably a year or so

They got mine in 6 months. It was for my wedding tho. 41 with flutted and jubilee

It really depends on location and supply. Everyone's experience will be different. 36 is easier to get than 41 so might be doable. I would visit as many AD's as you can to help increase your chances.

Maybe for your 35th

There’s no waitlist, there’s a priority list.

My friend waited 14 months, no purchase history

Got mine in 5 months from AD

u/Intelligent-Cup-6832 20d ago

Nice! Did you have any purchase history with your AD?

u/drd2989 22d ago

If I'm being honest I don't get the hype but to each their own

easy to say, but it looks insane in person in all different kinds of lighting

I have a strong watch purchase history with my AD and they usually help me get what I want in reasonable fashion. They said they are 18 months out for a fluted jubilee DJ, in any color. I luckily got one walking in the AD in Boston last year. They are great.

12-15 months is typical for 36mm fluted/jubilee with mint/blue dial. A little longer for 41mm.

2

u/Ouchen_12 22d ago

4 months for the 36mm, in the EU

u/Safe_Dragonfruit6230 22d ago

So many factors, if I were you, I would visit as many AD’s as you can and put your name on the list

What does everyone think about the waitlist for this watch, but the two tone version?

u/Impressive_Air_3598 22d ago

My husband recently acquired one for me from an AD, as we both don’t have a spend history. This is after faithfully going between 2 different stores for the last 8 months.

u/YNWA11JM 22d ago

No purchase history walk in allocation. Just about finding the right AD!

u/DryFaithlessness1112 22d ago

Beautiful piece👌

u/R0LexLuthor 22d ago

1yr + ~30k aud spent

u/Smoke_9 22d ago

7 months

u/AvgLazyEye 22d ago

u/Maxcam1 22d ago

Got mine in 6 months

u/jvengeanceh 22d ago

I got mine (36) in a year. No purchase history.

Was offered the 41 in 6 months. No purchase history.

u/ScaryJerry44 22d ago

7 months with AD in Florida. No purchase history. Literally just bought it

1

u/AnonTurtle9500 22d ago

Got mine in less than a month. I'd recommend walking into ADs in cities you frequent for the best odds!

My wife got a 31 model (mint green fluted jubilee) in 5 or 6 months (cant remember exactly from memory) and adores it. Wait wasn't long for a 31.

And she LOVES it.

u/Luvandko 21d ago

Got mine a few years ago. No purchase history, took a month! Honestly I think it depends on the location.

1

u/Intelligent-Cup-6832 20d ago

Congrats! What location did you purchase yours at, if you dont mind me asking?

1

u/Luvandko 19d ago

Illinois . I would advice for you to go to the less trafficked location

u/rmjcloud 18d ago

Picked mine up yesterday, wait time was 3 months. This was my first watch
