Tough Decision: First Rolex Datejust 41 Blue

Join us at Watchtrader & Co as we buy and sell luxury watches in our UK store.

Josh serves a man who has come to buy his first Rolex Datejust 41. Three swiss watches are on the tray today, a mint green and two blue dials (one oyster and one jubilee bracelet). Not only does he have to decide on the dial and bracelet combination, Josh throws in three different ages of watches to the mix too. Talk about spoilt for choice.

Having been bid from another dealer for this gentleman’s 36mm yellow gold Rolex Day-Date, Jon can’t seem to quite beat it. But will the travel to see another dealer help him decide whether to accept Jon’s offer or will he walk away?

A rare appearance from the young Billy, as he hands over a dream watch to a new dad, marking the occasion of the birth of his daughter. Like many before him, this gent has grown tired of being on the waiting list for the GMT-Master II Batgirl and decided it’s time to bite the bullet.

Jon’s customer has come to see about a potential part exchange deal of his discontinued Rolex GMT-Master II for a Submariner Bluesy. Struggling to fall in love with the Bluesy, he asks to see a blue dial steel Sky-Dweller. Sticking with the blue dial theme, two other watches make a guest appearance: a stunning Vacheron Constantine Overseas, and the eye popping rose gold Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph.

Two watches in and a Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi on Jubilee out. Josh takes in a 41mm steel and gold Submariner Bluesy and a 41mm Datejust with the Azzuro blue dial as part of the part exchange deal for the fabled red and blue dialled time piece.

In to collect his 50th birthday present, this gent is receiving his first mechanical luxury watch. Chosen by his other half the Tudor Black Bay 41mm is the perfect gift to mark the occasion.

£7, 200 for a solid gold Day/Date.... No wonder he was happy to offer the same... That's classed as vintage and could get £12k-13k all day long depending on its condition!!!. Surprised he didn't charge him for the polish!!!

[FOX]

Who’s been giving Jon the laughing Gas 😂😂😂

[leonmarsh]

Love these guys, Jon the polish, Billy the Amish, and Jack the Jesmond desperate Dan

[mikebbikesb]

Never EVER tell them how much someone has offered you for it.

[zerosilver]

Jon didn’t look happy when the other fella came in with some informed pieces rather than trying push the same old Rolex shite

[dioptre]

These guys have a lot of favourite watches. New variation this week ‘one of my favourite GMTs’

[Sungules]

I think he under sold his gold presidential. I wished I bumped into that guy and bought it off him with that price.

[JasSingh-bvxb]

The AP Royal Oak Chrono Pink Gold is absolutely fire! The best timepiece out the lot - hands down!

[dukes]

He needs to grab that VC Overseas blue!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[mark_n_r]

Jon, other than opening the case and looking at the movement number you can't tell the difference between a 2017 and 2024 steel blue Skydweller.

Josh loves his root beer. I’ve been on the fence for one - £100 over retail for a 2024. Too many watches I need to lose a few.

[LostTechnologiez]

Gonna grind till i get one of these 👍🏻

[richardjean]

Did the customer get the Pepsi GMT with both part exchanges? Or did you cash him out the difference?

[paulbrain]

Glad to see Tudor Black Bay getting some airtime, great timepieces...get fed up seeing same old Rolex rubbish every week...

[FOVKRO]

Jon, the guy who suggested only by a VC overseas from the AD if they’ll promise you a SS Daytona 😂

[LeeKelly-cdwb]

I wouldn’t sell to them they offered me 9k for a 2 week old datejust blue with fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet

[mark_n_r]

The Speedy is a better watch than the Batgirl imho.

[MrGoonerYT]

Thought they said Billy had left the business?

[johnprosser]

It's only 4 years newer.... Or in other words 4 further years away from needing a expensive service in which you lose the watch for months!!!

[colincelso]

Wtf. Geordies subtitling Irish and Scottish accents. I’m disgusted 🤣🤣
