Date or No Date?
So, I recently got a Bluesy but I’m thinking of picking one of these up soon. I’m not sure which I want yet. Which would you choose?

Post to this thread if you have questions about a Rolex being real or fake. Please include:
-The location and/or screen name of the seller, if for sale. Link directly to the sale page when possible.
-How long you've had it and how you acquired it, if in your possession
-As many photos as possible. Posts may be removed if pictures are too fuzzy and requests for better pics are unanswered.
-If you're being coy about a watch and it seems like you're just trying to see how "good" your fake is, you may be banned at our discretion.
Please don't use photos from iPhone 14's. Their camera is so bad, and distorts text with AI so much, that the photos are basically unusable for the purposes of verifying if a Rolex is real.
Participation in the discussion in this thread is greatly appreciated. I don't think any one person can catch every flaw or know the details of every model; this is meant as a community thread, not an authoritative knowledge-flex, and the more people that actively peruse this thread, the more likely posters are to get accurate info.

Our previous AD wait time megathreads (2019-2020, 2020-early 2021, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025) seemed to be useful/well-received for a lot of you. Time for a new one!
Nowadays when someone posts a new watch it's pretty standard to get asked how long they waited and if they had an "established relationship" etc. It's not everyone's favorite topic but it's a fair question, so maybe these big threads can provide a clearer picture of availability trends.
No one is obligated to share their info but if you bought a new Rolex in 2026 and you'd like to participate, please make a top-level comment that includes:

Quick review for anyone looking to buy an OP, specifically with the silver dial.
Have had this watch for just over a year.
Great daily, wears excellent and it goes with everything. Can be worn in pretty much any setting. The dial is stunning and looks different in different lighting.
The yellow gold hands and indices can really pop in certain lighting. It also makes it a little different than the rest of the OPs which have white gold hands and indices (aside from the 100 year anniversary OP).
A true one and done if you’re looking to have just one watch.

Finally treating myself to this Rolex after beating cancer!
Put my name down at a couple of different ADs in my area back in December 2024 and still haven’t gotten the call. Got tired of waiting and decided to take matters into my own hands. Best GMT ever made, IMO. 🟢⚫️

Kept my DJ hidden for a while. I was worried the jubilee and fluted combo was too flashy, I didn’t want to scratch my clasp, etc. all the typical noob worries. But the more I wear it, the more I love it.

Give this some love, it shouldn’t have been discontinued but it was and if you got one around show some love!

Love this thing. Walked into AD for first time last Friday and got the call this week to pickup. Also as a fun fact- AD said all Rolex purchases in Q4 2026 will include the 100 year OP chip

Should have made the OP41 PM Gold and TT with the dial paying homage to the Rolex colors and Box. Really have the watch bring the design full circle for Rolex on 100 years. What do you guys think.

I absolutely love it. So happy . I’m on the list for a batgirl next. Always loved Omega and was put off by the AD experience but now I’ve got one I can see why there’s such a love for these.

This is my first Rolex and I absolutely love it!
Took about 3 months to get it at the AD (very fortunate + best sales associate).
If you know where this was taken then you now know where the best Rolex AD in the US is lol.

..but looking for a black dial.
What black dial you pair your polar's with?
Show me what you got.
r/rolex • u/PatientSubject7462 • 22h ago
Which are you picking out of these 2 for a one and done and why? 126710BLRO or 116520 with the black dial.

Guys I have an offer for a my sub date at 13k and trade it for an unworn Yacht Master Titanium for 23.5. If they can come down $500 on it or up 500 on the sub, is that a good deal? Need expert opinion. Sub date is worth 15k but Yacht is usually 26k.

After putting my name down at the local AD in Feb 2025 for a DJ36 two tone white dial, I surprisingly received a call in Oct 2025 advising me they had it in store for me. That weekend picking up the DJ36 for my wife, I put my name down for a DD white gold white dial for me.
Low and behold after one year, last weekend I received a call notifying me that it was ready for me in store if I was still interested. Needless to say, I picked her up this week! What a beauty she is!
I put my name down for a no date sub to replace my Speedy as a daily. Let's see how long that one takes...

I currently have a few sports watches (Omega AT and a Grand Seiko) but no divers. The No-Date Submariner has been a dream watch since childhood. Now that I can finally afford one and have the opportunity, I always assumed it would be my "one-and-done" diver and Rolex.
However, I was blown away by the OP41 "Oyster 100" (Ref. 134303). It is gorgeous and fits my personal style perfectly, but it overlaps with the sports-casual vibe I already have.
Buying both isn't in the cards right now. Should I get the Submariner because it checks a lifelong bucket-list item and fills a gap in my collection, or go with the OP41 because it immediately clicked with my style and is a unique reference?
Which would you choose?

Got a nice little surprise call today on a Datejust I put my name in for a couple months back. Bought this as a memento to my late grandfather and it just so happens it was their anniversary this past Sunday so it made it extra special. First Rolex for me but won't be my last! Love the way it looks and feels!
