Rolex Datejust 41 126300: buyer budget sits above ask

The WTB target is $11,600. The median ask across 15 posts is $10,500, with a middle half of $10,150 to $11,300. That budget is about 10 percent over the median and clears the top quarter of asks. Priced posts ran $9,650 to $11,650, mostly full set.

A white-gold Daytona 126519LN with a meteorite dial is asking $88,000. The standard 126519LN median is $48,750, mostly watch + card. The meteorite premium is about 80 percent.

A Daytona 126508 appeared at $78,000 and $84,500. Both are asks.

Three reduced-price listings stood out: an Oyster Perpetual 41 124300 Celebration at $22,000, a Royal Oak Chronograph 26320ST at $34,750, and a Submariner 16610 at $9,000.

Most-mentioned watches: GMT-Master II and Datejust lead

GMT-Master II leads with 124 mentions, then Datejust at 101 and Submariner at 50. GMT-Master II draws 2.5 times the Submariner count. Tudor Black Bay is fourth at 48 and the Royal Oak is fifth at 44. Rolex holds 7 of the top 10 spots.

Three Datejust 41 references carry 60 priced posts: 28 on the 126334, 17 on the 126333 and 15 on the 126300. The 126334 centers at $15,000, with a middle half of $13,688 to $15,700. The 126333 centers at $17,250. Cross-posting lifts these counts, so the 28 is not 28 watches.

Wanted lists lean Rolex: Daytona 116515, Submariner 126613LB, Land-Dweller 127236, GMT-Master II 126710GRNR and Datejust 41 126300. Outside Rolex, buyers want a Breitling Chronomat GMT, an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver and an Omega Speedmaster Reduced.

Stated budgets are few. $16,000 for a GMT-Master II Sprite. $2,500 for the Speedmaster Reduced. $2,000 to $5,000 for a ladies watch.

How we read the market: figures come from for-sale and wanted-to-buy posts in the buy and sell groups we follow during the period shown. Medians use posts with a stated price or budget, and the same watch can appear in more than one group. This is a read on the market, not an appraisal, price quote or financial advice.
