Watches aren't investments. You should assume you'll lose 100% of the value.
If you're concerned about value preservation, buy ETFs and index funds.
Buy what you like, don't worry about money in vs money out

They like falling for a sales tactic old as time?
My advice is to shop around at different ADs or Boutiques for the DJ. You’re not going to find an alternative that holds value well and you’ll eventually own the DJ

This is the correct answer
DJs are plentiful. Find a new AD.

If you care about value retention, buy VOO.
What actually interests you in the datejust? Do you want a sporty watch? A dial color? Certain case size?
I love Rolex, have a few. But the datejust is lame and boring. Would much rather have an omega or Breitling for an entry level sports watch. And they’re much cheaper. Who cares about losing value, this whole thing with watches having a premium is new and likely temporary. I was buying APs and Rolexes at a nice discount to MSRP before COVID.
Unless it’s a Wimbledon you shouldn’t be waiting for a DJ…

I find this hilarious because only a few years ago the Wimbledon was completely undesirable.

Look at Tudor. Excellent watches and readily available
The above comments are correct, find a new AD. I got a 41mm Wimbledon with fluted bezel on jubilee after about a month with no purchase history. Was offered a 36mm two tone Wimbledon with fluted bezel on jubilee like 2 weeks after as well.
Yea I agree. There are so many alternatives to the datejust if you’re open to it.. Grand Seiko, JLC, Cartier and Omega make fantastic dress watches that are both comparable and attainable.
I can’t speak to value retention because watches are meant to be worn. No matter what watch you get, the value generally goes down if you wear it
Buy preowned watches?
Which city are you in ? Can refer you to my AD in Chicago. Got my DJ in a month with zero song & dance.
