Why it is hard to get
The 2020 redesign moved the case to 41 mm and demand has not levelled off since. It is the default first Rolex for a large number of buyers, which keeps pressure on both retail allocation and the secondary market.
What sourcing it from Japan gives you
Supply in Japan is comparatively good for this reference, and full sets are the norm rather than the exception. Our job is to separate a genuinely unworn piece from one that has been worn and polished.
What it costs
We do not publish a price for this reference. The market moves weekly and a number printed on a page ages badly, so any figure here would be decoration rather than information. When you ask, we quote the current Japanese market level and show you the individual listings behind it, with our fee stated separately.

Questions about this reference
- How do you tell a polished case?
By the lug chamfers and the crispness of the edge between the brushed top and polished side. Once a case has been through a lathe those transitions soften. We photograph them and say so in the report.
- Does the no-date 124060 change the picture?
It is usually easier to find and trades below the date version. If the cyclops is not important to you, saying so widens the search and often lowers what you pay.
