Hardest PM Rolexes to get at a dealer
Wondering what you all think are the hardest PM rolexes to source from a dealer (excluding exotic/jeweled pieces).
My guess would be 1) Platona 2) YG Daytona green dial 3) WG GMT Meteorite 4) RG Skydweller 5) WG Sub |

I’d put the RG DD40 w/ olive as #4 and move the others down one spot.
It’s crazy to think 1.5 years ago the PM SkyDs would just sit in the case. |

They had ugly roman or arabic numerals that made a great busy watch too busy. Getting my WG SkyD was easy. Getting the current white dial took a lot of effort.

Why? LOL
Stop chasing the hype and perceived shortage and just buy what you like. Especially at precious metal prices |

Have to agree but many of todays Rolex owners are driven by the hype, just to wear the hype, and not the watch.

No one knows or even gives a sh!# about the actual watch or movement inside but only how the perception of “rare” a particular model is. |

The vast majority of people who have bought rolexes in the last 30 years did so to obtain a status symbol, not because of a love of horology. This is nothing new. The same principal extends to the pretty much all luxury consumer goods. You can criticize it as vapid but it’s just human nature. |

Really? My AD made it seem like this one was fairly easy compared to the YG green dial.

Hardest PM Rolexes to get at a dealer
Oops! I read that as John Player Special (aka Newman dial). My bad — it’s late here

Going back to the original question - all of the ones listed! Be a straight up no from an ad here for me in London for all of them. |

Who cares, and FYI these except the newer meteor have all been available at one point or anther in display cases or if you asked nicely to see one, that means NO ONE had bought it!

I am hearing the new Meteorite Daytonas will be very tough to come by as well once they ship.

My AD said the 116508 YG green (John Mayer) Daytona is the most in-demand PM timepiece. He gets requests for this model daily, but only receives 1 of these a year. |

To think these Daytonas are hard to get and when you go on chrono24 there is over 900+ 2021 models be it different variations - far from rare IMO
