At that time he said that there will be a long line going into the store if he advertize deal like that and almost laugh at me.
This time he said if I buy the bracelet he'll sell both watch and bracelet. So he discounted bracelet for $4.4K and Daytona at MSRP(retail price). IMO this is win-win situation for me and my wife. Given I need present for my wife anyway.
So, to your question, I guess, there is a hope to get hot watches at MSRP.
P.S. In USA ADs can't sell Rolex watches above MSRP. Rolex Daytona 116500 in USA at MSRP $12.4K

I'll say!-your Daytona purchase could be a real "win-win" situation, esp. if you
can get the full $22050 price you're asking for it here:

That’s a clean $9650 profit. But looking at it another way, if you get the $22050 you can cover the cost of your DSSD-MSRP $12250, and your BLNR-MSRP $8950, which you said were the prices you paid for these watches and still be ahead $850. Sweet!

Only catch, you'll no longer have your grail, or like what others have said in this thread, your "land-sea-air" combo. And it might be years before you come across another black dial ceramic Daytona.

But with the luck you’ve been having so far, who knows, you might soon source a white dial ceramic Daytona, at MSRP of course. BTW, are you sure your AD isn’t your brother? Or at least your brother-in-law?
