126655 RG Yachtmaster from Rolex AD in 2024?

After the watch market went crazy during the pandemic the prices and availability of everything turned me off and I stepped away from watch collecting for a few years. Now it's looking like prices are coming back down to more palatable levels. I'm also hearing talk that things are starting to become more readily available at AD's?

I'm becoming increasingly interested in picking up something new again, and started falling in love with the 126655 RG YM 40. I have an appointment scheduled next week to just meet a specialist at my local AD and just talk some about what I'm looking for, etc and start building that relationship. While I don't expect to just walk in and get something, is it likely I'll have to have to wait 1-3 years to get something like this? Is there still an expectation of buying lots of "undesirable" watches to be offered something like that? Just wondering what the state of things are at ADs in 2024.
