Oh yeah, there's also the t-shirts that say, "Arizona, All Beach, No Ocean!!"
Indeed haha

I can't pretend to know and understand how Rolex distributes and allocates watches to various ADs in the network but if it's any indication, an AD in central NJ had this exact model sitting in the case in December (which I bought) and had another one (same model) in the case as recent as a month ago.

If you buy one in Scottsdale, do not let them size the bracelet.
They will damage the hades out of it.
That is all I am going to say.

Visit all ADs around you and tell them what you want.
Call or email the others within 3-4 hours radius.
Follow up/stop by once a month to check in.
I would not place a deposit as that will limit you to one AD.
Thats at least what I would do.

Excellent choice! Very good advice in this thread already. I got mine last year in PA (right after they were released). I believe I had about a 2-3 month wait & did not have to leave a deposit.

You should be able to get one within a few months at most (or may get lucky). I think any AD will just be happy that you are not on the "any Daytona or a Sub" hype train. (BTW I also have a white dial Milgauss- another under-rated reference!)

The YM is a great choice, far more interesting than your standard black Sub, IMHO.

Excellent choice. As others have said you can try AD route with likely a couple month wait; I waited about that long for my blue dial YM.

On the other hand if you cant wait, go grey and have it here tomorrow with little to no premium over MSRP.

I love the blue dial but I got the Rhodium and would do so again if offered both. I think Rhodium dial with ice blue second hand is probably one of the most unique dials of the sports models. the blue dial has that red second hand but there are so many blue dial rolexes being sold. If I could afford to, I would buy both! But if I could only pick one I would buy the Rhodium all over again. It's a fantastic sports watch!

I passed by my local AD and requested to be added to the list and got the call 2 weeks later (no previous purchase history with them); I'd say reach out and give it a shot.
