No question the rose gold Rainbow Daytona 116595RBOW. I managed to get 1 of only 6 that arrived in the UK last year.

I’m not ashamed to say I’m partially motivated by the hype/prestige associated with some of the watches on the list, not to mention the thought of being able to buy a watch well below its actual market value. If this means I’m “buying it for the wrong reason,” so be it. It’s a watch, and I’m human.
Appreciate the responses. Forgot about the Olive DD40. |

My AD offered me the green dial YG Daytona he had in the back. Not my cup of tea. Waiting on a Platinum Daytona, which he told me was much harder to acquire.

While we are on the topic, I have recently had an itch for a 126655 Rose Gold YM on OF any of y’all have a thought on how difficult or not so difficult that should be?

I still get a kick out of your thread and how came back shutting down the naysayers with proof. That was a good thread. The 126655 is still obtainable with a relatively short wait. Last year it would be almost available instantly, if not, already in the case. It’s selling for a small premium on the secondary market now, which is long overdue imo. I bought mine in Jan 2020 and think it’s an incredible watch especially w/ the Glidelock. Perfect for the summer season! I imagine as more time progresses the more difficult this reference will be to obtain like all other models. |

My SA felt the same way about this reference. It’s probably one of the best looking watches Rolex sells right now and it’s still flying under the radar of most buyers. I only buy watches that I personally really like and couldn’t care less about resale but I wouldn’t be surprised if this little sleeper starts to see big premiums and long wait lists in the next couple of years. |

Where do you guys think the 2021 meteorite dial daytonas will slot in on both OF and full bracelet?
I've asked my dealer for one... he didn't scoff, but I don't know if I'm being tagged along... |

It will be just as difficult as the GMT meteorite I reckon. My AD also confirmed the same when I expressed interested for the RG meteorite on full bracelet.

Rolex make roughly 900k watches a year of which I'm guessing 200k are unwanted. Lady datejust anyone??
Rolex need to go through their over inflated catalogue and trim it down to a sensible level. The endless alternatives to each watch, whilst nice, is unnecessary, costly and extremely inefficient. Swapping production runs on unwanted/hard to sell watches to hot/warm models makes production easier and cheaper. They should also increase RRP too on these models They will never over supply demand because each hot model has a very long waiting list (unless Rolex go out of fashion which may or may not happen) and by increasing availability of hot models and reducing the number of unwanteds will reduce AD requirement to off load job lots to the grey market or even to the genuine buyers.. |

I think Rainbow Daytona.
That's a totally different level than the ones mentioned pedestrian models.

I really don’t think the Platona is number one, likely number 3 in difficulty; it is more of a price thing. I think your #’s 2&3 are battling for #1 difficulty, IMHO…
