Daytona quantities received by the AD

[Sub*Man]

Platinum and Metoerote, they get 1-2 per year.

SS - I think around 6 a year, with no idea what dial. I waited 3 years for mine and I have significant purchases history.

OF - I waited over a year for one dial I requested, was offered others.

Most of them said they received 24 SS per year but not always in pairs and 2 Platimum per year. Interesting one of them told me that they expect receive a single shipment for the whole 2022....

Confirms what I have been told .By two ADs.

I mean there may be a calculation based on a metropolitan area, but I was told 4-6 per year of SS Daytonas back in like 1998 and this was a small AD.

Wow that was a while ago. Production must have increased since then?

Well who knows if that was accurate but it was the owner himself and we bought many watches from them. But I recall the two tone Daytonas were higher but forget the specific number. But things were much different then. I got my u series submariner in Christmas 1998 and according to what I can tell, the watch was made in fall 1997 and so it sat at that AD for almost a year before it was sold. The sport models were not the hot commodity it is now, but there was (I was told) a 2 year wait list even then for the SS Daytona.

Two years even back then, unreal. That really makes me think they aren't going to touch increasing production at all if Rolex has had a waitlist for one of their models for that long. It also makes me lean even more towards the idea that they have somewhat created this "high demand, low supply" issue themselves and would prefer it to stay as it is even if they've stated otherwise.
