For sure it is possible to walk in and get retail price. The question is, how many years prior did you express interest in the watch and how much $$$$$ did you spend with them on non-rolex purchases in the meantime?

Nice vague question. Possible to get what? Wife and I walked in and picked from two SS 31mm DJs. That won't happen with anything larger for men.

If you have to ask, then no, it is not possible for you, except for whatever few pieces they have displayed for sale, which will be one of their harder to sell models.

I’ve been to 5 Toronto ADs in the last month. Empty displays at 3 of them. Other 2 had some diamond two tone Date Justs.

Nothing is impossible. Just need to be patient and stay on a waiting list. Come personally, do not do it online.

I have had the same experience. Nothing over 31mm anywhere in the GTA without prior purchasing history.

I have a decent purchasing history and cannot get a LV Sub. Been trying.

I know the main AD in Toronto well. I've purchased at Versailles several times, including a white Daytona.

Your chances of buying a sports Rolex in Toronto at retail, without a prior relationship, is pretty much the same as at any AD in any city .... zero.
