Don't know if they are rare or not, but since I got mine my other watches have been in the box and I don't think it will change anytime soon, love it......

All it cost me was 25 years she has made them some of the best years of my life It didn't hurt that I got her a TT mid size Datejust as well.

I have been to 10+ ADs in Bay Area, CA in last 10 months and some been more than one times. However, Never seem one SS Daytona available in store or display. Only WG or RG available. All said same story... not able to get or order it. They just come 2 or 3 randomaly a year.

Tourneau on Market had both a white and a black SS in their safe, last time I was there. I guess it's all who you know, or who you ask.

As some have commented my AD always had one in stock but it never was in the showcase. After my 4th ROLEX purchase when I asked for one -- it appeared.

Some bay area dealer have told me they usually put it in the window case when they get them but never know when they have them
But ones I visited get several a year and willing/able buyer usually wouldn't need to wait long to get one if they don't already have one in stock.

I think all Swiss watches have gone up in prices recently.
Look at omega planet ocean chronograph it's almost £6.5k , so I had the option to buy I would buy a daytona for a grand extra , even tag watches have gone up like mad in price, and the hype of a daytona is created by ourselves not by Rolex .
But it's a very good watch compared to other chronograph Swiss watches

Each ADs experience will vary regarding the number of Daytona's they get in + the timing/frequency. My local ones have said similar things like "we see a couple each year".

But it could be different elsewhere -e.g., in say Las Vegas where they had 4-5 of the SS white dials and over a dozen other dials/metals in the case earlier this year when I visited them.

I have to wonder how many are taken in in by pawn shops with the plastic still intact? Win some money, buy a lucky Rolex.. lose some money " damn Rolex is cursed" sell it to pawn shop and the cycle continues
