In your opinion what (amount spent) would make the cut for a SS GMT?

Humbly bring a box of chocolate to an AD and ask for a Rolex. I can indeed think of no nobler act of humility than this.

I actually didn’t do it when I went to pick up my bluesy. I thought I’d go back at a later date and ask for the next piece.

When you pick up your date just, say " I guess I've got to think about what my next one will be ha ha". And then return a week later with a small gift and thank him for the datejust, show him you've been wearing it everyday on your wrist and love it. And then at that time, ask for the batgirl.

In OP’s neck of the woods I would say 50k minimum probably closer to 75k

Limited to my experience, but I think I had to cross the $30K spend threshold before I was offered a SS GMT. To be fair, this was over a year ago and the market has changed significantly in the past year. Best of luck OP.

Don’t want to spend that much - If I ask my AD SA to become the God Parent of my next child / Grand Child would this significantly improve my chances of securing a Daytona?

After my first purchase at AD, the SA asked what is the next model you want ? I Replied skydweller and got one in a few months.

I was waiting for about 4 months for the Submariner and they said it was about 10% progression.

I really don’t know but my best guess in today’s market is probably not. Joking of course

I think at many places it's a list that is constantly being updated and reprioritized based on the prospective returns and evolving market conditions. At least that is what I would do. It doesn't make much business sense to use a sequential list for the highest demand items IMO.
