there's a plethora of them here in AD's in Singapore. Saw a black face SS in an AD just last week on Sentosa.

A few minutes later he brought out the daytona I wanted and it was mine

Now obviously that isn't a guaranteed way of getting one but it was my experience and I would imagine that once he saw I was a serious buyer not looking to purchase through 0% financing or anything he was more inclined to bring out the daytona from the safe

It's easier than that...a NIB White Dial SS is for sale right now on TRF.

1 Year waiting list in Kuwait.

TimeOnHand · 9 August 2012, 08:03 PM

In HK you will not find the Daytona at an AD!

Ristretto · 9 August 2012, 09:41 PM

i have never seen a SS Daytona at any boutique ie Monaco, Kuwait, St Tropez, Dubai, Portofino, London etc. I saw many precious metal Daytona's in stock but no SS.

Agreed. I have already mentioned this on different posts before, but here go's IN ALL MY TRAVELS OVER A LARGE PART OF THIS GLOBE; I HAVE NEVER, EVER SEEN ONE ON DISPLAY, NEVER, EVER, EVER.

herbie911 · 9 August 2012, 11:20 PM

In UK and Hong Kong, I never see one on display window. It is still hard work to get one. For those of you who said it is easy to get one, please send photos and tell us where the watch is. I am sure there are a few members here who are still looking for one!

Amen,

Other than the U.S (from what I hear over the forum) I have never ever seen on displayed in Public window or in AD other than the one sitting on my wrist

chillviper · 9 August 2012, 09:46 PM

Mine gets them in several times a year. It's definitely a reward-based system for the AD. If the Rolex account rep favors the dealer, they tend to get more. It's been much easier for me at independents vs chains. When I got my 1st, it was the 1st time I had ever walked in to this particular AD, so you don't have to be an existing or long time customer. It just takes leg work on your part to find one.

That being said, I would ALWAYS check first with a trusted seller like DavidSW.

Some AD's may be only showing them to exclusive clients or giving the call to preferred people before it hits the showroom floor.

In reality, they are not hard to get anymore. My AD has more trouble getting me an LVc than a Daytona!

Can you imaging the amount of profit you can get from those Daytona at discount....?

nolawis · 10 August 2012, 12:14 AM

Take a drive to LA. I saw one recently at Hing Wa Lee in Walnut.

baller24 · 13 August 2012, 11:55 AM

never seen one in a Dallas or Fort Worth AD before. Most of the time the AD laughs when you ask if they have one.

RC2 · 13 August 2012, 12:12 PM

Took my father a while. Think 2 years to get. Found in an AD while at a wedding in DC. Very random Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1344823928.580576.jpg

None of the ADs have a SS Daytona in the showcase ever. Only place I see them for sale is on the boards and Ebay.

myopiccoog · 13 August 2012, 12:29 PM

They are everywhere. I remember when I bought mine 10 years ago. I saw maybe 1-2 a year on the street. I have seen 6-7 already this month. Bottom line. Not rare. Best fitting Rolex in my opinion! I have a 18k yellow, white mop dial on a strap now too. This watch is 10 x harded to find than an SS.

Dayton ssb · 13 August 2012, 01:41 PM

during my hunt last year in Illinois, first Rolex ... and been on a waiting list for two months.. first call, my funds were not ready... one month later, got a call from Indiana ad and jumped on it.. lucky.. I think the amount of names on their supposed list were short...

Not true. I've seen them in the showcase at AD.

Sorry let me clarify none of the ADs I have been to in MI have had one I seen on display.

ujj · 13 August 2012, 04:09 PM

Its usually available at the AD's here in India. When I bought my SS Daytone (Black) a few months back, I saw it both the white and black dials at 2 different AD's and also spoke to another AD in Mumbai and he had both in stock too.

Lanfor · 14 August 2012, 08:22 AM

If any UK people are struggling I know where to find one

AmbSteve · 14 August 2012, 10:21 AM

Got a call from the AD here that he just got in a black dial one. From what I know of them around here is that they are usually in the back and not in the showcase. Heading out there tomorrow to check it out.

A.Sharp · 14 August 2012, 11:21 AM

If you have the cash, it is rather easy to find...

Mystro · 14 August 2012, 12:13 PM

There are a few for sale in PA. I know they have been for sale for a while now. These Rolex dealer games are getting old with the artificial supply and demand sales techniques.

Silvio Mosiello · 14 August 2012, 12:16 PM

They are not as rare as they are saught out to be...

Jake B · 14 August 2012, 12:40 PM

Not hard to find here..They're all over the place.

I'm quite certain the OP was referring to brand new SS Daytonas from AD's

Those black face 16520's were new a long time ago

It's the only pic I had on file...Regardless, they're all over the place here. Definitely not hard to find. I bought a 114060 at a boutique yesterday and tried one on.

I understand.

There are 100's of grey Daytonas here in NYC. Many of them never worn with the plastic still on.

Finding one BNIB from an AD is the debate

Do you realize how many AD there are in HK? There's no debate, they're available.
