I would imagine in Vegas a Rolex is part of the standard uniform. Lots of people competing for the watch

Do you think I'll have a chance of getting one from an AD in Vegas?

I am also looking to add another precious metal piece to the collection, in order of want:

1) Green Dial yellow gold Daytona
2) Oyster Flex Daytona
3) Olive Dial rose gold day date

Again for those members who live in Vegas what is availability like for these models above?
You've got a better chance getting a SS Submariner in Vegas than being allowed to holiday to Vegas from the UK in June

I'm just an optimist guys, I have purchased a ceramic Daytona as a first purchase from an AD, and a white dial 5711 Nautilus as a first purchase from another AD previously.

I like to approach situations with optimism and the 'you don't ask you don't get' mentality.

:)

You’re also optimistic about crossing the Atlantic in June?

Always worth a try - I was visiting Chicago on business back in 2015 - walked into the AD on Michigan whilst shopping for return gifts dressed in shorts and asked as I did everywhere I visit for at white faced SS Daytona.

And guess what: One appeared from the safe.

Ever the optimist.

I can't comment on Las Vegas, but here in Germany I've more chance of finding a white unicorn than a Sub at msrp from an AD! But I admire your optimism, and there's no harm in being bold and walking in and asking...you never know!
