Waiting list for 116500 LN?

How long is the waiting list to purchase 116400 LN in the USA? Is the $12,000 USD retail price still the same? I looking at the white dial

It's a long list if you don't have relationship with AD. The MSRP is $12.4K. Good luck for your search on Daytona 116500 white.

Unrealistically long assuming the list exists at your AD. Most likely just a loose list that collects dust while others willing to spend more money get priority.

Thank! Why rolex can’t make enough watches to meet the demands? They do this intentionally or what?

Unless you are a whale or have connections ... your chances are slim to none buying from AD for MSRP.

If you really want 500C white ... pay $20K from grey or buy something else.

If you have $100k to spend at AD, then most likely you will get one really soon

If you don't have $100k and have no AD relationship then probably 5-7 years!

That's assuming there is a "list" for you to actually get put one

Otherwise buy $20k+ from grey dealer

Well what kind of friends are these. If they can't be patient and loyal friends for the 5-7 year wait to get your watch then dump them. By then you can get some new friends who are more worthy to show off your Rolex too. Then they too can get on a list for 5-7 years.
The important thing though is to be first so you can rub it in and show off that new Rollie.

Yes, but the market is so crazy for SS Rolexes now that all models are so overrun.

If you want to show off to your friends buy a Used one for $20K and leave the price tag on... and attach a bell.

If you show AD your crossed toes you may get Daytona for sure.

Can I be friends with you and your AD?

I've been waiting almost three years (for the White dial) ... Sigh
