Reasonable wait time for SS Daytona white dial

What would you define a reasonable timeframe from an AD for the delivery of a white dial Daytona

I don't spend like a VIP but I'm treated like one (AD store owner is a very good friend)...and it took me about 1.5 years to get one. The answers are going to be all over the board on this one.

Your timeframe choices are laughable unless you are gearing the poll to those who have bought 10+ Rolexes from the same AD.

I was looking at the poll and expected years not months.

I doubt anyone can get a SS Daytona in 6 months. Unless you have an antarctic blue whale spend history.

I got one in just under 60 days back in 2018 from my AD. It was certainly an anomaly and I was extremely lucky. I had only purchased a 116710 from the previously.

Waited three years for mine (only purchased a 116710BLNR from the AD).

It all depends on how many Daytona's the AD gets (different AD where I purchased my black dial from said they only received 10 Daytona's in that year; 6 black and 4 white dial)

A VVVIP would be elated to get one in 6 months.

You may not think it’s reasonable.

But “years” is far more accurate, and more likely (at best) for most, than 6 months or less.

I got 2 Daytona, batgirl, Pepsi and now Starbucks all in one year. All depends on your relationship with AD. Best of luck.

Well past the life of the current model. Better get in line for the replacement for the 116500 in 2028

I guess I should have said no one is getting one <6 months in 2021 without whale like spend history... but of course there are anomalies.

If you are a watch Instagrammer with lots of followers than contact any AD through DM and try. I know someone who got his that way within a few weeks. I am talking spring 2021.

Tudor chrono panda is amazing. Much shorter wait too. And at 5k it’s a steal. With the 30k you save you can also get a nice Honda Accord.

The poll does state what you would "think" is a reasonable time frame, not what the actual time frame is.
