On all the Rolex forums for the last 3 years there’s been a lot of chat and discord over people saying that they have to spend X amount on stuff they don’t want like jewellery etc, to get what they do want - people generally reply with various responses, but that they only make 1 million watches a year and demand is 10, 20 or even 50 fold so they can never supply everyone a Daytona or Pepsi. The irony is that if they could people would be so fickle they wouldn’t want them anyway!

Thankfully AP don’t operate that way, but they supply less than 50,000 watches maybe? Of that how many are RO’s? A lot less. They can never supply everyone. It just won’t happen. So I don’t think it’s about eligibility so to speak, but due to the limited amount, someone showing a broader interest in the brand may get there quicker.
