Window Shopping
I took a trip today to my local AD to window shop. I was not expecting to see much based off of what I have read on this forum. I saw mostly DJs and 3 different DDs (my fav watch that I am saving for) and other models that I did not know what they were. I just started getting into Rolex the last few months. But what through me off was I saw a SS Daytona in the display case. Wow! I was shocked and there was no sign saying "display only". I am not sure if it is reserved (did not ask) but I do not think it would be since it was in the case. Anyway great visit and I can't wait to go back when I am done saving for my DD.

I'm a doubter. There are white gold Daytonas that might be in the case, no US dealer would put a random 116500 out for first come/first serve.

And IF it was a SS, who wouldn't if one had the means run into the store and buy it immediately for no other reason than to sell it for a very nice gain. Regardless of ones income, why wouldn't anyone like a free $8-10k?

Pretty simple... did it have a ceramic bezel with a bracelet or not?
You spent the time to post on the forums but no time to take a pic or quickly go in and ask?

I did not ask because I’m not personally interested in SS models. It is probably a PM Daytona.

I am admitting it right now. If I see a new SS Daytona in an AD window for sale at retail, I am flipping that immediately. Hate if you want but there is no doubt.

One of the Mayors in Florida has had one for years and I visit it every time I am in Florida. Seemly daily people ask if it’s a steel one. It must be a fair old age now There is absolutely zero way an unsold 116500 is sitting in a window. |

If it was stainless it was probably pre-Owned and available for grey market prices. Wouldn’t be the first AD I’ve seen do this.
