Icon5 Of all Rolex SS Sport watches; which in order are the toughest to get at an AD?

DaytonaC white
DaytonaC black
Sky Dweller SS (Blue, White, Black)
SD
Hulk
BLNR
BLRO
SubC

Lately just getting one of these pieces is difficult, I’ve always wondered in what order the difficulty in sourcing these watches are.

What would you say are the top 5 most difficult?

Fairly accurate thought I’d say blro was higher.

SD is easier to get than a Skydweller? Would imagine it to be the contrary but not sure

Daytona either black or white.
SD43 is easier to get in Switzerland

My experience:
Daytona- we don’t put new names in the list
Sky-Dweller - the same
BLRO- you will 25th
BLNR- you will be 5th
LV- 2 months of waiting and got a call

Maybe in WG.

Certainly not in SS.

Daytona/Pepsi/Blue Sky-D are all in the same tier right now and pretty tough to find.

In the 2nd tier, you’ve got an equal mix, although fairly close, I’d rank as this:

Hulk
SD43
Deep Blue DSSD
Black Sky-D
Batman
White Sky-D

1) BLRO

2) Daytona White / SKY-D BLUE. Supposedly the SKY-D is harder to source.

3) Daytona Black

4) Sky-D Black / White

5) SD 43* This seems to vary by region more than others.

6) JC SD

7) Hulk

8) Batman

9) Sub Date

10) GMT

11) Sub

12) Polar Exp 2

whats left is usually in stock
