Just another AD waiting list story

So are you going grey market? What’s the plan?

You can’t go wrong with a 114060..... gorgeous watch and not hugely over retail compared to others

"I really wanted the new Daytona C 116500"...

Oh course you did...

Then the story about the fruitless search goes on and on....

Why would the AD sell one to you, without any purchase history?

It's a DEAD END sale. They need that watch to sell to customers who are continually buying, thus keeping the buying cycle in their store going...selling it to the OP is a waste of resources.

As for resources, I highly doubt that if Rolex cranked out and wildly distributed SS Daytona's so that they were 100% available @ 100% of AD's, that the people complaining about NOT being able to get one, would even consider buying it...

There are countless chronographs (and divers / GMT) from other luxury brands that are immediately available without any issue what so ever....but guess what? Nobody really wants them. They just sit in the display cases while the majority of consumers cram into the AD's to get their chance at the SS Daytona, PEPSI and SUB.
