Perhaps a more interesting question would be Daytona Rainbow, AP 15407, or PP 5711....

PP 5711, not even close

In many ADs, you pay full price for a DD diamond can almost give you a great if not 100% chance to get a daytona white, meanwhile I knew some dude was so pissed off and decided to drop his relationship with a PP AD after spending more than half million on several PP perpetual complicates but still waiting for the 5711.

But he didn't want it a few years before when it was readily available :-)

A slightly more interesting question would be rainbow, 15407, or 5980r.

Perhaps, a more interesting question for you. My thread concerned 3 of the most popular, hard to get, SS models.......

All are easy to get. Ask any good trusted seller. If you want it bad enough....

True, and since I had a 5167 when few wanted them, Naut was relatively easy too. So my money is on the modern Daytona as hardest to get. Newbies must hate us long-time collectors who had, wore as beaters, and already moved on.

So again, the modern Daytona is the hardest.

I would say Daytona is the hardest of the three. That’s based on my personal experience being able to get the RO, Aquanaut and Nautilus way faster than the Daytona.

I'd say Nautilus as it brings the biggest mark up over MSRP after an AD retail purchase.
