Daytonas are more plentiful than blue dial SkyDwellers.
My AD hasn’t had one yet.

Agree w Jorge
GMT BLRO is moving up the chain, i would guess it will jump ahead of both the skyD and the LVC if it hasn't already.

So you're the one who is taking all my watches!

If you're AD is the one at Millenia Mall...they must REALLY love you, or you spend way too much money there

It's one of the most visited ADs in FL due to tourism and they never have ANYTHING in the cases.

SS BLRO is probably in the 2nd or 3rd position now from what I see and hear.

Seadweller 43 also extremely hard to find in Mark 1 or Mark 2 dials.

My knee jerk reaction would be SS Daytona C etc., but I imagine things like Rainbow Daytona or a gem set GMT would be tougher.
