TBH if you've got a good purchasing relationship with you AD I personally don't think the wait will be over 18 months

You could have a nice used 116520 tomorrow for decent money. Are you sure you want a ceramic? I have a feeling that time will judge the 116520 very favourably, just like the 16610/14060 Sub vs the Sub C. The 116520 has the same movement as the 116500 and has the added bonus of already having a superb bracelet and clasp, unlike other older generation Rolexes.
I only have one example of the Rolex ceramic generation. After the initial infatuation I never wear it now. |

I went to a few dealers and they all sort of hinted that I will have a chance if I buy other watches with them. I didn't want to play the game. So, I went grey as opposed to buying something I didn't want nor need just to build relationship in hopes of getting the one I actually want.

If you REALLY want it, pay the premium and buy from a grey dealer. Why wait 3 years to save a few bucks, if you can afford to buy one now?

The "buy a DD @list and get a DayC @list" idea doesn't really make sense to me. While I understand the reluctance to pay scalper's prices for a watch (over "face value"), the savings you can easily negotiate on a (PM) DD more than offset the premium saved on getting the Daytona at RRP.

What feeds this frenzy to pay premium dollars is an age old adage....."What I can have I don't want, and what I can't have I want".

I think the 116520 is a great watch and I almost pulled the trigger on one multiple times. I call the 116500 a mid model refresh...but what a refresh! Like it or not in the end a steel Daytona is a steel Daytona, they will always have lore and waitlists in certain areas. I could spend 12K at DavidSW(his words) for a complete 116520 or $12,400 for a new 116500...the math was simple. Is the 116500 worth more than $12400 not in my opinion but it is if you are willing to pay it. One just has to decide if they have more time than money or money than time.
