How hard is it to get an allocation for a ED 321? Similar to a Daytona ?

Experiences vary...largely on the basis of your relationship with your OB. Given that Canada only has one OB (in Vancouver), developing a relationship from afar can be challenging. But many have been successful.

As Trogster pointed out, there’s only one boutique in the country (don’t waste your time at an AD).

I was successful by discussing my interest in the 321 reference specifically. I’m really into the history of this watch, and the 321 movement and backstory. I managed to really connect with my SA, and he knew I was a serious collector, something he told me made quite a difference in receiving the allocation.

Good luck, the Vancouver boutique are good folks

Looks great and the Canopus doesn’t look as small as I thought it would.
I am mulling over the platinum version, was blown away by it. The dial in the platinum case was almost emotional to try on!
There is a problem developing here though, you have 2 and you then need the last one! I am with the guys on the pricing on the Canopus. I don’t mind paying but there needs to be some justification to it.

That’s a beauty indeed.

Unfortunately it’s way above what I can justify to spend on a watch.

Well I will take you up on that.

I’ll be visiting Vancouver and plan to drop by the boutique first week of July as my wife is there for a conference.

Will send you a PM and we can exchange contact info for when the date approaches
