Is SS Daytona obtainable msrp? (Sorry for the newbie question)

Hello,

I am new to the forum. I currently wear a Sub Date 116610ln and the Air King 116900.

I recently tried on a new black dial SS Daytona. It an amazing looking watch in person. It's my on my wish list now.

Does anyone know what is the chances and what it actually takes to get one from an AD? I don't see myself buying one on the grey market for awhile, and wanted to know if it was even attainable. How long it usually takes and how much average you would have to spend?

Thanks in advance.

Yes I got mine from my AD. I have been best friend forever with my AD for years.

Depends on your spend history, AD relationship and luck.
Some wait 8 years, some 8 months, Some still waiting……

Your location and market also come into play.

Daytona’s are hard together in any configuration..

Happy Hunting,

No, lot’s of people say they get them from an AD - my AD never has anything in stock. Go grey - great service, get it tomorrow. Although you will pay market prices. On the bright side I just purchased a Root Beer for basically retail yesterday via grey.

Being in LA doesn't help your odds. Know many people with a 6 figure spend history who waited years before getting one.
