… right, I officially told my AD I’d like to be considered for a Plat Daytona. They’ve already sold me 4 Daytonas, they’ve been really good to me, so there’s a tiny weeny minuscule little chance I guess.

I guess I’ll prob update this thread in 10 years with a “I’ve been offered” :) but by then I’ll be retired and poor, and the only watch I’ll see will be a round one hanging upside down affixed to someone in a white coat

On a serious note - happy to wait for as long as. Not in a hurry (and will not buy from grey mkt at all - given the price jump). Either AD, or no deal!

I don’t know but wouldn’t think they’d be so hard to get these days.

FWIW, I love mine!

Be ready. Not many want or can afford this price point these days.

Max in a year, for sure. Won’t be longer than that!

A year in Pluto, mind you.

It’s a spectacular watch. Saw one in Japan a few months ago…

There’s quite a few squillionaires out there and here on TRF too (not me!).

CarlOver · Yesterday, 09:27 AM

I see this being offered in time for the holidays.

Well let’s see how much they (really) love me! :)

Hodog16 · Yesterday, 10:36 AM

Think it depends on a few factors. I've requested this watch as well along with a few others from my AD. I've also spoken to other ADs that have a handful of people on the wait list, which could stretch the wait awhile since these don't come in very often.

In fact I've heard some ADs only get one every other year so it's just a matter of staying on top of things and you'll (we'll?!?) get the call soon enough.

StocksnBlondes · Yesterday, 12:23 PM

I have to think not all tiered ADs get these pieces.

On a serious note - happy to wait for as long as. Not in a hurry (and will not buy from grey mkt at all - given the price jump). Either AD, or no deal!

The dire situation in the watch industry is likely to swing in your favor- relatively quickly I think. The heavy hitter references have stagnated and represent already dead cash for grey deals still lumbered with them. I was offered an 11 series with baguette diamond markers for 89k USD just last week by not one but two separate grey dealers. For this reference the speculators are well and truly MIA now so only genuine buyers (like you) will be fighting for one. As many have already speculated, buyers of watches at that price point are become very scarce indeed.

TheHulk · Yesterday, 01:11 PM

I have the 116 version with baguettes and its my favorite of all time hands down!

ArtNouveau · Yesterday, 01:15 PM

People tend to forget these were often sitting in the case before the recent hype years. I think you’ll get it within months.

Zach69SS · Yesterday, 01:34 PM

Op, you never know, after 4 Daytona’s you have a very strong relationship with the AD.
They don’t get many Platona’s
maybe 1 per year and that’s some ADs only. I believe that reference requires approval from Rolex for allocation? Not 100% sure?

I would say that your chances are better than most.

Good luck,

Cheers,

alex.cicollo · Yesterday, 05:11 PM

For those folks lucky enough to have one, please post pictures!

Thank you all for the replies and opinions.

This was my first thought. I wouldn't exactly be holding my breath, but I'd check my available funds just in case.

travisb · Yesterday, 08:35 PM

obywan · Yesterday, 08:38 PM

I love your patience and sticking to your guns with the AD—sounds like you've built a solid relationship, so who knows, that Daytona might come around sooner than you think! It’ll definitely be worth the wait. Keep us posted, and here’s hoping it’s not a 10-year saga!

Zyfon · Yesterday, 08:40 PM

Saw one sitting at my local AD a few months ago. I'm sure your AD should be able to locate one sooner than expected.

This. I was offered one a couple of years ago during the holidays. As gorgeous as it is, I passed.

Where have they gone?

I remember people paying 125k usd and I think a lot more. Crazy.

Calatrava r · Yesterday, 09:46 PM

I too think the demand for this point watches has softened quite a bit. You should have it soon. Good luck.

1William · Yesterday, 10:27 PM

Good luck.

rmlovett1 · Yesterday, 10:38 PM

Hopefully soon! Good luck, it’s worth every penny!
