Waitlist for Daytona (126500LN) & Skydweller (336934)

I just picked up a Sub 41 in Houston (1.5 yrs on Waitlist) and my first Rolex. Looking to add one of these to my collection and wondering how long the waitlist is?

Sorry to say it… if sub is your only purchase I might as well say never. Can you share your purchase history?

I think it's better to direct this question to your AD since they manage the waitlists. However, I would bet very long, especially for the Daytona.

OUCH!!!!

I'll try and talk to the Houston AD and showcase my interest anyway; hopefully when I'm 60 years old I get the call for Daytona (I'm 45 now).

Will showcase my interest for a Daytona/Skydweller but since my wrist is skinny, the daytona might work better. Hopefully one day I get the call lol

probably not doable without additional purchases along the way but you never know. SD is probably more likely than the daytona but I'm not a fan of the thickness.

I love SD but too big for my wrist (and thick)

That's about right if you get lucky. You have a choice, time vs money. I would rather kick it out now and enjoy it for the next 15 years rather than hoping it's my AD each time the phone rings. Good luck!!

For those two I’d estimate never with your one watch buying history.

For the black dial Daytona in a major metropolitan area expect to spend in the region of 120k before you are even considered.

For the Blue dial SkyDweller another 50 to 80k on top of the previous amount.

If you want them in reverse order just invert the references because the spend will remain unchanged
