Buying a TT Daytona

[vortx]

Hey,

I’m trying to buy the 116503 two-tone daytona model with the black dial. It would be the first Rolex watch for me, which means I have no buying history etc.

Today I walked into my local AD and they told me that they dont have a single sports rolex model and that I can forget buying a daytona within the next years. She said maybe in 8 years... and the waiting lists are closed since last year. I already asked them last December about the daytona. They told be I should come back next year (January) as they will have more information then...

I know that it’s extremely hard to get stainless steel models but also a reason for me to by a tt model.

I would be happy for some feedback. Is that normal? That they dont have ANY sports models? That they told me there will be basically no chance to get one in the next years? Maybe it’s because of corona?

The other option would be grey-market. Does anyone have recommendations here?

Excited about your thoughts on that!
