Rolex Sport Models from easiest to hardest

I think in the non-WIS community there’s more demand for the Date model. However, I think I’ve read on the forums an estimate that Rolex makes one Submariner (without Date) for every 5 Submariner Date.

While both are mass produced, the Submariner might be a bit tougher to come by at an AD?

Someone posted a video here recently of a gray dealer saying they see ~25 or so Submariner Dates for each Submariner they see. That seemed like a much bigger disparity than I would have guessed, but it emphasized your point. I think there is more demand generally for the SubDate, but there’s also a lot more supply. I actually think the no-date is harder to track down if it’s what you’re after.

Rolex doesn't classify them as "Professional" (aka Sport) models, but I think a lot of us sort of just lump them in with versatile/sporty characteristics of the Professional models.


I also find it interesting that every list posted ITT has included the YMII, but not the regular YM.

It depends on the person buying. For a VIP at one AD, it may be easier to get a Daytona then a YM (if YM is not available). For a first time buyer at another AD it may be the exact opposite (YM available but won’t be offered a Daytona). So the only real answer to all of these “how long / how hard is it to get X” is “it depends.”

On the list for a Batman, Pepsi, and OP41. I’ll let you know what gets in first. Picked up my Daytona C Black dial middle part of Dec 20.

I was thinking the same. I think it varies depending on the region.

A friend of mine purchased a rose gold Day date the Platona and a DJ for his wife and was still told the list is closed for the White dial Daytona
