- Platinum references (Daytona, DD40)
- RG DD40 olive dial (this is a toss up, can be below or above the 116500)
- SS Daytona (116500)
- SS GMT (BLRO, BLNR, etc)

Most ADs will require significant purchase history to land a meteorite reference and especially anything that's "off-catalogue". Heck, some ADs may never get these references during a production run because they aren't a high volume dealer. They don't just send these to any AD.

I agree with this list… I would add the SS Skydweller above the GMT, at or just below SS Daytona.

Of what is actually in the catalogs and can be configured on the Rolex website?

In no particular order:

1) YG Rolex Daytona with Green Dial (John Mayer)
2) Platona with Baguette Indices
3) Meteorite Dial Daytona (PM Bracelet or OysterFlex)

Hardest to get - gross demand relative to price: Rolex DaytonaC (White)

Your AD said there's a stop order on what? The Meteorite GMT?

I waited 12 years for white dial and 4 years for black dial … different ADs.
