Well, as you've already got 4 Daytona's from them, I'd say your odds are a little better than most. Good luck and keep us posted.

I’m sure you’ll see one come in for you soon Alex! You have a fantastic collection. The platinum Daytona would be fantastic with it all.

I’ve asked a few ADs and they all say the same thing. They may get 1 a year and there is still demand for them so not easy to get just because of the limited inventory.

Bet you are offered the next one they get. I doubt that list is very long. I was offered one a couple years ago but had 2 kids in college then. Priorities. Good luck!

I absolutely love this watch. The plat almost makes it feel different from the rest of the models.

Feels special and makes the 126500 wear like a bracelet of paper clips lol

Love that too, but this is just better

This is a relatively new Daytona. My ad only had 1 roll in so far. Maybe Rolex is making sure these stay scarce this time around.

What a beauty.

I never held one in my hand.

Is platinum heavier than gold or about the same weight?

I never thought that I would like the new 126 version until I saw it and tried it on my wrist. It felt very special, not only because of the exhibition case back, but also because of the overall proportions and the platinum rings around the bezel. It really sets itself apart from the older version that has been in production for years. It's really grown on me, and I've even put my name on one too.

It’s stunning for sure! But never seen the 12 in person!

The diamond dial has the cleaner visual image IMHO. I like the glacier subdials without the brown chapter rings.

They are really nice in person. I remember visiting family back in 2017 in LA and there was one in the case available for purchase.

If I had a crystal ball, I would have purchased it on the spot but that's not how life works.

I really hope you get one! I’ve expressed interest in one as well. Let’s keep our fingers crossed!
