Haven't seen NOS but I know where you can grab a SD in perfect condition just out of RSC with papers.

Don't know any ADs specifically which will still have BNIB. Of all the ADs I've come across, all items on display were the new models. If you specifically want one from an AD, I reckon you'll need to ring them up.
However, there are a lot of secondary market dealers that have pristine pieces with and without papers, etc. |

these are differnt types of watches. If i had to get one, i would get the
gmt2c. It is a modern watch with a cult like following. The SD on the other hand, I find the hoopla about it is way bigger than when it comes to selling it. |

You can't get more classic, next to a Sub, then an SD. It is/was the ultimate Rolex diver before the DSSD. I love it because it's a little thicker, built like a tank, and they are more rare to see in the wild then a Submariner. The no cyclops is also awesome. The watch is just a spectacular piece, which is why there is a "cult" following for them.
You can get a BNIB GMT any day, but you can't find SDs being sold new, and the price seems to be steadily rising on them. I'm biased cause I own a SD, but there's a reason why do many people want them.
