Absolutely. This is how we as consumers vote in this great country of ours with our $$$$. Good luck Seth. Enjoy your posts.

There are plenty available.

The market for the Daytona as it exists is as much to blame as Rolex...we are the market.

I waited 1 week

Am I missing something here about the long waiting lists?

If Rolex is restricting supply, surely the only ones who benefit are Grey Sellers and whoever supplies them with the watch? Certainly not Rolex, nor genuine WIS.

If Rolex increased production they would make more income and the Grey dealers less and those who genuinely want the watch, not just to flip it, would get it sooner

Rolex is making a gang of cash on these things.
For an AD to receive the D500, they have to take a whole box of DateJusts, PM models, etc.

If only it were socially acceptable to put an aftermarket ceramic bezel on your existing Daytona.........

Same can be said with Yeezys and certain Jordans (if you're into sneakers). It's part of the game, and it doesn't get old.

A one to two year wait is bearable, but eight years?! I think they have misjudged their clientele if they think we will happily wait that long.

OP, great argument. Good points and I agree with you but this is the way rolex have always been. Controlling the supply for some models like the SS Daytona for many years now.... I feel your frustration..

I think the lists are legitimate. A lot of people who have money and buy a lot of Rolex want the Daytona and that is the problem. The ADs I talk to say they cannot get the watch period. One or two a year makes for a long list.
