I was in Christopher's in Pawleys Island SC a few days ago and they had several SS and TT Daytonas in the showcase if you are looking for one from the AD. They said they expected a Skydweller the first of March. They like most ADs ship out of state with no sales tax.

JCirillo · 11 January 2013, 09:48 PM

I have seen a couple at AD in Austin, am really considering a black dial SS, now that they can be had without winning the get the call from AD lottery.
Just avoid Tourneau, they still think 6 year old no paper SS Daytonas are worth $16k.

AnnemarieGirl · 11 January 2013, 10:05 PM

Thanks for the info.

xjeeunitx · 11 January 2013, 10:56 PM

You can easily find SS Daytonas everywhere.

thomaspp · 12 January 2013, 12:07 AM

Agree that there are no shortages of Ds. They are plentiful now...

Gaijin · 12 January 2013, 12:09 AM

There have always been Daytonas in the window or display case just not SS ones.

financeman · 12 January 2013, 12:14 AM

Yeah, the availability of the daytona's is loosening up. I don't know if Rolex is manufacturing more or people aren't buying them as quick now but they seem to be sitting at some AD's for a little while

Is it just me or are those all either gold or TT models? I don't see any SS there.

Brandon(phila) · 12 January 2013, 12:37 AM

After the last price increase...this is the first time I see the sellers on the forums offering BNIB for less than retail. I think once it hit the 10K mark...they became easier to get, at least for those who know (us). Maybe the average semi WIS still think it's hard to get and will pay retail +.

In my area (Philly and burbs) they don't display in the case and act like there is still a waiting list. One salesperson even told me they can get them but only for really good customers.

That's true. That pic shows only gold or TT models, but is what I had on hand. I don't think ADs necessarily have an abundance of SS models, but in general I have seen more SS Ds all around in the pre-owned/one off sellers market as of late.

Sam Philip · 12 January 2013, 12:44 AM

Some grey dealers in the UK still charge £1k over MSRP for BNIB SS Daytona

These are all precious metal Daytona... none are pure SS.

KBM · 12 January 2013, 02:47 AM

I'm sure a quick e-mail to one of the sellers here would get anyone a nice BNIB SS Daytona...

Solo118 · 12 January 2013, 02:53 AM

Dont believe the hype... lots of SS on the market. I would no way pay over MSRP even in its heyday

Speeder757 · 12 January 2013, 03:23 AM

Is a discount at an AD possible?

Is this a sign that Rolex are changing this Daytona model for a new bigger 2013 version. Makes you think doesnt it

That looks exactly like every AD... there are tons of Daytona's as long as you don't want one is SS. FYI - There has never been a shortage of TT or gold Daytonas.

Nope, not at all.

Every dealer I have ever been to has had a case full of Daytona's. And they are all precious metals.

Not quite correct. I've just checked the tree outside my house, no Daytona.

Daytonas ALWAYS available in the vast majority of ADs' windows going right back to the dawn of time (we'll sort of

).

Just always YG, WG or TT. Seldom a SS.

Monte Cristo · 12 January 2013, 05:38 AM

I go to my 3 favourite ADs every few months and they always have a great selection of Daytonas on display, but never the SS model.

Not saying they don't have them possibly stashed in the back, but just not on display.

jagwap · 12 January 2013, 06:01 AM

There's a SS white in the window in the Venice AD right now. I've seen them in China too. The waiting is over.

Time for the 42mm ceramic SS...

alubin · 12 January 2013, 06:39 AM

I have seen them everywhere in nyc, but was recently at rolex (Wempe i guess) on 5th avenue trying on a sky-dweller and the gentleman i was speaking to said that there was really no problem getting them. Might have to wait a week or so if they didn't have it in stock but nothing like it was five years ago.

Time Exposure · 12 January 2013, 06:54 AM

Saw a white dial Daytona in the case at Bailey, Banks and Biddle in Pleasanton, Ca last week. Offered at retail, if $11,750 is the current retail. Don't know if its still there.

alanbass · 12 January 2013, 07:03 AM

Two weeks ago I was down in St. Thomas and they had the ss black dial with a $12000 tag plus offered me 5% discount. I ended up going with the new 44mm DSSD instead. Should have purchased both.

myopiccoog · 12 January 2013, 07:23 AM

Just bought a white dial 15% back from and AD for a friend.

Are you sure they were SS or WG? An AD having "several" SS Daytona's would be beyond unusual

ChrashM · 12 January 2013, 09:51 AM

My AD has never had a SS in the case. Now they do. I suspect the last price increase has made some buyers think twice. Bought mine long before the increase and can tell you I would think twice before paying what they are asking now. My Exp II 42 pre-price increase has been worth every penny.
