Average Wait time for a 116500 Daytona?

I have been on a list at my dealer for 1 year now. Have bought 3 watches from them in that same period. Keeps telling me that the Owners keep taking the stock of 116500 when they come in. Just curious to gauge what wait time folks are experiencing?

Same for me, held hostage, I don't see any way around it. I get they play favorites and there is always a bigger fish. But - I figure that buys them a year, now it's really starting to bug me. I just don't see how whining helps the situation.

There is no average. You need an honest AD or just a great relationship. In my opinion many are being sold above list out the back whether Rolex likes it or not.

Onwers taking the stock

what so they can sell them privately over MSRP. As someone said, you need an honest AD.

I waited around 10 months for my white dial. Still waiting for my black dial. My AD wants to fill other people's orders before they sell me a second one. I can understand that.
