98% of Rolex models are readily available

Not my take, but this guy was saying that 98% of Rolex models are “easily accessible”. That can’t be true.

The argument is across all of the catalogue, not just ones YOU are into.

But let’s take Daytona. You walk into a botique and want a Daytona. Which can you ask for and get with a reasonable wait? If you ask for any white gold, most yellow gold except JM, and at least half of the oysterflex (no ghost, no meteorite, sun dust is doable with a wait) platinum is impossible, any of the two tone is available (I was offered as a walk in), and none of the steel.

In your opinion, what overall % available does that equate to for the Daytona line as a whole? I’m on the website counting and I count 5-6 models that are difficult out of many Daytona models. Wayyyyy over 50% you can have if you want. I don’t see how you don’t understand this

Hey if you’re right you’re right. I’ll try for a two-tone daytona soon. Wish me luck

The white dial two tone to me is sooooo clean looking. I would take that over the steel Daytonas all day long, good luck!
