It is just increasingly more difficult to get one .
I have just picked up mine on August 28 2014, I do consider myself a fairly good client of our AD so after a few months wait I just have got one.
I was told by the owner I am only the fourth person to get one in our city ( the same owner owns all Rolex AD's here,) and one of his clients flown in from other country.
So, there are only 3 "Batmans" in a city of 1.2M people, and only 4 of them the AD got in aprox 18 months since they were introduced.
The average works to about one watch in every 4-5 months.
P.S. I was also told by him on Sept.04 that SS Daytonas are again impossible to get, he did not received one in last 5 months.
Maybe it is the end of production for 116520????
New SS Daytona in 2015???
If you are interested in buying a difficult to get watch- how I do it, is I give my AD a couple of K deposit and just wait a few months to receive it.
It has always worked for me, and I have got a few watches this way.
All the best, Tom.

I think that it is fairly safe to say the Datejust is the best selling Rolex of all time. As the best selling Rolex in USA, China (mainland) and in Europe this must be also true to the rest of the world. Now saying that, I think there is a difference betw...
I asked to see one at the 'Rolex Boutique' in Century City (Los Angeles)

and they had one in the back. I then asked to purchase one from my AD, and I've been waiting weeks for it. He cannot explain the delay in receiving his order for it, which had been placed before my request to purchase. I'm not suggesting it has been disco...
Finally arrived at the dealer.

I will get it next week. I was beginning to become paranoid that shipping might have been delayed for a price increase! Best, CaliforniaJed

The first one was taken in July in the Arctic Circle, way above Parallel 71... It is the perfect Rolex, IMO. It has everything one can ask from a Rolex. ...
