How did you get your white dial 116500?

[Fserial]

Now that 116500 is discontinued, wondering how many of those still holding on to their white dial 116500 managed to get it through AD vs how many went grey.

[BNA/LION]

Got from AD

[Spoonage]

AD. Waited only 3 months for a White dial.

Grey … didn’t think was ever going to happen with AD, was more than happy to go grey ..

[Eyas]

AD - waited 12 months for a 116520 then about 3 years for the 116500. Wasn't sure they would come through on the second one but they did get me a couple of sports Pateks while I was waiting so I kept the faith and they came through in the end.

Got my first via AD by paying 2k over MSRP. Got the next several grey. Down to a black dial bought grey.

[Spartacus]

AD: 3 year wait, long relationship, had purchased Breitling, Tudor, IWC, and some other stuff. It was a brutal wait, was offered black dial a few times.

Scored through AD, bundled with a Day-Date, GMT, and prepaid in full for all three up front, easy peasy!!

I purchased my SS Black and White Dial Daytona-C's from DavidSW back before everything went super high on the pricing. When the watches were introduced in 2016 my AD told me I was second on the list for the white dial, which I had requested. I told them to take my name off the list as I am the type of person who will buy/sell/trade a watch in a heartbeat and I did not want to estrange myself from them when I moved the watch. They complied and no issues. I stay away from anything from my AD that could cause me problems. I also just know myself and my preferences. I also sold the Daytona-C's, as usual, once I was over them.

Bought from AD in 2019. Waited 3-4 months from first asking.

Went grey, just today! Was comparing between the 126500 and 116500 Panda and although I prefer newer watches, the older series was better looking

It was my good fortune to have received mine from the authorized dealer. After I made my request for the watch, I received it approximately seven months later.

Randy- the only TRF’er to ever successfully “bundle” a panda and an SS Pepsi in the same transaction LOL. Really did the AD a favor there

For me I’d answer this acquisition question but the statute of limitations hasn’t run out yet

[Big Tex Rolex]

I haven’t … year 3.5 in waiting.

I was however, offered / and bought the Black Dial 116500, 3 months after buying a diamond ring for my girlfriend.

I guess I need to go buy those diamond earrings, and the diamond bracelet, if I want the White !!

wow..dont think ive heard this one before

[rolesor2022]

Not many will admit it, but i guarantee most people bought their SS Daytona grey market. The majority who voted AD are liars

[skipstar]

I posted about back in 2021, my AD came through on my 50th birthday.

[mph476]

AD came through after being allocated a batman on jubilee with no purchase history and then dealer lost their Rolex license. They were told they were too small of a dealer :( If you can find a sales rep that isn't a complete a** its all about making friends and making yourself known.

Or maybe not... why do you need to accuse someone without evidence? I got from AD and I feel bad about your comment. Sorry for being direct.

[Sephiroth]

Waited 2 years for the AD, saw 12 series leak and promptly bought 11 series white from a grey. No regrets whatsoever.

[train-time]

My AD came through for me for both versions. They charged me $20k (cash) plus a year old 126610LN for a new black dial, then I traded the black dial in (sized, but not worn) plus $5k additional a few months later for the white dial version. Both 11 series a couple years ago.

[SS Oyster]

AD - got on list in 2010 for 116520, but got 116500 13 years later.
