Where in LA are these stores? I will be out there in 2 weeks so I can have a look!

I travel for work and so far I have only seen an exhibition YG Daytona on OF at the AD in FRA, but was not able to try it on due to time. I have asked at other ADs as well but they just say sorry, nothing to even to try on, which does make sense since I am just walking off the street.

I know I will have to go gray if I want this watch. I am fine with buying from a trusted dealer, but feel weird shelling out ~45k USD w/o trying on the watch beforehand.

Any recommendations in the area would be appreciated!

Sounds like you want to robe someone

S Hill st between 6th and 7th st in the east side of the street. This window display store is part of a plaza that has 3 dealers inside. Make sure to see a small dealer with very good watches toward the middle on the very left of the big room when you go inside.

to give everyone an update:

Went to a bunch of dealers in downtown LA.
Was able to try on the RG with sunburst dial 2020. The dealer wanted ~45k.
Another dealer had the RG with chocolate dial but wanted ~65k (haha). He also had the WG model ~55k (also haha)


Decided I liked the 116519LN best as I wanted something to wear almost daily that's under the radar, so flew out to one of the TRF sellers, tried it on and bought it.

It was not fun paying grey prices, but I did pay market. As someone with no AD relationship, I am ok with that. Its not like you can walk into a Ford dealer and get a gt40 for retail, so why should I/we expect the same for other in demand items.
