The market now and the market in the past is very different already.
No such things as lobang one and R/S won't last one unless you buy every now and then. U like something - u just have to pay premium.

If not go into the shop and try your luck. This is the market now. Let me share with u my minion experience:

1 Jan 2015 - I got my GMT with ~9% discount local AD, family bought 116613 15% discount
Same year - Family bought Full gold Sky Dweller and I bought another explorer 1 sort of become VIP.
2016 - Recommend few friends to the SA whom bought like 3 watches, was offered a Daytona 116520 black at $16k but decided to skip because I cant get over the feel of paying premium (what a mistake haha)
2017 - Family got a datejust (some discount) and a Batman (no discount) at $13.5k. Still manage to recommend 1-2 friend to buy. Asked to put on waitlist for ceramic daytona, hulk, sky dweller blue but never ever got a call. For some reason - sports model became rare.
2018 - Asked if can get a 116515ln, SA says she has yet to have an opportunity to sell this piece (dunno real or fake). In the end I gotfrom Grey.

Now i consider myself no more VIP, no more lobang, can only search in carousell. You dont buy consistently, really forget about getting a sports model. Its real. I believe some forumers here still have the connection as they are frequent buyers - consider yourself lucky to tap on those connections.

Agree totally on the point of if you like something, then sometimes you have to pay a premium to get it.

But it also depends on the threshold lah. I got my Sub Date at a premium too.

I doubt Daytona steel was ever 13k.
I asked before at Hilton rolex. 16k retail.
