Never thought I would say this about a Rolex (other than OP explorer) but this is a gorgeous watch. Looks like a strap monster too! Wear it in good health. I personally would have gone for the two tone too.
Just Picked-Up a Two-Tone Daytona / Good AD Visit
I had been watching the grey market prices for two-tone 116503 Daytonas and noticed that they were trading for not much over retail. In some cases, after factoring in sales taxes at retail, the grey market price was lower.
I asked my AD if they get in many two-tone models. They said they did, but they were probably the least requested models from their customers, so I added myself to their waitlist.
A little under 2 months later, I get the call and picked up this one:

While I was there, I got to try on a 40mm white gold day-date with a slate dial. It wasn't in the case, but it was available. When I was finishing up, a guy picked up a root beer GMT, so it does appear that watches are making it to the AD. It just looks like most are pre-sold.
