There's me thinking that you were taking arrival of a new BF SS Daytona and now it seems that a green glass Milgauss is on the way.

Are you sure that you are not subjecting your dealers to some "do my bidding" gas?

That would be quite unethical yet brilliant if so.

Gongrats Chris !!!
My thoughts are AD's use their SS Daytonas to promote relationships with customers they want to keep or customers they feel will be a good customer over the coming years. It goes to show that if you do the legwork and promote yourself to the AD these items can be found at MRSP. It does however seem to be easier to achieve this outside the US. I was able to get a SS WF Daytona @ MRSP by building a good relationship with an AD over a short period of time.
But 3 in such a short period of time is quite remarkable. Congratulations again.
I look forward to seeing which ones have the plastics removed and become a regular sight on your wrist and which ones move on. Who knows by Christmas you might have 10 to choose from :)
Im staying tuned to this channel to see what happens :)
Im off on Holidays for a week to the Amalfi Coast Italy with my girlfriend and 2 yo daughter. Look forward to wading thru lots of new threads from you guys when im back.

I agree, it's pretty incredible to be able to get your hands on so many SS Daytonas for list price. Congratulations !

However, I wouldn't say it's universally easier to achieve this outside the US - it's actually worse in Australia I think.

After more than a year of searching, I finally had the choice of BNIB Z Series White face and a mint LBNIB D series Black face. Neither of them were anywhere near list price. Think $US12K.

It was an agonising decision, but I went with the black face. I preferred the white face in photos but not in real life.

How many ADs do you have in Aus ? If I am correct its one in Perth,one in Adelaide.Sydney,I dont know.

Now take my example here,If I count correctly,we have 12 in a 100km radius.Perhaps this explains it better.

Yep, just 2 ADs in my city. So it certainly does explain it much better

Possible Answer

Press Release
International Rugby Board (IRB) Rugby World Cup 2007
Following complaints to the IRB about the All Blacks being allowed to motivate themselves by performing the ‘Haka’ before their games,
other nations were asked to suggest pre-match rituals of their own. The IRB Rugby World Cup 2007 Organizing Committee has now agreed
to the following pre-match displays:
1) The England team will chat about the weather, wave hankies in the air and attach bells to their ankles before moaning about
how they invented the game and gave it to the world, but no one appreciates them.
2) The Scotland team will chant “You lookin’ at me Jimmy?” before each of them smash a bottle of beer over their opponents’ heads.
3) The Ireland team will split into two, with the Southern half performing a Riverdance, while the Northerners march the Traditional
route from their dressing room to the pitch, via their opponents dressing room.
4) Unfortunately the Committee was unable to accept the Welsh proposal to form a choir and sing Tom Jones’ “It’s Not Unusual”.
5) Argentina will unexpectedly invade a small part of opposition territory, claim it as their own “Las In-Goals-Areas” and have to be
forcibly removed by the match stewards.
6) Two members of the South African team will claim to be more important than the other 13 whom they will imprison between
the posts. These two will then go about selecting the best parts of the pitch to settle on and claim that they have been there for centuries.
7) The Americans will not attend until almost full time. In future years they will amend the records to show that they were in fact
the most important team in the tournament and Hollywood will make a blockbuster fi lm called ‘Saving Flanker Ryan’.
8) Five of the Canadian team will sing La Marseillaise and hold the rest of the team to ransom.
9) The Italian team will arrive in Armani gear, sexually harass the female offi cials and then prepare pasta dishes, which they will fl og
to the crowd for a fortune.
10) The Japanese will shock fans buy demonstrating how to capture a whale for scientifi c research buy harpooning an opposition prop.
11) The French won’t have a pre-match display and will simply hide in fear in the dressing room for the whole match.
12) The Australians will have a BBQ on their side of the fi eld and invite the opposition over before the game. The food and alcohol
will be in abundance and by the start of the game no-one will remember what they came to the stadium for. After some
streaking, the singing of dirty songs and the occasional chunder everyone will go home thoroughly convinced it was a bloody
good night.
13) The Moroccan team will quietly pray during the fi rst half and then launch suicide attacks against the opposition after the break.
Unfortunately, this strategy works well for the fi rst game only, after which Morocco is forced to withdraw from the Rugby World
Cup due to lack of players.
14) Samoa will prepare a huge feast in the middle of the pitch by digging a large hole and fi lling it with burning embers. They invite
the opposition over by saying, “We’d like to have you for dinner”. It’s only when the opposition get to the pit that they realize
there is no meat and that they are the dinner!
Hopefully, with these policies now in place, further problems is this area of the game should cease to exists.

Syd Miller
