I haven't heard anything in the American Southwest yet on the SS Daytona and the GV Milgauss. Im guessing your best bet will be on the black and white dialed Milgauss.

In London, no stock available, no discounts available, most would be happy to pay list price, I can only go by London though, in the US, discounts can and have been had.

GV not as hard to get as it once was, go on a list at Ernest Jones, get a Signet Group card, and when it comes in you'll get 10% off

I know several AD's who will offer up discounts on the GV. As for the SS Daytona, I know of only 1 that has offered me a discount.

ADs in Japan will not give a discount. We have about 10X Grey dealers to ADs. Most are much bigger than ADs.

Grey Dealer discounts:

GV = selling at a premium $6,500
Milgauss Black = Discounted $4,500
Milgauss White = Discounted $4,000 to $4,200
Daytona Black = $11,000 (MSRP $9,900)
Daytona White + $10,000 (MSRP $9,900)

No chance on a Daytona, unlikely on a GV. Both are still commanding a premium on the grey market, if you can get one at list, you should be happy.

I've never enquired about GV's, but I have had two SS Daytona's from Ernest Jones, and used my signet card, waits weren't ridiculous, 2nd one was less than a year.

Harvey, I have always found the thrill of the chase the best bit...With them becoming less and less valuable to grey dealers, I am sure they'll appear more regularly.
