Whats the deal with the SS Datona?

Ive just called my AD,here,and they have just received a SS Daytona (white dial) with a very good price(something like u$$11.000)...I asked a bout a black dial ,and they said its coming,also...
The price seemed great,cause ,normally a sub date would cost something around u$$7.000...
It seems that between currency exchange and AD profits,its better to buy a Daytone than a Sub here.Weird,huh?
...and another question,is it hard to find a SS Daytona abroad?Ive just called the first AD here,and they said "yes,we have it!'
Please,enlighten me on the SS Daytone issue...
Thanks once again...
Daniel

The SS Daytonas are normally very hard to get, also in Europe. Waiting lists are typically 3 years. But they're only tough to get at MSRP.

11,000 US $ is not a good price since MSRP is 9,200 US $.

The supply seems to be VERY tight at most AD's. More people want one that there are watches to go around.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I thought the MSRP is USD7900?

Tax and every all was $8400 for mine...now it's close to $10k.

759 bucks for tax alone...that is 5 good Seikos.
