A year ago I will pay premium and I did.

I won't for this economy, my AD told me he had 5 SS Daytona last week. If you want one wait for a few months , I think you can get it with discount.

He tries to sell me at MSRP no tax, but I told him I might be interested if it 20% discount .... but now I won't even consider .... there are so many things on discount now cars, houses and etc ......

But why wait if you can get it now and put a smile on your face every time you wear it = priceless

No, I would at a 10-15% discount off of list, and they would probably accept the offer the way the economy is now...

Walked in today at one of the AD here in Downtown San Francisco. I ask the salesperson if they have a SS Daytona. He said yes as a matter of fact, we have two. But you have to be an existing customer and spend over $100K for them to sell it to you.

1. For VIP
2. strong connection with a vip
3. mostly Z, M series and some V
4. the AD's only have atleast 5 in stock
5. The ss daytona is still one of the must have rolex.

but i have one now so i won't
XX2!!!

the "$^$%^#%**&^%#@!@#$@$#@$$#^$&%" economy yes is a global problem...but good luck finding a new daytona outside the U.S. under list, it might exist....lol, all i can do is wish u the best of luck in that quest.....however, for msrp they are more easily available which is true, and in many countries the even do charge a tiny premium, even if its 100$....
