Hi folks
Stumbled across this site last week and havent stopped reading it since, I didnt realise there was so much I didnt know!

Ive got a SS Date 15000 ive owned for 18 years and currently got my £500 deposit sat with a couple of ADs waiting for a SS Daytona (At one AD there is 9 people on the list and I was told to expect to wait 5 years). I have heard since that this particular AD sells them at £500-£1000 over RRP on the black market, so I may have to wait alot longer!!

I will be in Vegas this weekend and may treat myself to a TT Sub or TT YM whilst I wait for the Daytona, do any of you guys know what they retail at over there (With the current exchange rate thought i may be able to get a good deal), and any particular stores you would recommend.

Cheers

Craig

Welcome to TRF, Craig!

The MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) of the SS Daytona ref. 116520 is US $ 7,900 in the USA.

Yesterday I got the call from my AD that the SS Daytona I had ordered on the 26th. of April this year had arrived.

The MSRP in Denmark is about 9,300 US due to high taxed and VAT, so if you can get the SS Daytona in the States, DO go for it!
