Thanks for the comments folks.

Will try and take some pictures tonight when I get in from work.

Great story & congrats on a great watch!

BarkMaster · 13 July 2009, 10:21 PM

Great timing!!

From what I've read, this happens a lot with organ transplants. The wairing list should just be considered a "wish list" and you shouldn't leave it at that. Work the other angles and hope for some good timing!

Great story. As we say up here in t' grim North :"Shy bairns get nowt." If you don't ask, you never get.

Cannot wait for the picture.

DINGER · 15 July 2009, 12:01 AM

As an initial point, I must apologise for the poor quality of these pictures. It was late and dark when I got in last night and I still haven't fully worked out the flash settings on my camera (despite having it about 3 years, lol).

Only had time to take a few quick pictures

and now tucked up in bed with my GMT II C........yes it's a watch winder, but also doubles as a nice display case, don't hate me

Will have to try and work out how to do some nice close up pics, any advice on so doing will be very much appreciated although please note I only have a Sony Cyber-shot 7.2 digital camera.

Nice when it happens .... even better when you can seize the opportunity.

Congratulations and enjoy

Not to pee on the party but I see SS DAYTONAS listed here all the time.

What is the list price for a DAYTONA in the U.K.?

What is the list price for a DAYTONA in the U.S.?

Nice watch by the way !

DINGER · 15 July 2009, 04:20 AM

List price in the UK is £6,170.00, don't know about the US.

Only other places I'd seen Daytona's for sale were grey dealers and they were circa £1400 above the AD list price.

nice story and big congrats to you

..you will not regret pulling the trigger on this fine watch...i did not!

..enjoy!!!

Danwealth · 15 July 2009, 07:34 PM

Very nice watch

here in Shanghai, almost all big ADs have SS Daytona readily available. Most of the Filthy rich chinese businessmen who wear Rolex, Jaeger and other luxury watches don't even know what is a Daytona or Deepsea
