Little Help Please

I am being offered BNIB SS white face Daytona at MSRP. I saw the watch and found out that even it is BNIB but it's a D serial. Here I stop and wander about it .
Therefore the question: If the D serial had the new blue spring in it? If not, how much of differents will there be in between this D and other newer ones.

Well, since I will be paying full MSRP for it, should I take it? Or wait for the next one...

I need to let him know before end of Friday.. HELP !!!

Guys, you have to understand that IF I did not want it, it will just go to the next guy on the list.

Actually, he's been very nice to me... I was the first he called and I know he has at least 7 guys before me that he could have called. Somehow he just likes me better..

So yea yea... I shouldn't be an a$$ and should just take it right?

Or you get it and sell it to a member here for $500 or $1,000 more than you paid for it. Winners all around.

I say go for it! You will likely regret it if you dont.

And yes, a D series Daytona would have the blue hairspring in the movement.

Thanks, I care more about the blue spring than "D". Just want to have some kind of confirmation about this.

Now maybe someone wants to buy my 1 month old SS GMT II ceramic....

But how come you can get a BNIB "D" series??

I mean where are you getting it from? An AD?

Has it been lying around there at the AD for so long??

I think you should take it, but if not...I'm in Dallas and wouldn't mind taking your place.

Take it....don't lose the opportunity. You can easily get a couple K more by immediately flipping it. It's like someone offering you $2-3K for free.

I was thinking the same thing. If these watches are so in demand why are there D series lying around somewhere.
