Tried on a Daytona C in Prague
Very sharp. Black face. Since I am from the US price is $11,700 without VAT. Trouble is that she said watch was spoken for and would not let me purchase it.
Today is my 60th birthday and would have love to been able to bring it home.

Happy Bday! Are you flying back via Zurich or Frankfurt? If so, check out the ADs there.

Started out in Berlin and leaving from Vienna in a week. My wife is encouraging me to pick something up but I honestly can't think of something I really want. I did see the new TT DJ 40 but I already have the SS DJII that I like and don't wear much more than once every couple of weeks. Stop by PP looking for a 5711. Price would also be favorable but long wait.
Have been wearing this and getting a bunch of positive comments from sales folks in the AD's. Most new what the Fiddy is.

Most certainly. Loved the black on black. If I was to get one, I now know I would keep my white face 116520.

Very happy birthday! Congratulations on the beautiful 127, as well.
You mentioned that you will be spending some time in Vienna. If you have an opportunity, try to make time to visit several wonderful Boutiques and watch stores (modern as well as vintage) there.
They are all very conveniently located in the very centrum if the City (Am Graben, Karntner Strasse, etc). I am sure you will enjoy :-).

Vienna dealer near the cathedral (not bucherer) was very helpful. Let me try on both C's and also brought out the new yacht master

Daytona's not for sale though and waiting list too long to join
