Very nice piece! In greece u pay much more than the retail price in steel daytona cause there is a waiting list.

Thank you guys for your kind comments!

What a disaster!
It's the second day and my girlfriend already grabbed the Daytona before she went to work...

Goodbye Daytona

Congrats on the short time that you got to wear it

I think you'll have to put an order in for another

Beautiful, congratulations! I'm sure that the question which is in everyone's mind and is not being asked (and which of course you don't have to answer) is how much did you have to pay over list?

That's great! I had heard that Rolex dealers can no longer sell watches at inflated prices. Can anyone here verify?
