What is actually even MORE hilarious is that you can find wild penguins in Africa. There is a population of penguins in a certain part of coastal South Africa.

So, you have a MUCH greater chance of seeing a penguin in Africa than finding a SSc Daytona in Europe (and getting a discount on one).

Better chance at getting struck by lightning, twice times. Daytona c and a discount, no way.

Look forward to the unicorn pictures

I get so many of these requests from friends or their friends asking the same question about the UK.

It's gotten boring over the years replying to them.....

I’m actually happy that the OP opened the account and posted, even if it was trolling or not. That VintageVagabound response was a classic, hilarious and, I’ve read it multiple times with same results. VintageVagabound Way to go buddy

Hey - that happened to me last week. Damn unicorns. I then wished for a Daytona C, a Hulk and a BLNR to be available at my AD for a discount. He said he can perform miracles, but not those. I had to settle for World Peace, $100M, and now I'm married to Kim Kardashian.

全新的 daytona 不銹鋼,不可能。

Brand new Daytona stainless steel, impossible.

AD’s in Palermo are known to be bad businessmen, they will pay you money if they can get rid of their Daytona.
The bigger your order the more money they will give you. . .
Do you know that the Italians made the Daytona trendy, that was 35 years ago, when no one wanted this watch.
Rolex Geneva marketing team studies the Italian market as it indicates the global trend of their watches.
These guys know watches and Rolex in particular and Daytona specifically.
And you think you will get a Daytona like this? And discounted also? Why would they do that to you when they have a waiting list of many years?
Any thoughts?

Make them an offer they can't refuse, and you'll get the Daytona for free.

Hmmm, nice one...
Our guy should be from Corleone though.
Depends what the AD finds in his bed in the morning...
There might be a chance here.
