10% off a Daytona !!!!,

Recently ventured into a European watch store, having seen a Hulk in the window & was gagging to try one on for size, whilst there the shop owner / manager told me they also had a DSSD & both Black & White dial stainless steel Daytona's & she could do me 10% on the Daytona's or 15% on the Hulk....not too up on prices in the euro zone but after discounts she quoted me €9000 for a Daytona or €5,200 for the Hulk....Daytona seemed a bit rich all the same

As Daytona watches climb over $11,000USD, 10% still will cost over $10k once tax is added in.

Even though it's an $1100 discount, you still have the prospect of digging in your wallet for over $10,000.

Not enough to sway me.

I don't think this is a good deal on SS Daytona. I was quoted at a Rolex AD in Singapore US$13,500 and that's with the 7% discount.

What would these prices equate to in US$ after the stated discount?

9000 Euro is actually £8000, so still £1000 higher than the official UK MRSP!!

I think they're trying to pull a fast one

It's not an AD but they've been there for the past 4 years that I know of, APs, Breitling, and Ulysse's all in the window..I worked it out on roughly £4500 UK GBP for the Hulk which is a terrific saving

But it could be. Daytona's list price in Brazil is around 15k USD

A sub-C costs 6300€ and a discount is nearly impossible to obtain.

Agree , if you can even find the LV - Austria , at least Vienna , has none.....

Discount ? A short smile followed by a polite "Nein".
