So im back from Geneva..

Went into the AD in Geneva central opposite Cartier

They put me on the reserve list for the SS Daytona black face where they said the waiting list was 18 months. Where as its 10 years in the UK!!!

Still no luck on the sub date. None in stock in geneva AD or at geneva airport!!

Look in the UK SS stock thread. I am certain someone said an AD had one in stock the other day

Yep the UK has gone crazy.
ADs in the UK seem to be constantly smug and can laugh in the face of SS discounts. Supply doesn't nearly match demand so they can hold out for the "right buyer". (Local, full RRP, possible future business)

Whilst it's exciting to see what comes out of Baselworld, I'm expecting a few more models that will be virtually unobtainable to most in the UK.

Plenty subs with or without dates in Johannesburg AD windows.

Book a flight and come down return, will be cheaper too ;)

So it is safe to say that when I go to UK this summer I won't find a DaytonaC in the case to tempt me to buy before my one here in the US comes in?
