Icon20 Daytona 2 stage price Increase

Hi all

yes its bad enough with the announcment of a 12.5% price increase, the daytona in the Uk will have 2 price increases, one from 1st oct 08 and the 2 from November 2008

firstly £ 5450
secondly £ 5720 approx

the second increase is because the clasp system on the daytona is changing and will be the same as the GMT 2 ceramic as the new stock starts to come through in neovember and december

Decision time which one do you go for?

Yeah, that totally sounds like a good justification for a second price increase. Personally I like the current clasp better.

Can I ask a stupid question? What's the difference between the current Daytona and GMT clasp?

the difference between the clasps is the current model has like a button hole in the middle of the clasp and wen you close the bracelet it snaps into place, where as the Gmt clasp is like a catch system and clips down, wish i has some pics to show you

hi guys

i can back mark up with this i was also told three weeks ago about a two stage increase on daytona as soon as the updated clasp version comes through the price goes up again. you have to admire rolex everything else in the world is going down value. so they put thier prices up go figure!

regards sean (ps keep up the good work mark give us all the info you can)
