Christmas shopping side trip to the AD
I was out Christmas shopping today for my wife and just for fun I stopped in at an AD to see what they have and try on a few new watches. I got to check out a Milgausse GV , a Sea Dweller and a Deep Sea Sea Dweller (huge). The sales guy was knowledgable and thanks to TRF I was able to hold my own in Rolex talk.
He tried hard to encourage me to buy the Sea Dweller because it's his last one (brand new) and also told me he has a white face SS Daytona in the safe available if the folks on the list decline. I then went farther down the case to look at a TT midsize date-just with black MOP dial and smooth bezel for my wife. She's not getting it this year but it's still fun just to look. I've read so much about these watches here and elsewhere and have enjoyed you all getting them and today I got to see them for myself.

It'll be interesting to find out if someone on the list picks up the SS Daytona. Keep us posted if you can Bill.

Probably, but the premiums are gone in the grey market.
