So much for "the Next Daytona"

I should go to the mall today and tell the AD guy that every swinging johnson on the internet now has a DSSD.

Yeah, but as heavy as the DSSD is you might rip the member off in the process.

I never suspected it to be a "limited edition." They make 'em to sell 'em and they'll do just fine. I do think that the size, particularly the thickness, will be the only factor that turns some people to other models.

My Ad is still under the impression that in the UK it will be really hard to find.

I feel sorry for the guys who paid the big premiums to be the first....like the GV owners...man what a sting that must be!!!!

Well, SS Subs and GMT's are hard to find in the UK.

They seem to be coming in quickly, there is no reason to think that they will be harder to find than a Seadweller was.

Wife did not come home for a month and I never noticed; just had to buy new underware. So with that said, when did you add the avatar art?

The Daytona took years to come to its fame. It is up to Rolex. If they only ship 2-3 DSSD's to each AD per year... The grey market will keep the price up. Time will tell. I personally think the Daytona is a small watch and prefer at least a Sub sized watch. THe DSSD is a conversation piece. It calls for your attention. I seldom get any complements on my Sub or GMT... People see them everyday where I live.... I love each watch...but, yawn...... I get complements 10 to 1 on my Breitling. Go figure....
