Which Is More of a Challenge?

Which do you believe is hard to find right now, a SS Daytona or Milgauss GV? The answer may be different in different parts of the globe, I know. Please vote!

It's tough to say because I hardly see these two watches as it is.

I would probably say the GV because for every 2 or 3 Daytonas that someone is selling in the gray market, you see a GV.

Then again, there are more of a supply of Daytonas out there than the GV.

Can not get either in Western Canada (I don't know about Eastern, but I'd assume the same).

However, the SS Daytona is much more sought after. Most people don't even know what a Milgauss is.

While the Daytonas were once scarce my local AD has no problem stocking them now. Last week my AD had a SS/black and a SS/white, although I have to say I have only once seen a Milgauss in his case, but I believe its more of a he can't move it kinda thing and not that he can't get one. Hes also told me he hasn't moved any of the four DSSDs he has gotten in, he says people are still asking for the 16600 and don't seem to keen on the DSSD because of the massive size of the thing. I did notice he didn't have one 16610 in stock.

My AD offered me both the GV and SS daytona but declined at the time. However, I would have to say the GV is a little harder to find since you still do see quite a few new daytonas being brought home and sold on the forums.

I see them both often sitting at local AD's, I think it all depends on which part of the globe your at.

Where I am the waiting list is 8-9 years on a SS Daytona, as opposed to a much shorter list for a GV. Saying that, I know there are more Daytonas passing through ADs than GVs at the moment, so I think both are pretty hard to get hold of.

Both easily available here.

Seriously?
I could probably score another SS Daytona from my local AD but the GV would be a long wait.
