The only way to get a SS Daytona here in the UK is to buy from an unauthorised dealer and with an extra £1000 on top of the MSRP. The only reason this one was available is because the AD had it for someone on a waiting list that never turned up (hence his not wanting a deposit).

Generally speaking, AD's in the UK do not discount at all. Even on all gold Day Dates. The only way to get a cheaper price around here is to take a ferry to the Guernsey or Jersey Islands and get it VAT free but there is only one dealer on each island and the stock is subsequently appalling.

kctt · 8 December 2010, 08:26 PM

I would have gone with the Daytona. How often do you see a SS Daytona lying around in an AD?

RolexABC · 8 December 2010, 08:38 PM

If money was no object; Daytona!!!

xjeeunitx · 8 December 2010, 10:47 PM

Daytona for me, and that is only because it is one of my grails.

gregmoeck · 8 December 2010, 11:13 PM

I love the subs but having tried on a daytona i would day I would have gone with the daytona. Its a great watch

Joey_V · 8 December 2010, 11:20 PM

Hype or not, the daytona feels so good on my wrist. It's so comfortable and well balanced. I'd buy the daytona over again if I had to.

Only 1 thing better... All gold.

Cru Jones · 8 December 2010, 11:22 PM

seems like you've wanted the daytona for forever, so, you made the right choice for you. that, and, the sub-c is readily available, so, if you flip, you'll like get most of your money back on the daytona.

how about pix?

personally, i prefer the black sub-c, but that's just me. now, deciding between the black milgauss and the sub-c? that's a tougher one....

The GMT Master · 9 December 2010, 12:15 AM

The black dials do seem to be easier to get in this country, we've had to put a couple of them in the window in the past 12 months because people kept turning them down. White dials seem to have a pretty strong demand still. As for the choice of watch, I would personally choose the Sub, the steel Daytona does nothing for me. In two-tone, however, it would be a different story

Daytona

Come on round to Singapore and Malaysia and you would get at least a 5% discount if not more on Rolexes except for current It models. All other major brands, minimum 15%. I had previous bought a Zenith with a 37% discount and a popular Rolex model for 15% discount.

With the discount, you could buy a watch AND bring the missus for a holiday. Potential maritial confrontation averted!

Kanger · 11 December 2010, 02:54 PM

Sub C

fc3s2k · 11 December 2010, 04:28 PM

If I have a choice: Daytona for sure, then SS Sub C Black dial

wisguy · 11 December 2010, 04:41 PM

In that situation, Daytona for sure.

Speed · 11 December 2010, 04:47 PM

You did well...I will have a Daytona some day!

hacampbell1360 · 11 December 2010, 04:51 PM

Daytona for sure. How many time you walk into a AD and see a SS Daytona on display?

probably next to nothing.
