Outstanding. Well done. Great price! I was just in Guam and started this thread. I know exactly the AD ( only two there and I went to both) that you bought your Daytona from. They seemed pretty firm with me on discounts so huge congratulations to you!

Yup it was from Caronel @ Tumon Sands, Tumon Guam... And I didn't get any discounts on it, $11k was what it was listed for in the display case.

I could just picture you saying, "Give me that pen I'm signing my warranty card"!

I saw a clip on the news about a guying in Asia buying a car with the equivalent of 14,000 USD in change!!! It took the staff 6-8 hours to count have the money. They then convinced him to pay for the other half with a card.

Hafa day!

I lived on Guam during my middle school years a while back. Great pick up!
I wore my black dial today and god it's lovely especially outside when the light hits it.

Nice piece! Mine was from the Tumon sands plaza. I wasn't able to get a discount but at 11k I have no room to complain (I already feel bad for everyone paying the 13 or 14 they're selling for in the states). They must have been about to drop the sticker on them to 11 right before you bought yours.
