San Francisco Torrneau

AD in san Francisco told me that there were only 7 stainless daytonas allotted to USA. I assume he meant for Feb. Any truth to that?

A Boston Tourneau told me the same thing when he noticed mine on my wrist a few months back. Probably a system-wide memo to all salesfolks.

If an AD spread enough rumors that supply is low/limited, demand stays the same or even goes up; and any possible discounts are out the window. I will check with my AD.

I highly doubt that a country the size of the U.S.A. is only allotted 7 pieces of SS Daytonas in a month!!!

A rather questionable ploy by a salesperson desperate to try and keep the goose that lays the golden eggs alive. People aren't stupid, anyone who has knowledge of Rolex knows that the Daytona is anything but rare.
