Daytona Stainless question

Need an answer to a question. Does the Daytona Stainless model have the new adjustable clasp that can be adjusted on the fly without changing links? I've heard it does and it dosen't and I've heard it did for years and now dosen't and I've heard it didn't and now does

If it does in fact have it now, when did they start putting the adjustable clasp on? Which year and also which serial (did it start with Z serial?)

Thanks in advance!

Its a micro adjustment link, which allow you to increase half a link length. I believe it started with M serial.

It does not have the glide-lock as the new sub bracelets do which offer a large amount of easy adjustability. It does have the easy link which allows you to expand the bracelet 5mm.

Perfect, thanks for the quick info!!!

Is the easy link switch roughly enough to equal being like taking out 1 link? Not sure how 5mm plays out.

Thanks again for the help!

Also, do AD's ever discount these watches? I've heard no from a few people. And if you guys think no also....You think it's possible to get them to pay for the taxes on one, or no way?

Possible yes, truthfully not likely. Unless you have a great relationship with an AD then it will be almost impossible. If they have one they might even tell you they don't if you are just a walk in off the street. As for taxes just have it shipped "out of state" to save the taxes.
