Well guys I got the call today!!!!

Its an M-series 070XXX

I couldnt believe I got it this quick!!! I absolutely love it..

The pics suck. I had to take them at the AD with a not so great camera. They are shipping it to me out of state to save on tax so I will get better ones later!!!!!

I hope you guys like it as much as I do!!!!

Big congrats on a "grail"! The black dial is awesome!!

Gaijin · 6 October 2007, 09:18 AM

What's not to like!!! Awesome! Congratulations!!

Rawhyde · 6 October 2007, 09:23 AM

Congratulations Robb! Glad you got it! If you want to avoid the pain and discomfort of breaking it in (it really IS painful), I'll be glad to wear it for the first 6 months...

How do you get it shipped out of state? Do you have a relative or friend living there? I would like to do the same but not sure how to do it. I think I could persuade my AD. Or did you buy it out of your home state? Thanks!

Downing · 6 October 2007, 10:18 AM

Fantastic news! Wear it in good health, Robb.

Robb · 6 October 2007, 10:19 AM

I live 10 minutes from the state line and just sent to an address just over the state line!!!

It really does look better in person. I was afraid with it being black dial that it would look like any other Rolex but this thing really stands out!!!!

SPACE-DWELLER · 6 October 2007, 10:20 PM

Congrats on getting that beauty!

And the Black Cos, to boot!

Hmm. Are the SS Daytonas becoming more common??

I dont think so Bo. The owner of my AD is very close to someone very high up at Rolex NY. Anyway, I expressed to him how bad I wanted a Daytona on sept 9th. He said " I know you would never get a Daytona to try and make money off of. Do you really want it that bad". I said YES!!!!!!!!! So he said to me " I will make a phone call to my friend at Rolex and you will have a Daytona very soon".

Could be the case, but with all the threads popping up latly seems as they are becoming more and more common. Soon everyone on that board that wants one will have one.

Thats not even including the people that have them that are not on the board. Seems the production is starting to catch up.

The other problem a few AD here in FL told me was that they will have 10-15 people or more on a list, and when they call the people, somtimes 12-13 of the first people they call dont want it, cant afford it, bad timing etc etc. So there getting easier to come by.

Stef_Call · 6 October 2007, 10:55 PM

Congrats. Great looking watch. Alot of new Daytona's from AD's at MRSP lately. Are they becomming easier to get in some areas of the world ?? Are we just getting better at sourcing them because of the info. we share on this forum ?? Is it a combo of both ?? Whatever it is, its great to see so many new owners right here on TRF. Hopefully some of the other members that are on waiting lists will get the call soon !!
