I was on vacation in SC this past week and ran across a Daytona at the local AD. They offered it to me for $9925 out of the door. I left and thought about for a day and couldn't resist. I needed a friend for my Sub! Here is a picture I took for insurance. I'll Try and get some more "artsy" photos up ASAP.

First of all Congratulations on your new watch

...but i just noticed you paid $9925..which i assume he just took out the tax...atleast you could have asked for a V series..i dont want to sound like scumbag here but you could have atleast ask for more discount..IMO a brand new M series should be just $9600 out of the door or maybe less..by the way does it have the new clasp on it??but anyway if your happy with it...Thats all it matters!!!

mdtddd2007 · 20 July 2009, 01:09 PM

Oscar,
The MSRP of $9,925.00 is correct. The card states #78590 which denotes the "new" clasp. Not every AD has V series 116520 available.

What's a person to do? Accidents will happen.

Good pickup on the bracelet #78590, kinda got the feeling the original poster is very pleased with his purchase.
Here in Canada there is no such thing as a discount on a S/S Daytona, it simply goes to the next available purchaser.

Great find! Congrats!

but for $9925 for an M new clasp you think is fair price??

dhiltonlittle · 21 July 2009, 01:52 AM

Thanks for the responses, I'm loving the watch! I want to take some pictures of it with the sub and get them up here. As far as the clasp it is the updated one. I was under the impression that there were no differences between the m and v series other than that and the latest letter. In NYC they are still nearly impossible to find in a dealer so i felt it was a good move to grab it whether it was a m or v. both are great watches.

marshallr47 · 21 July 2009, 02:36 AM

Wow! Congrats and enjoy it for many years to come.
