    But then there's the usual 'do lists exist'/'do "good" customers get preference' overlay.

    I hope that you put your name down and took a note of the name of the person you dealt with. The years will fly by.

    There was one in the window of Goldsmiths in Leeds yesterday afternoon along with a GMT LN (which I have seen some chancers trying to sell at a premium on eBay).

    EDIT: This clown asking £7,000 for a 2012!

    The local AD says ten years...and he's wearing a new ceramic Daytona, so he must have been very patient.

    This is what I hate about this..its created and nurtured an attitude in the AD outlets also..
    There is a Yachtmaster a Mil and a Airking in Chester... nearly went for the air king but cant convince myself on the 5 10 3 20 25 6 erc etc
    Looks pointless

    There *was* a blue dial yachtmaster in the rolex shop in Knightsbridge on Saturday.

    It's on my wrist now though. Hehe.

    Have to say they were a really pleasant AD to chat with, unlike my very recent experiences elsewhere. Couldn't be happier with their service.

    Harrods had the iridium version as well. Aside from those two didn't spot any sports/pro models elsewhere.

    2006 SS Daytona

    White Face - full set for 12,600. In a jewellers in Salisbury today.

    Looked very clean.

    Spotted a very attractive daycare in Pressleys (Worthing South Street) window..
    Also lots of Rolex (no sports models of course but a fair few ss models left not sure which but worth popping down or a phone call) all at about 10% off, bremont and Tudor also reduced but didn't have time to have a proper look.
    Price on the day date is negotiable and I was offered it for £6200 so £6k dead should be doable if you wave the money at them :0)

    Suspect it’s the new Deepsea as there wasn’t a new retail price for old one.

    I zoomed in and it has thinner lugs, so is the newer one.

    Didn't think the new one would quite be a window piece just yet. But obviously it is

    Now that would be something to post about, but I assume it is just a green glass Milgauss.

    Yes, even these that were available at every AD before start to become a rare sight.
    Personally I love them. Here is mine..

    No sports SS models at T4, although there was a lovely OP 39mm with the new grape dial. Told the missus she should try it but she said she doesn’t want it!

    I had a chat with them a couple of months ago; black and white are rare and fly off the shelves in minutes. Rhodium and blue move fairly quickly (days) and the red grape dialled ones tend to hang around for weeks

    Anyone ever seen the white gold day date with green face at the airport?
