Where can I get the new Ceramic Daytona?!
Discussion
sorry typo on previous post -now not know.
Ha, well at the moment I'm 80/20 in favor of keeping, the combining factors of it being a bit of a headache to try and sell privately along with the fact the watch is so aught after and it is a privilege to own, means I am likely to keep it, however if I was offered a decent price with a stress free transaction, who knows?

I'll offer you list price even though it's 2nd hand, so you are not out of pocket, stress fee also, I'll transfer the money up front, when can I pick it up ?it being a bit of a headache to try and sell privately, however if I was offered a decent price with a stress free transaction, who knows?

Hope the OP doesn't mind me reviving this thread for an update on my own trials and tribulations, I went to the Rolex store yesterday to try get an update from the manager who took my number and said I'd get one in the next delivery but he wasn't in.
I had some minor chit-chat with one of the sales men there and he took my number and actually opened an excel spreadsheet on the computer! There IS a list! Infact, he told me there are several lists, depending on your importance I guess. He said they often get between 1 and 6 Daytonas every couple of weeks and each time they get one in they dish them out to whoever is at the top of each list...unless the owner of the franchise decides to take them all for his own friends, like he has done the last couple of deliveries according to the sales man) the kicker is he couldn't find my phone number on any list but assured me the General Manager probably has me on a different list (probably the "never going to get a Daytona" list ).

Well there are over 50 people on the list in Oman, Qatar is a non starter as is Dubai and the rest of the UAE so my only hope of getting one is via a friend who may be able to pull some strings in Bahrain. I'm planning on leaving the Middle East soon, seems like there is little chance of getting one before then
Just wait a year for the hype to die down and get one at or below list like every other Daytona, that's what I'll be doing.Mansells Tash said:
