You'll be lucky to get anyone to commit to less than a ten year wait unless you want to pay significantly over list.

The only other way to get bumped up is to spend money on another watch at the dealer and hope they'll reward you.

Personally I don't get all these sales tactics, what's the point in advertising a car or watch you can't actually buy. If anything it just steers me further away from these brands.

I'm still sore that Porsche told me I'm not loyal enough to buy the car I like! I won't be buying a new Porsche following that.

This 10 year wait is the same old st that has been spouted for years about the previous SS Daytona (116520)...however you could buy one out of several jewellers on Oxford Street for list price +/- without waiting list shortly after launch.

£15k - £13.5k in a couple of hours. Let's keep going and we may be down to a sensible price

Good luck with your search - the main watch dealers will buy a new ceramic Daytona for £12-12.5K which is the current floor. Rolex are rumoured to be putting their prices up on Sept 1st which will work its way through into the asking price.

I'd prefer a brand new one

So you want a brand new version of the most sought after watch of the moment for a 'sensible price' without having your name on the waiting list or serious history with an AD?

Genuinely, good luck.

As I understood it, an authorised dealer weren't allowed to sell over retail price.

As I explained, the last time around there was the same 10 year waiting list bs which actually wasn't the case and watches were available at retail on more than one occasion.

Hence the question as to whether anyone knew of any stock.

I've got someone in the UAE at the moment. Can you recommend a jeweller?

Can do in Oman, not UAE.

I would just go to a watch shop and ask them to get you one.

They will be over in Oman shortly if you have a good contact.

Surely a flight to and from is worth the saving alone?

If it's possible, then yes...but I have people in the area so it's not the end of the world if I don't have to go personally...

If you are in the process of getting divorced (and I was sorry to read that, but life is short eh) Remember you'll need to list stuff like this on your assets form (the form which is simply called a letter of the alphabet the exact one escapes me)

Might be worth delaying the purchase ....

the form is Form E and yes if he is getting divorced then he is probably better delaying such a purchase. On Form E, you have to list all your assets including watches, jewellery, cars etc. They are then used to calculate total assets and the starting point for any financial settlement starts at equal split but in the UK more often than not ends up with the man ends up with much less than 50%.

I've not been down that route, but surely it'll go on the form either as a watch or as cash? At least with a watch you could potentially factor in some 'depreciation'?!

Still without Daytona...despite PM contact from some posters!
