Seriously leaning towards one of these in white instead of the platona. I mean of course the platona is platinum and the colours are great but I like the look of the white with ceramic Besel just as much. (Be a lot cheaper too!)

I know my own OCD wouldn't allow me to own only one....I would want both....

What say you?


Honestly I think it depends on your collection. In my 3-piece ensemble I feel like 2 SS daytonas from the same year would be a little redundant.

PS: Props on the username, btw. I have a Springfield TRP that I enjoy very much...

Has anybody found one of these in the case waiting to be bought or is everything handed out according to these "lists". I only ask because I am going to a mall with an AD and didn't know if I would get the chance to see one.

I would bet all are pre sold and based on lists. Clearly those with strong relationships and so,I'd buying history at the top.

The only list that exists is the one in the owners head. Any "sales person" list is superseded.

Joining the club from Manila, Philippines. May this greeting find all of you in the best of health.

I picked her up yesterday in HK, here she is with me in Mott 32 while enjoying a fabulous roast duck lunch!

Cheers!

Congrats. You're probably one of the first Filipino living the Philippines to own the new SS Daytona. Who knows, you might even be the very first. Congrats again.

I'm eagerly waiting. Hopefully in the next few weeks or so !!

Thanks kabayan. Our local ADs should follow suit shortly - I expect first batch by August/September given that HK and Macau were served in June. Cheers

Getting jazzed for mine to come in. I am #4 on the list at my AD. I am sure they'll get a batch of black and white, so by the time my number gets called, I will probably have to decide to take black or wait a while longer for white. It will be a tough call, but I am leaning white right now.

Does anyone have a link to a video on adjusting the bracelet? All I can find is how to remove and add links. Is that all that can be done? I just need it to be a little larger.

This thread is full of enablers! I asked at the local AD yesterday, who I've used before for jewelry but not watches, about the possibility of becoming a white Daytona owner. They said they were all going to the VIPs, but I was welcome to go on the list. I asked how long it would take to go through the list and she said she didn't know, but it would be "quite a while".
Maybe I'll put myself on? I'm thinking of getting something gold as well. Decisions, decisions. I guess it can't hurt to get on a list.
