Well, here is how everything goes:

I walked in the store and as soon I discovered they had a lot of hard finds, I choose the blue SD. I wanted to buy the Hulk too, but the owner of the store thought I was a gray dealer and wouldn't allow me to buy more then 1 watch.

I had to pay for the watches with my credit card, but they wanted a wire transfer, wich was not possible, because thats how they are doing with their clients. I said that was impossible, because despite being brasilian, I am currently living in Portugal.

They asked me if I knew anybody in Rio Preto, so I told all the story about my brother in law and his family. After I convinced them to pay with my credit card and have choosen the SD, I tried to include the Hulk in the same transaction. Later the store owner allowed it, but she wanted me to pay the credit card fees. I said I wasn't confortable doing that and have left the LV out of the deal.

Then I paid for the blue SD and while they were finishing the package, I asked if they had a Daytona. She laughed and I asked her to take a look at it, because I have never seen the black dial in the flesh. I knew the watch was already ordered for somebody. When she showed me the watch I knew I had the opportunity of a lifetime!

Then I told her that if she sell me the Daytona I wouldn't.mind paying the credit card fee. Then she told me she was going to talk to store owner, wich is abroad, and as soon she answered, she would call me.

So I left the store with my new blue SD and with such hope!

After all day long she called me telling that the watch was mine!!!

I think I spent at least 2 hours trying to convince them!

What I can tell for my own experience is that if there is a waiting list, they do whatever they want!!!!

Great news congrats on all

[SeikoBake]

Great tip. Thanks Guicampa. I was in Belo Horizonte recently and they also had a good selection. Only problem in Brazil is the high tax...

Congrats! Wear them in good health.

At least we can find the watches, because living in Portugal for almost 2 years, I found nothing! Had to wait for a year and a half to get a new ss pepsi... and i have a good relationship with them!

The list price in Br is a little bit above list price in every else, but...
