New to this forum, although have been reading it for a while and enjoy the topics. I own several watches, a GP Ferrari, IWC Pilot, vintage date just and a few others. I'm certain, like a lot of you, I am in search of a new or almost new daytona SS cosmograph, preferably with a black face. Perhaps, by participating in this forum, I may be a little closer in my quest. Any suggestions (other than don't hold your breath) would be appreciated.

Welcome to TRF, Jeff.

Good luck in your hunt for the "Holy Grail". Hope you enjoy your stay on this forum.

Cheers - JJ

Welcome Jeff.

All the best on your hunt for the Daytona but don't make any silly vows like not shaving or getting a haircut until you find one.

Hi Jeff,
Welcome to TRF. For your grail watch, go to aandewatches.com.
They have a SS daytona with a black face. I have dealt with them in the past and they appear to be fine.

Jeff H. · 9 July 2007, 05:55 AM

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll give it a shot.

Hi Jeff, welcome aboard!

Good luck with the Daytona quest. They're available from reputable gray market dealers, but at a premium.

Thanks again for your suggestion. I did try emailing them and did receive a reply that I would get a call from their sales manager within a day or so......still waiting. Regardless, I will continue my quest.

I was in NY this week and tried a couple of dealers. Two of them suggested that I might have some luck finding the watch in St. Thomas or the Bahamas.
