Thanks for your thoughts bakerb22. One thing that I see is that for the high end Swiss watches market $10,000 isn't much when you see what you could spend. At the end of the day if you add a bit of "hard to get" on the side...it makes it more fun for the people that want to play the Daytona game. Just the same..it is a great watch with it's 72 hr. power R. and it is spot on. You don't see people with the SS Daytona's that much. I have seen maybe four people with one. One guy was 85 years old. However he had a new one. Now that's cool but would have been better if it was a Daytona from the 70's..(first owner).
