to a shopping center nearby: Gearys does it for the 3rd time:

 

Get there opening day and maybe you will only wait a year for a Daytona!

 

stopping by today, I'll see if there are any daytonas in the case.

 

Niiiiiiice!!

 

A few folks asked: yes, it is the Santa Monica Place new boutique. The Gearys folks also said the new Century City boutique should be open before the end of the month.

 

Thanks for the heads up on the new Santa Monica location.

 

just back, yes there is a case with a number of daytonas in it. Met Rafael and he was very nice and looked forward to seeing the local collector community stop by, we had a nice chat.
Picked up a copy of R mag #5.

 

But stainless Daytonas that are available for sale?

 

Are they still taking a year? I was at my local boutique about six months ago and their list was at 132.

 

Maybe near you, but not for 95% of us.

 

Those look great. Ordered a 116610LN today after considering the Ceramic Daytona for some time (the shop had it, but at a very painful premium).
Supply and Demand.... :|

 

Ya, sunshine tax.
