I'm in the same boat, I've been wanting an SS/black dial Daytona for a very long time, gorgeous, classic chrono.
I actually gave in a few months ago, suppressed my fear of the asian 7750 secs @ 6 and ordered one from one of our finest dealers. When I got it, it had awful subdial rings, they were fat and very shiny, and the subdials were too small. It looked really cheap and fake, nothing like his web photos. After a bit of cajoling the dealer agreed to take it back and refund my money.
The subdials on the secs @ 9 Daytona are too small, and the rings are too thick, doesn't look right, IMO.
I wish they'd somehow perfect the Daytona, sigh.
