For 2010, two of Edox's new models are meant for people who wish to measure speed.

Paying in Advance for the SS Daytona
Has anyone paid in advance for the SS Daytona to be able to be on a priority list instead of just a list of interested customers?? I was told by my local AD that this is a new approach. They cant guarantee a delivery date BUT when one becomes available the customer will be notified and it is also a way to gauge the seriousness of the people that want it. I just want to see if anyone has heard of this tactic and or has experience it and would love to hear the outcome. Thanks in Advance.
