Why isn't the white gold daytona as popular as SS models?

[armchaireconomist]

Yes... price.... both watches are almost the same... with $30k+,many people will go for other watches...

That's right. People would go for the movement. Why pay so much more for material?

So anyone know where to buy the WG Black dial for daytona ?
Price indication wil be good .

Thanks

[Oceanklassik]

THG @LP for $35-36k (after discount). Some period ago.

But resale WG is about 40% less than what you paid...

Looking for someone to let go

x3. now saving for someone to sell

The dial dun think can get it at cheap price, afterall its the nicest dial of all.

WG weight is more than SS, felt it on my hands once . The feel is great!

At that time its 28k with discount. But put side by side to SS , material looked alike.

For me, it's the SS Daytona (preferable with the black dial of the WG Daytona). Since, it's not the norm, I will stick to the black dial SS Daytona.
I generally don't like Frankenstein pieces.



If I want a gold version, it will have to be YG. Why pay so much for the WG version without the bling factor. Moreover, I think the YG version with black face is really attractive.

Haha thanks for all the reply , but i'm looking for just the WG black daytona dial , not the whole watch . Anyone ?

Since i already got a SS daytona , if i will to spent $30K on a daytona , my choice will be the new rosegold model with black dial .
But i'm waiting to see if rolex will release the new model daytona next year , hope the new model will be at least 42mm with day and date . Or maybe at least date .
Don't understand why most of the IWC chorno comes with Day Date but rolex like only the high end ones comes with it nia .

[Darkangel]

Daytona with date? IMO chances are close to zero.

[seiko.citizen]

"daytona" with date. can try tudor

Hi all,

I am a newbie in this website, just got myself a new SS daytona black dial at SGD15.5K, not sure if it is overprice?

[daytona 6263]

Yeah...definitely wad...it's the price that turns ppl off...hehe

Well at one time you could pick up a new TT for around the Same price as the S.Steel
when Daytona fever was at its peek quite a few years ago now.Myself cannot see why all the fuss is over the S.Steel Daytona its only got two dial options black or white.Perhaps it was a fashion thing or it was it a fact of owning a watch that was hard to get at retail but was quite easy to find if willing to pay a premium.The TT Daytona was quite easy to find with quite a few different dial options and if bargained hard could even get a discount.So got to ask myself why is the S.Steel Daytona more popular even if its close too or more expensive than the TT Daytona,which IMO its a better looking watch with far more dial options.

Saw it at SGD 14200+ (net) from AD in South Korea a few days ago.

They will sell you a black dial at ard 500+, so you get to have both dials.
