Advice Sought for Daytona

[diko]

Never know that the Ang Mo like white dial more

[diko]

Wah that is very good price...

[jackjack]

black and white retails the same but local ADs always ask extra $500 to $1k for the black
in US and europe its the other way round - the white cost most
guess angmoh prefer white and asians prefer black

Yes... my original receipt for my black daytona from a local AD was 17500. I bought it BNIB 2nd hand... the premium for black in asian is still high. i believe price has soften already

I think the retailed for Daytona SS is about $15k, but the selling price from local AD is about $15.5k to $16.5k for white dial whereas $16k to $17k for black. Black is always more expensive than white, not sure why. Some say black is more sporty. It all depends which AD and how close you are to them and availability. Still hoping the price to drop close to retailed, but rumor that Rolex will increase price soon. The closest was 2 years ago where premium is very close to retailed, but these 2 years it had increased again. And surprisingly shorter waiting time, guess Daytona is getting less popular as there are many newer models over the last few years, or people are waiting for the "new" SS Daytona with ceramic? But if it does launched, it will be much much more. Honestly if you really like, better get it before annual price increase.

I have a white face Daytona.....so it's personal preference.
What's the latest price of the Daytona these days?

[kohym]

i go for white too

[skydweller_sg]

White looks bigger than black, i feel

[Betelc]

I'm biased towards the white one owing to the fact that I seem to see more of that around

The white seems to make the dial appear bigger too. With all the clutter on the dial, a seemingly larger dial will make the watch more balanced.

[skydweller_sg]

Agree, but seems like asians prefer black daytona while ang mohs prefer white

[Betelc]

Agree, but seems like asians prefer black daytona while ang mohs prefer white

That's probably Asians are more conservative compared to our Caucasian counterparts. Hence the black colour is safer.

Actually both white and black are still cool. It's more of an individual preference if I may say. I have 2 black dials seikos and 1 black dial tag chrono, that's y my rolex is green. If I were to buy a ss daytona, it will very likely to be a white face.
