Advice Sought for Daytona

[breitling77]

Daytona is a good model, uses 4130 in house movements and 116520 is the only sports model (if I'm not wrong) that commands a premium since it's launched, though the premiums had softened over the last free years. It's beautiful though the current model may be replaced with ceramic bezel in future. Already seen in rose gold case. Nonetheless it's still a great model to get if you can afford.

Price is reasonable as Rolex just increased the prices in June. I think the current retailed price for 116520 is more than $16k, not sure about 116509 (should be at least $42k). With premium it may be selling about $17k. But just 1 comment (no offence to seller); my friend just got a white piece from Macau last month for about $14k. It may be cheap, but the hassle, traveling etc may not suit you. Moreover it may be an empty trip.

Lastly, no worries with warranty. Make sure the warranty card is together with the purchase. You will need to bring it to service center if you send your watch for repair etc within 2 years from date of purchase. And since it's from someone I suggest to send the watch for verification, at least a piece of mind, unless you are able to tell the difference. My 2 cents of opinion. Good luck for your 1st Rolex and welcome to the club!

Daytona discount is limited and depends on which SA one get it from.

[breitling77]

Is that true? If it's true, then it will be a breaking news. 116520 hasn't been discounted since! Even during bad time in 2009, it was asking about $500 more from retailed price. Even since, the premiums had gone up about $1k or $1k plus.

Sorry, information not accurate.
The 116520 SS Black dial was purchased in March 2012. Box opened not worn by seller.
So is sgd14.5k still reasonable?
So I be better off getting a new piece?

Rolex Daytona 116515 : Opinion

Was recently offered a piece with brown dial at 29,800 nett from Local Ad.
With 6% gst back (i can get someone to bring the piece overseas), comes to abt 28k. Using my credit card to pay for it, i would get points to for vouchers, worth a few hundred.
This is good price?

Hi All,

Am new to the forum. Would like to ask if SS Daytona 116520 white dial, random alpha num series @ 5% is a good deal? I see that usually no discount at all?

[nimm12]

usually zero discount at local AD

saw some dealers selling europe AD white daytona at $14,000+
used one few year old about $12,000+

[Oceanklassik]

The current retail price for the white Daytona 116520, as well as the black one is $15,650, to be exact. The white one is normally sold at its retail price but the black one is sold way above at a premium price of between $16,500 and $18,000.

[satch]

5% is a good deal for this model if it is from a local AD. U should grab!
