If you are dealing with the owner, he or she would likely be offended, as they already have favored clients who get watches like that, and they don’t pay a tip or bribe. Offering $5k would not put you in their good graces.

If you are willing to pay a premium, buy what you want on the grey market.



How can a Daytona be rare there are many many thousands of them in this world today. What is rare is buying one at retail price, the Daytona got to be the most over hyped Rolex watch ever. But today hype sells watches and why the Daytona is now crazy money for a mass produced watch. The Daytona today has become little more than a $$££€€ object thing to many and little more which is a shame.
