I want to see the actual picture of the watch for sale or they are blowing smoke. No one would use a stock photo if they actually had this watch for sale.

I think the Le Mans Daytona should have never been sold to anyone by Rolex.
Rather, only awarded to the 1st place drivers and team owner (5 per year) for the next 20 years… Now…what do you think it would fetch if one came to the auction block under those conditions? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I’m going to say something that may require a tin foil hat. These watches are released in very small numbers and strictly controlled/allocated and yet they instantly appear on the gray market. To think Rolex doesn’t know Who What & Where is silly.
I think Rolex has commissioned/condoned a select few ADs to resell to gray dealers. Why? Look at the hype!! 51k watch selling for 400k. That’s the best marketing and publicity any company can get. You can’t buy that kind of PR. They’re getting it for free. What sells watches these days, as Padi likes to say $$$$$! Omega and others would kill for that kind of PR/Marketing hype. The have anti hype and therefore relegated to the discount bins of Jomashop. Conspiracy theory probably but maybe not so crazy when you really think about it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

You both couldn’t be more wrong. If you meet a rich person that’s actually into watches they will show you. Likewise to any thing any person has serious interests in. If the passion exist rich or not you will find out very very fast lmao Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'll pile on with the POSSIBLE disappointment in Rolex. However, as I said above, I do not believe these are even being shipped yet. Until I see one on an actual collector's wrist I will assume the post for the LeMans was nothing than prefabricated hype.
IF this is genuine and two of these ended up immediately on the gray market, then shame on Rolex. It is exactly this type of behavior that is truly disgusting when you have a model like this that fans of the brand and fans of the Daytona would die for, and to see the system so openly mocked is truly obscene behavior. I do not want to believe this is true, because whether it's imaginary or not I need to believe that the Mothership is watching this model and they are going to ensure they are going to customers that have supported the brand. I have always supported the gray market and I'm a believer that people can do as they wish with their watches. I also believe that Rolex and ADs have a right to run a business how they see fit. And at the end of the day, those are the rules. However, people do not have to like the rules. There HAS to be a red line. You just do not create the LeMans and then let the entire system sh*t all over itself and sit back and think it is fine. That's behavior that will absolutely turn me off (and eventually away) from the brand.

Pieces like this elevate the brand. I know kids that are only interested in Rolex because many models trade for over MSRP.
In theory a low production/limited time model but nobody can know for sure. A unique movement that is only in this Daytona. PM, but not platinum so it doesn’t interfere with the Platinum Daytona at the top of the food chain. I would normally never buy a WG Daytona, but I’ll buy this if my AD offers me one. Then I’ll be sad if they release it in YG down the road. |

Tin foil hat?? LOL wow this is absolutely what is going on. Resellers own this forum so you won't get any commiserating here but by a few maybe.

Sell a couple of those and you can buy Mo Salah, at least for the next couple of hours before the Saudis come back...

Im sure Rolex has plenty of these unicorns up their sleeves. Theyve been releasing one off models for many years. They just know how to do it so well because theyve been doing it so long. Theyve perfected the art of releasung rare unique watches every few years. There truly marketing genious's. They know our emotions and how to toy with them. Yet we cant get enough. Props to Rolex
