That’s because you’re used to staring at the gigantic thing on your wrist called Exp II.

Not really. It looks like it’s cutting off his circulation, haha.

I'm not surprised, but I think the pricing is in error. Or maybe he is actually testing out the market on this one.

The 42,000 list by David is the bank wire price.

However, on Chrono 24, he has it still listed at about 39,000!!!

Of course, with chrono24, he has to pay another 5% or so in fees, so it just doesn't add up.

I think in the next couple of months it will hover around the low 40s, though.

Agreed. Never understood why some guys equate the size of a watch with its appeal, or lack thereof. It's about design, feel, comfort, etc ... Either a watch works or it doesn't, no matter if it's 36mm or 44mm, or anything in between.

Love it or hate it, the Daytona has been the hottest Rolex for decades now and will continue to be.

Not really. He has one listed today for ~$38.6k and that’s from 2017.

Dr H A · 8 October 2021, 10:06 AM

Yes it will be 50K in 1 year

ndrs63 · 8 October 2021, 10:08 AM

So not worth even half the price. And this coming from someone who owns one!!

But is that one unworn. The one on Chrono 24 for 38 or 39K is unworn

This is the market value of the watch, inspired by simply supply/demand dynamics

jaisonline · 8 October 2021, 10:22 AM

Once you get anywhere near this price level, a very nice “swiss made” 16520 should probably be the radar instead?

How to check the real price? Ask a grey dealer how much they'd pay for the same watch,.

Numbers are real and people are paying.. Just like everything else as long as people keep buying at these prices the market will continue to escalate.

Michael Jordan wears a platinum Daytona it’s all in what you like and no more!

Thinking watches are one size fits all is like thinking shirts are one size fits all. For myself, Daytona's are way to small. That's the correct answer for me. You have no say otherwise.

I don’t understand how so many of these threads are relevant on a watch enthusiast forum. Doesn’t add much to the community’s knowledge base at large. Just fuel for more opining and whining.

I would love either for these talks to be banned or for the creation of a separate sub forum for investment/speculation and other non-watch-related-but-loosely-associated-with-watches topics.

Seems like every other thread on the forum is now related to pricing or speculation.

Maybe so, when bitcoin is going up. I haven't noticed the same correlation when btc is going down.

Is this due to investors? I can’t imagine a watch enthusiast paying that kind of premium.

Probably on you too since your wrist doesn’t seem that big. All those watches you posted look big on you. Don’t try to oversell your size
