I love the white Daytona but not for $35k lol. I much rather get an all yellow gold sub instead.

I know this is not what the OP is really referring to, and I don’t want to hijack this thread, but I find it irritating the attitude some people exclaim on this site about purchasers paying over MSRP for a piece they want. Let’s leave flipping, buying for investment etc. completely out of this, but frankly, if someone wants a particular piece and is willing to pay whatever they do to obtain it, more power to them. “I’ll never pay more then MSRP... anyone that pays that much over MSRP is stupid... blah blah blah..” If you are adamant about never paying more then MSRP for a watch, and will not buy that watch until you are able to purchase it for MSRP, good for you! I wish you the best of luck in finding it quickly. If you desire a Daytona (or just about any SS Sport model) and are willing to pay 25K, 30K or 100K then good for you! Go ahead and buy it. Who is anyone to question how much you spend for a fine timepiece you desire. Heck, most people find it ludicrous I spent $10,000 for any watch when I bought my sub. If someone else was not as fortunate as I to find it at MSRP, desires the piece and spends 13, 14, 15 25K for it, then that is their choice and congratulations! I just find these “Holier then thou” posts about never paying more.... quite pompus. If that is your choice, more power to you. If others choose to pay higher to obtain a fine timepiece they truly desire, that does not make them any less intelligent, less passionate, or less of a WIS then you are.
OK, that’s it; mini-rant over. Please continue and accept my apologies OP for going off track. |

THANK YOU!!! Mic drop! My thoughts exactly. What I do with MY money is my business. Have I purchased my entire sig line from an AD? Nope. Do I lose sleep over it? Nope. But what I can do is make a profit off of every single one of them if I wanted. Figure I’d add that to my reply since all we seem to find on TRF is posts about money like Padi says

I’m not a fan of the Daytona, so no for me. The only Rolex I’m considering buying over MSRP is the hulk, since I can’t get it at my AD anymore.

Its a pity there were not more like yourself today, but to many now which is quite sad, Rolex are no longer watches bought to wear and be enjoyed, they are now nothing more than ££££££££$$$$$$$££££££$$$$$ to many.

The greys must be moving these Daytonas. I have been offered 29k from a very reputable grey for white dial 116500 with box and papers. They wouldn’t be paying that number to take it off my hands if there wasn’t profit around the corner.

Wouldn’t pay over retail for any watch, it’s only a watch.
I have bought many sports models at retail and flipped them for big profits. if people are willing to pay these stupid sums then I will continue to flip the sports models. Don’t like the Daytona at all so all the ones I’ve bought were to sell which has netted me a brand new current model rose gold daydate for zero money. |

I suppose I’m lucky in that I don’t like any of the current range enough to want to buy them.
I asked my AD for a black dial SS Daytona at 10am on the day they were announced and was told I was second on the list then. I’m still waiting 5 or is it 6 years later! I paid over MRRP twice for watches. First time was for an as new, stickers etc, white SS Daytona in 2009. I think it was about £1000 over MRRP at the time. I still have it now and have never regretted buying the watch. The second was when my wife saw a Silver Snoopy Speedmaster and wanted one. Again we had to pay about 50% over MRRP to get an as new watch. She has worn it as her daily wearer for most of the last 5 or 6 years and would never sell it. The enjoyment we have both had wearing these watches is far more important and valuable to us than the prices we had to pay to get them. I would say that it helps that if we did want to sell them, we could probably easily get our money back on both, but the enjoyment of wearing them has been well worth the extra money we paid to do so. |

Most who buy them don't probably like them anyhow. Just know they are a safe investment..:)

I’m thankful that we all are different. My brother bought from grey market a white one with sticker before New Year’s Eve for 30k. Some of us cannot buy from the AD

As an owner of a 116500LN at retail I am glad people with excess cash are pumping the price up. There are so many new millionaires out there that want these watches It's only a matter of time before they start flirting with vintage prices. There are already some on Chrono 24 for 40k plus. While I'm not ever selling mine, it feels awesome to have saved and waited and waited a little more, and then been rewarded with the hottest watch on the planet for a fair price.

Paid £7700 for my 2012 Daytona with APH dial in 2017 from the local grey dealer , went in pre xmas to purchase a diamond ring for my wife and he offered me £15k for the watch , cash in my account in 20 mins. I turned him down and only last week he offered me £17k as a take or leave it deal, I left it !!! He will be back
