SS Daytona in the UK - waiting list is over..?
Never miss a chance to look in the window of an AD, over the past 8 years or so of looking I've never seen a SS Daytona in any UK AD window - Yet walking past my local sussex AD I finally saw a black dial SS in their window - does this mean uk demand has slowed or have Rolex increased supply as something new is round the corner..?

Or, maybe a new model is coming. Ceramic gold this yr, certain TT next year and ceramic SS year after.

I've still never seen one in a UK window. Think demand must be slowing, MSRP for a SS Daytona is pretty crazy.

My local AD has a white daytona in their window...tried it on two weeks ago and it's still there. It seems like the BLNR is the new watch to have...

Can't imagine the waiting lists should Rolex release a ceramic pepsi GMT this year. |

I've been noticing them in window displays for the last year or so. And the BLNR recently as well. I would be glad to see the end the 'rare' watches hidden in the AD's safe. Pretty ridiculous, given the number of watches that Rolex churns out every year

the new ceramic ss which seems inevitable whether it be this year , next year, or 3 years from now will easily exceed the $15000 usd MSRP mark and we pretty much know it will not be 42mm since the 'updated' platinum remained at 40mm ceramic may be desired by many but many also love the SS bezel 'look' as well. once the new 'ceramic' subs came out many still 'long' for the older 16610's because they are 'iconic' and 'classic' moreso than the ceramic models.....for now.... the current ss daytona will be viewed in the 'exact' same way against the 'new' ceramics and thanks to the 'new' ceramics guaranteed HUGE price tag for an SS model the 'current' and soon to be discontinued models will be 'desired' and still sell at a premium and retain value ** i get it....wearing watch is the true value example: rolex seadweller 16660 last MSRP v.s NOS 16660 seadweller. the current model of the SS daytona will ALWAYS be 'desired' |

This is exactly the reason why I bought an SS Daytona last month. I love the look of the current one. If the new ceramic is nice, I can eventually get one, but at least I have the current one in case I don't like the new one. |

I have visited ADs in the USA, NY, NJ, CT, FL, etc and never did I see one on display. Was in Miami and Palm Beach, FL just last week and none to be seen.

I like how the daytona looks at present time, not sure how the ceramic bezel will look. I don't like the platinum but do like the Rose Gold with leather strap.

Daytona hype is over, but not everybody knows it yet, luckily for me, as I flipped one for a nice profit recently.

Cant remember ever seeing one in the AD Chris is at now. Wonder if they come in and sell quickly or if he sometimes hides them in the safe for special customers/good trf friends.

I've not heard of UK ADs offering any discount below the RRP on Daytona's they would rather gather dust than go for the sale, plus with so many UK ADs loosing Rolex accounts they seem to scarred these days to offer any discount on anything

Or it means that they want to sell a watch.
Sometimes things are simple.

I think when the Ads start offering discounts on SS Daytonas then we know the hype is def over! However before this happens I imagine there will have been an update to this model hence will start all over again!!!

There is still the same desirability for the SS Daytona, but as the price is now £7950, when people on the list are next up, they simply can't all afford the nigh on £8000 price tag so IMHO the price has now reached a level where common sense will prevail.
