Well, I have always said that I enjoy the preowned hunt. I rarely bother with “waitlists” and I have never paid over retail for any Rolex. Not to say that there aren’t many new models that I would buy, but I am patient and will get them as they come. Although I can afford the premium of buying from a “grey”, I just simply refuse as it would ruin the experience and the fun for me. Instead, I have found many pieces that I really enjoy, and it gives me an extra smile knowing that I paid a fraction of what someone else paid for the same watch, and I get to enjoy it just as much (maybe more).
Interesting parallel is that I am the same way with cars. I own a few Porsche’s, and I refuse to get caught up in the nonsense of allocations and paying over sticker.
None of this is meant as criticism to anyone who chooses a different path, just sharing my thoughts as someone who has collected watches since he was a kid, and who didn’t really enjoy the bubble of the past few years (glad it is deflating, I knew it would eventually). I am a passionate collector and enjoy my watches. While I appreciate that they are a fairly safe place to park money (the way I buy), I don’t expect any big gains, nor do I view them as investment vehicles. I always tell my kids “Cars and watches are for fun, stocks and real estate are for investing”.
Sorry to ramble…just recently picked up this pre-loved 116519. I love the feel of the white gold (I like a heavy watch). Not my first PM Rolex, but first with diamonds. I also love the stealthiness of the black dial with the small diamond markers. It looks like a plain stainless black dial Daytona to most untrained eyes, but it definitely is not. It’s heavy, and the diamonds add a nice little extra that makes you smile when you look at it. Kind of an IYKYK kinda piece in my mind.
Not particularly collectible, but I don’t care. I will wear it often and enjoy it.
Thanks for reading

How much did you pay? Ever worry about getting a fake?

Never. Been doing this a long time. Already taken to my AD (which is an authorized service center) and had them check it out and pressure test. All lines up!
Paid roughly half of the cost of new.

Nice watch!

I like the rubber strap on it - is that factory? Is this a pre oyster flex rubber strap? I thought these models came with leather straps.

Correct. I have the factory black gator, and this is a rubber B with the factory buckle. Perfect fit. Love it.

Love the preceramic PM Daytona’s on straps. Very sharp and excellent value. Yours is a nice looking example. Enjoy.
