Daytona Price Drop
I was trolling around the Alan Furman site today and noticed the SS Daytona is now going for 11,750. As I remember a few months ago it was going for about 900.00 more. I have also noticed a lot more TRF'ers are getting the call as availability seems to be better. What are your thoughts?

Agreed!!!
Much more prevalent these days, I flipped one 6 months ago and then again about 4 months ago and two AD's have called me since then offering a black and a white. I think the derth is over. I wouldn't be flipping right now in this economy anyway but given the recent availablity I wouldn't be buying one now unless I wanted to own it.

$11750 is still astronomical. You can pick up like new ones for under $10,000 now.

I have a rule for myself. I never pay over MSRP for ANY item. No matter if watches, cars, etc.

Daytonas are not fetching premium prices from the gray markets and ADs are having a little harder time finding buyers. Give it a few more years and we'll probably see the opposite of that especially with the possibility of a 50th anniversay version of the Daytona.

There's still a premium in the grey market here in Singapore but I hear that it's much narrower than before. ADs however, are still charging an exorbitant premium of about 50 per cent above MRSP.

..........however..... The Daytona badging of the Cosmo didn't start until about 1962.. It wasn't until much later that they all became known as the Daytona....So 50 years for the Daytona isn't until 2012. So, the question is....What would the anniversary model be.. ![]() ..........And when would you "celebrate" this..??? And even further...Why ????.. So far the GMT is the only one with a real ""anniversary" model, the solid gold '04 model with green dial. The LV was never an "anniversary" model, but only released "in celebration of 50 years of the Submariner"

LV , orange, purple.... I wouldn't mind any color for the anniversary edition as long as it had a DATE. I just sold mine and one of the reasons was that with advancing age, the DATE function is a necessity.
