No question - buy it.

What you do thereafter is up to you. Keep and enjoy or flip for some pocket money.

Go buy it and see if you fall in love with it.

I know you said you don’t want to flip but there are not many items you can make a nice penny on something without lifting a finger so it’s a good safety net.

At worst day you don’t like it sell it to DavidSW or another trusted seller they will buy in a heartbeat and it will be an easy transaction.

MMAAhh, there's about 10 in the show case: (in Zurich alone) 4 black dial, 6 white dial, take your pick!

They can't sell them anyway!

Every time I'm there they try to sell me one!

I have been there many times, my wife is Swiss from Lucerne, Bucherer Schwanenplatz have the better choice!

buy it, if you are against flipping, just sell it to one of us with the original purchase price. Then you won't be "flipping"

Well...if you've lost your passion for watches, you're probably in the wrong place asking for advice.

My advice would be to take some time and catch up on what's going on with Rolex and the Daytona in particular in the watch world before you go to the AD to try it on. Knowledge is power.

I went to the AD this morning with an open mind, not having made a decision (because clearly the best way to decide on a 10k+ watch purchase is a snap decision under the stare of a salesperson )
"So would you like to buy it?" she asks after I had it on my hands for a minute.
"Of course" replied the idiot without even hesitating.

So without further ado, here is my latest incoming!

Go try it on. If you like it, buy it. If not, just pass. No need to agonize over it.

Nope, I know that my dilemma may have appeared a bit strange to a lot of people, but it was 100% true.

Love this watch. Was never a Daytona fan until the ceramics came out. White ceramic definitely my top choice - very nice!

Good choice - you’ve just made one of life’s greatest decisions -

Life’s greatest decisions:

1. Seeing your first child born.
2. Picking up a white ceramic Daytona.
3. Seeing your second child born.
4. Getting married.
