When the daytona II comes out will the original Daytonas go up or down in value? any thoghts?

karmatp · 6 September 2008, 06:15 AM

Not me, I would never pay above retail, and I have only paid MSRP one time and that was for a Milgauss GV.

I don't actually own a Daytona but I would never pay above MRSP for a watch that's currently in production - however 'rare' they may appear to be.
To each their own though.

I never pay retail If I want something, I find a colleague who has a store or access to what i want at a wholesale or dealer rate.

dickyb · 6 September 2008, 06:53 AM

i was asking above msrp and not below msrp...

Z-Sub · 6 September 2008, 07:39 AM

almost did but go a used one at retail plus tax price.

llamaofdoom · 6 September 2008, 10:41 AM

I've paid MSRP and above...just depends on what's needed and when. I flip watches as a hobby.

nickp · 6 September 2008, 10:50 AM

I paid MSRP for mine

Yes, sir. They've been trending down all year.

Out there, somewhere, there is a guy who lost his tail on houses and took his remaining money and bought Rolexes. :-)

If that happens, surely the value will go up IMO

marshallr47 · 6 September 2008, 01:09 PM

I have to admit, I did. Couldn't wait 2 years on a waiting list..at least that's what my AD told me. I'm very happy though and I guess that's what counts.

I think we're talking new here. Anything used could be all over the board depending on condition, how motivated the seller, etc.

I paid MSRP while it was still $7900.

Actually, I do know a guy in the trade here in Atlanta that was developing teardowns in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood and also selling watches.

He's pretty much screwed.

Why'd you buy five?

I was Extraordinarily lucky and paid MSRP, ($7900) at an AD, but was seriously considering paying more for one off the gray market. It's as Ron says, as long as you're happy it really doesn't matter

shoppy · 6 September 2008, 06:51 PM

I could never not get hold of a SS daytona and so went and purchased WG ones and never regretted it. So much better IMHO.

f16570 · 6 September 2008, 08:12 PM

White Gold Daytona Rocks.

Spark · 6 September 2008, 09:05 PM

I bought at MSRP £3670 at the time in December 2003 owned it for 3 1/2 years and sold it for well above MSRP £4950 in June 2006.
It doesn't get much better than that

gg922 · 7 September 2008, 12:49 AM

I bought mine at MSRP but they gave me a 300.00 watch winder as a gift.

Floridadogg · 7 September 2008, 01:16 AM

Paid msrp twice and sold one at a $1200 profit. Prices are soft right now. I would never part with my 116520 black face. Paying over msrp is no disgrace, but not for me.

BLM2 · 7 September 2008, 01:28 AM

Yes. Bought mine three years ago for current MSRP price. Wait at AD was 3-4 years. Way I look at it, I've enjoyed the watch for three years instead of waiting and ending up paying the same price.
