Welcome to TRF Kieran regarding your question first finding a Daytona at list price is going to be hard to do.With some long waits from Ads,and grey market prices are still very high over list price.Anything at this present time Daytona will sell without any problems.Now most of the Rolex sports range, tend to hold there resale price a bit better that other models.But out of all the brands out there, Rolex seems to hold there price better than most.

Welcome to TRF, kieran There is a large price difference between the two models you've mentioned. I would have to say that the Daytona would demand a higher resale value than the Datejust. Good luck in the acquisition, and do let us know how it turns out

Hi Kieran,
Welcome to TRF. The TT Daytona is definitely cheaper and easily available as compared with the SS Daytona. By the same token, resale value of the TT is not very good; so if you plan on buying one, then you might have to decide to hold on to it. Cheers - JJ

If you decide on genuinely keeping the watch, then there are some superb TT ones to choose from with an array of different dials. Also, the ADs would be more flexible on discounts with the TT model. Good luck and do keep us posted. Thanks - JJ

While the SS model is very attractive, I'd much prefer the TT with all those solid gold links and the SAME 4130, 44-jewel superb movement. JJ

Thanks, kieran.
Love Dublin! My wife and I stayed in one of the dorms of Trinity College the last time we were there. We have friends in County Donegal, and spend a lot of time there when we visit!

What's the matter? Don't you know where you are? Check your plane ticket. If it's used, you're there. If not, you haven't left yet.
