Daytona white big jump

[shirtguy]

The ss Daytona has broken 30k
It seems that the white took the big jump

In the past the difference was at most 2k between the white and black

Now it seems almost 4 k

116500 black>116500 white
116520 white>116500 black

[shirtguy]

Yet the demand of the white has gone up

White to black was a difference of almost 2k

Now its almost 4k why the jump?

I actually don’t think people hate the black dial, I just think the black dial is ubiquitous in Rolex sport models, so the white dial is more uniquely Daytona. I imagine if there were more white dials in the sport lineup the black dial Daytona would be at least as popular as the white dial.

A 2018 116500 seems not to fetch as much. Why is that you think?

I think you're right.

For me, I like both dial versions of the SS. BUT, most of my watches are black dials so I would much prefer the white because I like a versatile collection so I have a watch for all moods and fits.

I would not turn down a black at retail though.....duh

The silver sub dials are what for me make it stand out. You point is very valid but I think the black looks so slick compared to the white. It just looks like such a luxurious finish.

Perhaps it too monochromatic and more people prefer the contrast of the white dial. All personal taste.

I don’t think everyone ‘hates’ the black dial - just more people prefer the white.

Personally, for that kind of money I would be looking to go the PM route.

116515LN with the Arabic dial would be my choice over either the white or black dial SS watches

Agreed! Plus you don't have to worry about the bezel getting scratched all to hell like the other models

My opinion is the opposite way round for both of these

Funny enough, I have same initials as you do (RTS} but, you're a bit confused and got it backwards!! 116500 White>116500 Black (no contrast, can't read a thing on it). 116520 Black>116520 White (boring silver sub dial rings......no pop to it). Oh yeah...the 16520 Zenith White>than all previously mentioned!!!!

All Daytonas are equal but some Daytonas are more equal than others.

Classic book.

The price hike is crazy

[BillA]

The price is going up because the grey market guys tell you it is going up.
They buy from flippers and horde. Unless you are a big whale at AD, you cannot get the SS Daytona.
Then, if you want it badly enough, you pay up.
If we keep buying at crazy prices, they will keep bumping the prices.
Next stop, $40K.......insanity

[Roger Lococco]

The price on the DSW white Daytona is high in part due to the face that it’s fully stickered.

Yall fall for this artificial market manipulation too easy.

But hey, i’d sell mine for 30k+ also if someone was actually _______ enough to buy it.

I don't think I'll sell mine until $40K. At $50K I'm surely out

[rambo99]

i bought my ss daytona 3 years ago and has been my daily watch since then. never considered selling it and just dont care the grey market price. a watch is for you to wear it, not an investment.
