I have the chance to pick up a used Rolex Daytona #116520 in excellent used condition here locally.

No box or papers, I do know that it is 100% authentic.

My cost $7,500.00

Is this a good deal or not?

Thanks...

If you pass, let a fellow Coloradan know!

Thaiguy · 10 January 2012, 03:41 PM

That is a great deal. I hope that you get it!

Mike, it looks like we have couple members from the Mile-high city on TRF.

As long as it's authentic and not a "hot" piece then it's

7.5 no box or papers would make me really seriously nervous, he could have done thousands better.

Either he's not aware of value, or he loves you, or there was a reason he had to sell it that cheap as watch only.

Gaijin · 10 January 2012, 04:21 PM

Please make sure that it is real before you buy it. Please....

rr-nyc · 10 January 2012, 04:55 PM

That's a great deal... It's practically too good. It's authentic and in excellent condition?

petesjag · 10 January 2012, 05:40 PM

If its in great shape then get it now!!!!

Puffy · 10 January 2012, 06:28 PM

that's a good price if you don't mind the lack of b + p

improviz · 11 January 2012, 01:44 AM

Great deal assuming everything is original/authentic and nothing (links, etc.) is missing, but unless this is someone you know well and trust intimately, insist on taking it to an AD and getting it authenticated as part of the deal....with that, it's a fantastic deal, jump on it.

GlobalGooch69 · 11 January 2012, 01:47 AM

its probably stolen at that level.

Mickey® · 11 January 2012, 01:49 AM

What's his number?
LOL Just kidding...

Go for it!

Ck8 · 11 January 2012, 09:28 AM

These days you probably can get a brand new one at retail.

Art 1 · 11 January 2012, 09:31 AM

Yes.

mrbill2mrbill2 · 11 January 2012, 09:35 AM

As previously stated. Unless you know and trust the seller $7,500 makes me real nervous.

SoftwareDrone · 11 January 2012, 09:38 AM

That is a horrible deal!! He's just trying to rip you off.

Give me his contact information so I can... uhh... tell him off!!

Porsche · 11 January 2012, 09:45 AM

for peace of mind, suggest going to an AD for verification... see if he gets cold-feet!

Bargain or not, $7.5K is still a lot of money to lose...

nauticajoe · 11 January 2012, 09:53 AM

Be careful....Good luck!

coloradogps · 11 January 2012, 10:58 AM

He said no problem taking it to the local AD.

Make sure th AD knows what's what ... Some couldn't spot a fake any better than a man off the street.

Speed · 11 January 2012, 11:29 AM

Hmm

TempoKing · 11 January 2012, 11:39 AM

Even the "killer" used Rolex watch price guides say $7500

Honest Dealers will pay easy 8400...so you got a good deal.

Of course a watchmaker familiar with original Rolex movements
should pop the back open and see inside - then - if all ok - ask the seller to
give you a signed receipt with the Reference and serial and then you
are good to wear...you got yourself a good deal..

subtona · 11 January 2012, 11:45 AM

strike while the iron is hot.

to make sure its authentic, tap it and test that it has that annoying ball bearing rattle.

dsio · 11 January 2012, 11:51 AM

Is the AD going to run the serial number against the sticky fingers list?

crowncollection · 11 January 2012, 02:39 PM

great deal

coloradogps · 12 January 2012, 02:58 PM

I am going to bring this to the AD tomorrow.

Will post photos.

coloradogps · 14 January 2012, 01:03 AM

Brought it to the local Rolex dealer and the watch is 100% authentic.

Here are some photos. Sorry for cell phone quality.

Thanks for all your help on this.
