Daytona SS price check

I've recently noticed a few Daytona SS that haven't sold here in the forum. I am cnsidering a purchase of a BNIB SS wth all the stickers still on including all bxes and papers. MSRP is $ 12,295, how much of a discount should I expect? Daytonas are still very desirable, if only a small discount is available shoud I just purchase from an AD?

Have a wonderful day.

The amount of discount on the Daytona is up to your bargaining skills and watches like the Daytona are only desirable if you want to own one and wear it.

I think there is still a strong demand for the ss daytona. I have seen every other rolex watch at my local AD's but have never seen a steel daytona in the display case

You can get plenty like new condition ss daytonas for around 10-11k from the trusted dealers in the for sale section. Its tougher to get discounts at the AD, really depend on where you live.

I'd find a barely used example here and save a few bucks. Stainless Daytonas are not rare today despite what others (read: ADs) tell you.

OP didnt ask if they were rare. OP wanted a price check

$12000 plus tax BNIB from an AD is about right

discount minimal BNIB from an AD. David SW is selling for $12275.00 BNIB

used? $11000 plus easy

Purchased one from an AD in May 2013. Price was $12,000 out the door, and they discounted the watch so that the price included the 8.25% sales tax.

Perhaps the price on david's website are not the same as his prices on here. Also i assume that on his website he's including the use of credit cards to purchase so expect higher $$$.

i can only comment on what i see. i am also unaware of the fact that one must 'negotiate' with a non AD.

Bob's Watches has about 17 pre-owned 116520 (both Black and White faced) for around $10,200 listed on their website. As others have said, I bet you could get a better deal with Trusted Sellers.

$10200 is a fantastic price for a preowned SS daytona

trusted sellers arent 'giving away' rolexes because your a 'member'

another 'prominent' dealer as popular if not more than david sw is selling a preowned for $10000. thats about the going rate.

i would check a lot of things before i bought that watch at 10k.

there are a lot of factors that determine pricing. no one is giving away anything, and that includes $200.

i get it. there are different levels of 'pre-worn'. in general however $10000.00 will get you a mint SS Daytona.

you apparently get the lowest deal around always. I know a few of those guys

12K is the AD price for new Daytona SS. Good luck getting a discount, I was only able to get tax included for 12...

Yeah depends on where you are. I know some dealers in Singapore charging over the retail price for the black dial version. Personally I think it should be discounted maybe 10%-15% off retail.
