My local ad has new ss daytona fs

[watchnut]

[I figured I could buy a couple more vintage GMT's for that kind of cash. Although the vintage market has settled down, the Rolex retail market is going crazy with the high prices. If a dealer isn't discounting new watches, I don't see how they will survive. [/QUOTE]

You don't suppose the government is going to have to step in and bail them out?

[tphan]

I still would buy it.

Best looking chronograph watch Rolex ever made...and history.

Even the european market was unstable

Only germany had prices similar to the greek market

[taylor]

for the new price, it better have the gmtIIc clasp

[mtgmt]

the Market was up 410 points today?? You guys must have delayed quote service.......hehehe

I think an AD would get in hot water with RolexUSA to do a sale over the phone. Rule is to be face to face, no sales over the phone.
Isn't that so?

I've done deals over the phone with AD's....most won't allow it, but some do.

[Wolfgang427]

It's the economy plain and simple. If the economy was better like last year at this time you would have a tough time finding a Daytona at any AD period.

X2
Its the people's lack of confidence in the market.

[normandy]

I stil don't see a daytona at AD. everytime i ask, they give me a funny look.

[learnmore60]

I was in Jakarta a week ago and saw...

1 x White Face SS Daytona
1 x Black Face SS Daytona

in Rolex dealer store at MSRP!

PM me if anyone interested... looks like the market is getting bad - if i'm seeing ss daytonas on display at retail price!

Also saw two agents in Singpaore selling the SDDS at retail price! - again PM if interested...

Now you can walk into an AD,, get a SS daytona in YOUR name with a bonifide warranty for $9925 and there are no takers.

Easy, it was the thrill of the chase IMO.

[GMTcrazy]

Don't bother calling this dealer if your out of state, they will not ship. Only in-store sales.

I see SS Daytonas at ADs all over Chicago no shortage here.

At MSRP?

yup, mostly. I think most of the ADs have come to there senses to keep the lights on and the door open.

[RsqVet]

Is it possible there is an alternate reason here.... That rolex has shifted focus due to their observations of the economy.

My point is thus, if they make X daytona movements a year they can case them however they want to; while many of us can not simply buy a SS Daytona at the drop of the hat, it is within reach or financing or whatever.... while a gold / lepoard whatever is well beyond many esp. in this economy.

So if I were Rolex I'd start throwing the 4130 in as many SS cases as I thught I could move given the historic backlog for this watch and be happy to simply be moving product.

So they are flooding certain markets
they manipulate supply in others
they forecast international exhange
and pre-arrange pricing, etc. etc.

In other markets it is the economy slowing down,
in the area of Athens where I live, my local Rolex agent NEVER had one available.
Now he has a white one in the window for 11.000 euro..!!!..
He Pays 8500 euro for it which includes 19% VAT

and Tourneau here in the good old U.S. of A. is charging $17.000 "BECAUSE is RARE".
..ha ha ha ha ha ..they are such idiots.

Me too. No luck at all.

[Dr.B]

I am new to the forum so good day to all.
I am interested in a NEW SS 2008 Rolex Daytona white face.
Nervous about deals "on Line"
I have been talking to a guy "Fellyjr", looks respectable. However, still nervous about wire transfers to someone I have never met.

If anyone knows of an AD with one please let me know.
Thank you.....Dr.B

~Scott

2nd here scott....for a $10k watch probably ill just buy 1 sub and 1 gmt IIc pre owned...

A few weeks ago the GV seemed to be "flooded" - now the Daytona seems to be flooded. Wonder if it will be the same situation in 30 days?

[marshallr47]

That's a nice gesture. Hopefully someone can partake.

[walds11]

It may appear to be flooded, but it's not in my opinion. There seems to be less demand since the last two price increases and the rough US economy. People are passing when they get the call, thus the decreased demand.

I bought one in May at the prior price of $9,200. Doubt I would pick one up at the new price of $9,925.

[ROLEX MAN]

I think things in general are slowing down even "DAYTONA'S"

[newrolexman]

Talk about suppy and demand working.

Swiss Lux is now selling new white face SS daytonas on their site at a wire price of $10,180.

Now I know the economy is in a real slump!

They were close to $13,000 a year ago when the retail was $7900.

Economic theory at its best!
