Rolex Daytona Ceramic White

[Rick_Nashville]

Lots of reasoned, heartfelt responses here--on both sides. Just a thought. How many times have we read impassioned stories here of enthusiasts spending lots of money at an AD only to have them go out of business, or lose their Rolex distributorship. So much for 'that' relationship and the dreams of getting a Daytona. On the other hand, I know that relationships can pay off. After being a steady customer for 6 years, I was offered a beautiful black-dial 116500 by my AD in Dec. of 2016, some 8 months after the watch debuted at Basel.

By the way, of the Daytona C prices seen in recent months on the secondary market, the one quoted in this thread by the original poster seems like a bargain. If the watch & paperwork are legit, and the seller has a verifiable track record, I would say 'go for it'. There are too many top-tier athletes, actors, & musicians in big cities to compete with, lol. Just one word of caution. Don't try to avoid the sales tax. Buy the watch in person, and take it with you. There was a case reported here recently of someone being offered two Daytona ceramics, and then 'pushing the envelope' by asking them to be shipped out of state. When the shipment arrived, there were no watches, only a mailing label. Ouch. And I'm not sure if this was ever resolved. This could have been so easy to avoid.

Good luck and keep us updated! Regards, -Rick.
