Have a deal pending for BNIB steel daytona, white face for $7K+ 2011 DJII. I feel it's fair, but seeing some of the sale prices on here for both I wonder if I could have done better by $2K.

Thanks!

To me it seems like a really high price. I doubt I would have gone for NIB however. Congratulations on the new Daytona!!!

powerfunk · 13 December 2014, 05:35 AM

Yep, you probably could've done better by $1.5-2k, but if you're trading it into a brick-and-mortar AD you're paying for convenience; nothing wrong with that. AD's pay about $7,500 for a SS Daytona so they're basically getting your DJ2 for $500.

Congrats on the Daytona, though!

GolfPunk · 13 December 2014, 05:38 AM

No!!

Your DJ II is about $6000

Daytona about $11500

Trade your DDII plus $5500 Maximum in my opinion.

KBM · 13 December 2014, 05:41 AM

Which version of the DJii? If it's a smooth bezel one, I'd say the deal seems about right (used DJII + 7k for a BNIB 116520).

Bumble-Ski · 13 December 2014, 05:41 AM

Thanks, but where could I buy Daytona for better rate? Even on this forum I see $10.500 for 2010/2011. And ~4,500 for DJII. All advice welcome and thank you!

You would do better to sell the DJII privately and buy the Daytona, but, a trade at an AD has the advantage of convenience (which comes at a steep price).

Urosfan · 13 December 2014, 05:54 AM

If its the fluted bezel dj
Then thats to much

Bumble-Ski · 13 December 2014, 05:55 AM

Yes, smooth bezel. From what I see here, used daytonas are ~$10.5. And the DJII in $4's, maybe $5. That's why I was thinking new. Can AD discount daytona?

Sounds a little steep

Lgear080 · 13 December 2014, 05:59 AM

Not a good deal nor one you should make w an AD...

Try one of our sellers

Grail · 13 December 2014, 06:21 AM

Definitely go private with the sales if possible. It may take longer, but if you can wait a couple weeks it will be worth your while.

Personally I don't buy new Rolex, because of the immediate loss in value. Another option might be a NOS Daytona if you can find one

Investr · 13 December 2014, 06:24 AM

Fluted bezel= you got screwed!
Smooth bezel= you probably paid a little too much

RUK · 13 December 2014, 06:59 AM

That's not a fair deal at all

Wllnv19 · 13 December 2014, 07:17 AM

Remember someone will always say you could have done better, all that matters is if you are happy with your deal...if you are make it, and don't give it a second thought.

Rolex addict · 13 December 2014, 07:33 AM

Should have called DavidSW first.

mfnj · 13 December 2014, 07:37 AM

If you haven't finalized the deal, I think you can do better on both sides as others have said. If you have already completed the deal, sit back and enjoy your new daytona and don't worry about it!

tylerad1 · 13 December 2014, 08:03 AM

Wow....seems pricey

Bumble-Ski · 13 December 2014, 08:12 AM

I'm still open to discussion if any AD would like to connect.

maybe you missed something

re-read some of the posts

go to the Rolex Classified Forum on this site

Find any of the trusted sellers (you can go to the who's who forum to find out)

Contact them and see what they can do for you

Good Luck

landroverking · 13 December 2014, 08:21 AM

I have to agree here with most. Seems too high.

jrgannon · 13 December 2014, 08:23 AM

Age old argument of convenience vs maximizing value

NKflyer · 13 December 2014, 08:26 AM

Even if you sell the watch yourself here on the forums, you're only going to get maybe $5500-5700. The AD price of the daytona is 12k plus tax so I really don't think their $7k offer was that bad for a brick & mortar store.

If you can sell the DJ2 yourself and buy new daytona from a grey dealer here on the forums, you might whittle the difference down to $5k.

Trading the DJ2 against the daytona with a trusted seller here on the forum will probably land you somewhere in the middle. My 2¢.

toph · 13 December 2014, 08:27 AM

No way IMHO .but its your money and watch. So your choice.

Duey · 13 December 2014, 08:33 AM

It sounds like you pretty much have yourself set on the deal. So what are you asking us ?

Bumble-Ski · 13 December 2014, 08:50 AM

Insight was great and appreciated. I'm comfortable with deal, not ecstatic. buying daytona was easy part of decision. Selling DJ vs trade was where I struggled. Without lots of positive feedback I would hesitate buying used watch - and believe the market would shy from interest on my sale.

Could have done better 1-2k. That dj ii smooth bezel does get boring after a short while. I understand why you would want to trade. It's plain Jane.

porschejeff · 15 December 2014, 12:49 AM

I traded a TT DJ and $4K for mine a year or so ago.

globalmedia33 · 15 December 2014, 01:42 AM

No, It's not a fair deal. It's a rip off deal.

brettpaul · 15 December 2014, 04:17 AM

Like most, I find the price a bit too steep...try DavidSW mate!
