The price is pretty comparable with the other models.

The price is high one of the reasons is that people are willing to pay that much

Rolex watches are not the cheapest brand in the market.

You must not know anything about the Daytona market and prices

Nobody said Rolex are the cheapest brand

The crazy price tag is because a singer said he likes it

I know a little about the Rolex which includes a model called Daytona.

John Mayer is well known amongst the Rolex "fraternity" but is not that much of a popular singer outside of the USA and international Rock fans.
That does not account for the popularity. Paul Newman probably has had more of an effect. He is very well known internationally. The sale of one of his watches for an obscene amount had a huge effect on the watch popularity. sales and requests went mad after the sale was publicised.

The OP said the prices were "crazy" I was just commenting on the "Crazy" terminology.

It's a nice watch, people want that watch, it got popular, now demand exceeds supply, end of story.
