I'm in the business of making money as well and if I have a choice of all out taking advantage or being reasonable and some what fair, reasonable wins every time

The free market way--all it takes is one willing buyer and one willing seller. Whether David gets his price or not, I don't have a problem however he decided to set his price. (Though I won't be buying).

teo · 15 May 2016, 04:20 AM

It makes me think 116520 daytona is a better buy.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so it's all fine and nothing to be scared of.

^^^^this, not only is he a business man he's a stand up guy

Javier2.0t · 15 May 2016, 04:51 AM

He can set whatever price he wants for it. I even hope someone buys it full price. They're going to be the fools not him.

Bingo...

Kudos DavidSW

RolexAuthority · 15 May 2016, 04:53 AM

Lucky Phillips auction isn't selling it it'll be 100k

Justinmg · 15 May 2016, 04:56 AM

It's crazy how much over msrp it is but I agree supply and demand. That's like getting mad at the price of a vintage Rolex, how much are people willing to pay over original msrp

RichM · 15 May 2016, 05:00 AM

All I can say is I'm glad I'm not in a rush.

Vivalas · 15 May 2016, 05:10 AM

I wouldn't pay that but if someone is willing to pay it then that's up to then. Also if you're in business and you can get that price then why not sell it for that.

David SW is not thinking 'I can get 21k but I'll sell it for 16k'.

ronricks · 15 May 2016, 05:20 AM

No point in buying SS at that price point. Might as well go PM.

VinnieVegas · 15 May 2016, 05:38 AM

Now, that's pricey!

Narbeh · 15 May 2016, 05:39 AM

Daytona is not worth a penny more than msrp.

kilyung · 15 May 2016, 05:44 AM

The fact that he didn't post it on TRF should say something.

jbenjamin1 · 15 May 2016, 05:48 AM

lol now I don't mind paying the $868 tax

DavidSW has made me a happy customer on more than a few occasions so more power to him on his sale.

henry333 · 15 May 2016, 05:49 AM

Supply and Demand. Right now , high demand and no supply

So that ceramic bezel cost around 8k$ over the non upgraded SS Daytona

Either he got paid more for it or the guy on the street/first on list resold it to David

TheVTCGuy · 15 May 2016, 06:01 AM

I don't blame David a bit... ESPECIALLY since he is giving me this one at a 25% discount... Off of MSRP

Now don't deny it David, either that or those pictures of you in a dress go up on the Internet!

kaiserphoenix · 15 May 2016, 06:03 AM

Davidsw is an awesome business. I have bought numerous watches from him and every time is perfect at amazing prices. It is not charity, it is market forces simple as that. Rolex themselves know this. If it's too high don't buy it.

Good for David! Someone who really wants one right now can buy it and that is a good thing for both parties.

Good news for many is that the white dial wears big for a Daytona, felt like a true 40mm. Me and the salesman couldn't believe we were talking about a "big" Daytona, esp as AP is his fav brand. I took a lot of pics, will put them up later.

That's fantastic Neil, I'd love to see your pictures

Appreciate your thoughts as well on the white vs. The black face and how the two wear

jrs146 · 15 May 2016, 06:16 AM

If it were me I would do what the AD's are doing. I would sell it to my best client for a "fair" markup. And win back the extra in more business and referrals.
