Hi guys need some advice I have been offered daytona Paulnewman dial 116518 m serial for my ss daytona white dial v serial

+ £700 is it a good deal.

mpkRolex · 8 April 2010, 05:11 AM

It depends on your liking but I would go for it.

I like it in leather strap but some of my friends say that you will lose a lot when you ate selling it but ss daytona will get you yr money back when ever you sell it, but at this price I think I am getting the 116518 at almost half the price already!!!

116518 for ss daytona

rstein · 8 April 2010, 05:43 AM

Nope. I don't like leather bands.

Dr. Robert · 8 April 2010, 05:43 AM

I'd stick w/ your SS Daytona.

MikeJaye · 8 April 2010, 06:18 AM

I'd stick with the SS too as not a far of leather straps. Now if it was a gold bracelet that would be worth it...more bucks though.

jnmarshall · 8 April 2010, 06:29 AM

If it includes the solid gold bracelet as well then yes. I don't like the leather personally.

fleabag · 8 April 2010, 06:59 AM

Stick with S/S

Tools · 8 April 2010, 07:14 AM

This is a personal preference...

Some people like one, and some like the other.......... It becomes a pretty good price for a Gold Daytona though.........

TSW · 8 April 2010, 08:53 AM

I wouldn't do it!!

Welshwatchman · 8 April 2010, 08:59 AM

Would I swap a £6300 Daytona for a £13,000 Daytona? (Plus a handful of cash)

Hype for class?

Yes I would.

Welshwatchman · 8 April 2010, 09:03 AM

..... but then again I am biased.

so true. that is why it's hard to offer advice. i guess op has to decide when he compares both watches side by side.

NutNut · 8 April 2010, 12:36 PM

I'd go for it.

timeisfathaoftruth · 8 April 2010, 02:47 PM

I'd do it in a heart beat!

Starwalker · 8 April 2010, 02:51 PM

I know this is blasphemy on this discussion board, but I very much prefer my 116518 to either of my SS Daytonas.

It's just one of the classiest looking watches around and the leather strap is very comfortable. Sure, I don't wear it while exercising on hot humid days or for swims in the ocean, but it works for just about every other situation or occasion.
