How much would you guys pay for a vintage Rolex Cosmograph Daytona with a dented bezel, a blemished dial, and no bracelet, a watch which can be brought back from the heap at under $2,000.00 in cosmetics plus box, etc? How daring are you?

All depends on which model AND what dial.

Even with all those "blemishes", the price may still shock you.

And this would be many years ago, went for $5K with no bracelet, dial damage, movement not working, scuffed crystal and stripped threads on the case back. I took a 10% fee for moving the watch between two wholesalers.

I'm sure the same watch would command $15-20K today. Seriously.

Just saw a '70's Paul Newman Daytona in pristine condition for sale in Beverly Hills. Asking $120,000.- Larry.

Yep! And with box & papers...............oh boy !

The PN is a dream watch, but with the volumes of fakes around, I think that it's a mine-field.

So many variations of the dial makes it too difficult to verify unless you are not only a seasoned collector but also handled many of them too.

Rolex cannot AND will not authenticate them.
