Hello From Northeast

Hello all.

First post, just joined the forum. I'm in the market for a Rolex Daytona. I have a beautiful Breitling flyback with a pearl face that I have owned for 14 years. I was always interest in the Daytona but could never convince myself to spend a lot of money for a watch. Especially with house repairs and kids schooling and my toys. Today I am at a more comfortable time in my life and now considering the purchase.

I looked at a new Daytona 116520 with a white face dial at my local authorized Rolex dealer and can get the watch for $12000. IS that a good price? I am just trying to get a pulse for the market and I see that used Daytona prices are going for close to new watch I looked at today.

Is there any year better than others? Should I not worry about saving a few $$$ and just buy new?

Thanks
GB

Welcome to the forum.

$11k or so is a good price for a great watch.
