So many Daytonas. AD in Singapore

Walked pass a famous AD in Singapore Chinatown district, they only have two big displays and one is full with Daytonas, except the SS C of course. I didn't take too many photos since I'm afraid they will yell at me lol, some of the older staff here can be a bit on the rude side. But the other display is full of Daytonas TT and Subs TT as well.

Again sorry for the bad pic, tried to take photo secretly.



Zoom in ones

these are easily available and not very sought after.

Agree. I called up one AD out of curiosity to see how much an Oysterflex is going for and the guy asked what time can you come in? I can work with you on the price.

Thanks for posting.

So sad isn’t it? Rolex make so many unwanted Daytona’s...but hold back (artificially) on the desired confirmation.

I surely wouldn’t buy one of these as a consolation.

Someone eventually has to buy up all those unwanted models displayed there otherwise the popular models won't move

Thanks for the post - and I would say you are right - there are few AD’s around the world with that many Daytona’s on display.

For some, the reason is security - they keep many in the safe. For others, they just don’t have the inventory.

Exactly, that's why I posted the pic. I haven't check all ADs obviously, but this is the only AD that I saw have full lineup of the OF on display.

A reseller perhaps?

At any rate, it’s still unfortunate that people who want a product - can’t get it.

All of those are in most ADs I've walked into.

These are not rare or hard to get anywhere, from my experience.

This is where the reseller takes a bunch of those unwanted daytonas together with the SS Daytona hence the AD will always tell u theres no stock but at the same time u find this particular AD stamped warranty card matching an overpriced SS Daytona sold online by the reseller

I think price wise also good. I’m not sure other pieces but I did ask the WG and its S$36K while on Rolex website it’s S$38K
