Any thoughts on which Rolex holds it's value the best? I'd think it's probably the SS Daytona or SS Sub? I know you don't buy a watch as an investment...just curious what the group thinks.

mretzloff · 18 January 2009, 03:18 AM

The SS Sub. It's a classic and will never go away.

EDIT: I'd agree with you on the Daytona, but only for the short term. I think a lot of the Daytona is pure hype.

JohnEaton · 18 January 2009, 03:20 AM

SS Daytona

karmatp · 18 January 2009, 03:21 AM

I would say any SS sport model will hold it' value over time. The SS daytona is another one that has historically held it's value or appreciated.

Trurolexer · 18 January 2009, 03:22 AM

In my experience (I'm a Flipper), Subdate can hold the price more good.

Kokyuryoku · 18 January 2009, 03:24 AM

SS Sub Date

Really? I was first introduced to the SS Daytona back in 2000, and it's been at a premium for at least that long. Although in this economy maybe not so much anymore.

Nica64 · 18 January 2009, 04:00 AM

Sub Date

, I think the Daytona is all hype

cody p · 18 January 2009, 04:30 AM

the one that is considered most desireable. right now that's a daytona followed by the sub date.

Luv rolex · 18 January 2009, 05:54 AM

Guys who think its ss sub. Do u think it will be even after the new sub out??

Yes any of the sports vintage Rolex thats about the only Rolex I would call a investment and hold its value.Its doubtful if any modern day Rolex would be a investment well perhaps not for say around 40 odd years.But all the Rolex sports SS models today hold there prices well in the market when compared to other high end watches, same for watches from the Patek line up.

charliec · 18 January 2009, 06:14 AM

The one's in the AD's case !!!!

llamaofdoom · 18 January 2009, 07:03 AM

SS Daytona at list. Even now with the Daytona market deflating, the used models are retaining more of their % value to list than any other Rolex.

ss Sub date for sure.

Chozn1 · 18 January 2009, 12:25 PM

Like cars, the older classics. If you're wanting something you can get your money out of later I'd opt for a red sub or zenith daytona.

gtbike72 · 18 January 2009, 01:07 PM

the white face ss Daytona

oldrolex · 18 January 2009, 01:12 PM

black face Daytona

onkyo · 18 January 2009, 01:16 PM

Even in these hard times a SS Daytona is much better investment than most other Rolex's. Is like carrying cash.

jas55 · 18 January 2009, 04:57 PM

The Subs and GMT's hold their value pretty well I think. More so than the Explorers.

sea-dweller · 18 January 2009, 08:07 PM

SS Daytona, SS Sub-Date and SS GMT's.

kokovovoru · 18 January 2009, 08:12 PM

black faced daytona, just hard to find them at ADs these days!

chazha · 18 January 2009, 08:27 PM

depends where on earth. SS Daytona Black Face in HK would surely hold more value than Sub date

Red Devil · 30 January 2009, 06:23 AM

Black dial Daytona is slightly more valuable than the white here in the UK

learnmore60 · 30 January 2009, 06:33 AM

SS Daytona seems to be the one that has tested time!

vintage ones keep going up in value, and you cant ever get a discount of RSP

Klokke · 30 January 2009, 06:35 AM

The sub is great but the SS Daytona is the only current "grail" Rolex and has been for more than a decade. This is not hype. Hype is measured in months (e.g. Milgauss GV, SDDS) not decades (e.g. Daytona).

Sorry sub lovers. SS Daytona is king. It doesn't just hold its value. It appreciates more than any other Rolex model. Just check the big auction houses and compare prices. Even the current model SS Daytona can command a premium unlike ANY other current Rolex model.

A second hand purchased at the right price will most probably appreciate in value over a shorter period of time compared to one purchased at an AD!!
