A trusted seller here has two diamond dial platinum Daytonas for sale. Both are new, one has stickers intact. The price difference is $4,000!

Wow. I wish I had enough money to think, "Ya know, for an extra $4k I could pull those pesky little stickers off myself! What the heck!"

THC · 6 January 2019, 11:42 PM

That seller is nice enough where one could ask him, I bet, but yes wow, big diff for same BNIB model

JonnyH83 · 6 January 2019, 11:50 PM

That seems a little excessive if both are BNIB.

To be honest though - nothing shocks me anymore in the world of Rolex.

So are you saying the next new Rolex I buy, I can sell a complete set of stickers for $4K???

Wow!

oldman2005 · 7 January 2019, 01:13 AM

I always thought those stickers worth something ie "BNIB full stickers and coffin..."

the smell of a new watch

datejustrms · 7 January 2019, 06:10 AM

I guess when you spend that kind of money for a watch what's another 4k?

shaunylw · 7 January 2019, 07:01 AM

Stickers make a huge difference if you are sticking it in a safe for 30 years. Outside of that, it’s absurd. Unworn is unworn.

Stickers and the fact you can no longer get a Rolex with stickers unless you find a “cheating” AD.

it seems like a strategy to help sell the watch without stickers.

Not worth it for platona. Maybe for the rainbow.

Yeo, nope, won't pay a premium for stickers ever.

rolexdream · 7 January 2019, 10:08 AM

Good luck to him getting a sale! Have to be really stupid to pay 4k above for stickers

Nikrnic · 7 January 2019, 10:20 AM

So if it doesn't have stickers we should assume it's not really BNIB otherwise why would stickers mean anything. Just saying there's BNIB and then there is Unworn, or not? (destickered)

Sounds like we found someone who’s ok with the $4,000 sticker premium.

Vaxe · 7 January 2019, 10:55 AM

The one without sticker is probably not unworn. I’ve been seeing a lot of sellers here polish used watches. Almost every one of them has a watch guy they contract out to when an used watch comes in - inspect, clean, polish.

I remember trading my Daytona in used condition to a trusted seller here - 2 weeks later it shows up as “unworn” condition with all my swirls on the PCL nicely polished out. Couldn’t polish out that lil dent on the lug side tho, but still a unbelievable job

codecow · 7 January 2019, 10:56 AM

Anything more than 3999$ is an outrage!

Okay, calm down everyone. We got the solution right here. Just buy a roll of one of these and the problem is solved!

Great. So now potential buyers have to determine if they are Factory stickers or aftermarket

This was all posted in jest, but I imagine you are right -- either trying to make the un-stickered new one look like a bargain (it is now more from a TS than ADs were selling them for two years ago), or to leave a lot of wiggle room (ok, I'll sell you the much better one with STICKERS for the oh-so-low non-stickered price).

envuks · 7 January 2019, 12:17 PM

I don't understand the beef here. There are two and a buyer would get to choose which one they preferred. That seems great to me.

A seller can ask any price on any item they wish. Buyers can negotiate. This all seems basic

It was obviously said in jest, but they are priced around $10-15k below MSRP (depending on whether you want the stickers or not).
