Daytona Price Surge!

David SW has a white dial Daytona, 116500, listed at $39,575!
Black dial is a bargain at $36,575:)
This is insane...

Of course prices are going up!!! White dial was discontinued? Wait, not discontinued. Doesn’t matter anyway.

Rolex publicity will be sky high over the next couple of weeks. Time to cash in!

Go David go!!! #teamDSW

Is the black dial anywhere as difficult to get from the AD?

If I list my Daytona for $100,000 does that mean the price is surging?

YES
You understand that listing something and selling something are two completely different things, right? You don't know any of the details of the final price that is agreed upon between David and the eventual buyer.

I swear we get a new daily price thread about Davidsw Daytonas increases....

You don't want to look on that Facebook Moda Watch Group... those are even more insane. Prices are above $40,000. At this point, it really doesn't matter because it's all insanity.

No, it means you are not DavidSW who makes his living in this market. If you list yours for $100 K it simply means you you are not serious about wanting to sell your Daytona.

Hope that helps.

In my experience (and I’m sure many others), DavidSW asking price is VERY close to the actual selling price. If someone else with a purchase history from them has had a different experience please weigh in.

One poster in the other thread came out and said he bought the last one from David for the (I think) ~39k listed price. They are definitely selling.

I don't disagree with you, but lets take out the top 10 most desirable watches and im sure the price listed is close to the sale price. I would love for someone to honestly tell us the bought a daytona for 40K. I agree a list price and sold price are different.

Now that the Daytona isn't being discontinued why not a price reduction.....We all want these watches for different reasons, but i'd rather spend my time building a relationship with the AD, and use the 20 grand on items to support them over buying an inflated price.

my 2 cents

Yes was just going to mention this.

End of the day the task of getting a Daytona from AD means likely spending 1000s and 1000s over time. It is probably cheaper to buy grey for 40k. Not always I accept. But for many it would be. Plus it will be on your wrist instantly.

If a Nautilus is worth 100k. I don’t see why a Daytona will not reach 50k plus. Different watch yes but most popular sports watch for each brand. Trying both in same store years ago I preferred a Daytona!

Really? The black dial isn’t as popular? I always thought it was the other way around.


In that case, I’ll drop by the AD and pick one up. I’m hoping I can get a 15% discount but since it’s a Daytona... I’ll probably just get 10% off. Damn ADs and their games....

The Daytona is unique, it carry’s a level of cache rarely seen in sports watches. I wouldn’t bet against it.
