Is $9850 a good price for BNIB Rolex Daytona White?

Hi Everyone,

I have a chance to buy a BNIB White Daytona V series for $9850. What do you think of the price? Warranty card is dated Feb 2010. All plastics in place. Never sized.

Thx,

Brian

It's below new and old MSRP. I think it's a good price!

Pull the trigger if you like the Daytona. Do not buy it because of the price.

Well, value is important to me in case I want to sell in the future.
Another option is to buy a pre owned mint one for 9400.

Thx for the replies!

Then definitely buy pre-owned. Screw buying BNIB. Let someone else take the initial hit.

There are two different clasps used on the V serials. Something to consider since the GMT IIc style is more current(and valuable).

There's no "initial hit" with a Daytona. They hold their value or rise in value.

Plus, BNIB from an AD means you know what you are getting is real and the warranty is in your name. Totally worth it.

It's a good price. I think the new clasp is a good improvement which will hold it's value. However, you won't go wrong with the mint one at 9400 either. Regardless of your choice, post pics when you get it...

If you are already looking at resale, 9,400 and 9,800, pay the extra $400 and you are the first owner. If you resell it will look better....

Otherwise, take your time. You have the funds, the price is lowering on these!

Yes it is absolutely a good deal. I say go for it if you are able.

The price is right if the watch is authentic.

Price sounds about right, definitely not a steal but not a price you should regret paying. The SS White Dial Daytona is a beauty and you'll forget what you paid when the watch smiles back at you on your wrist.
