Help needed,

I've purchased 3 watches from my AD in one year.
They know i wanted to buy a new white face Daytona but I was bidding on Rolex launching a new design which didn't happen.

I love Daytona just like most of you but a bit not excited spending 12 k for it.

I have to admit that for some reason Daytona is more available this year than any other(I could be mistaken).

What does the TRF guys think?

It's been readily available fo quite some time now and no, I wouldn't pay $12k for a Daytona.

I did in January and have regretted everyday since. Nice watch but not worth full boat MSRP. Buy from a trusted TRF reseller and save some serious coin!

Save the $12K and add to it for a Patek.

Nidal · 22 June 2013, 11:58 PM

I was asked to "make an offer"!
I was going to ask for 10% off.
I was given 8-10% off my previously purchased sport watches(sub LVc and GMT2c)?!!

Ask for 18% but try and settle on at least 15%

kcmo · 23 June 2013, 12:00 AM

Don't buy it unless you love it. It's an expensive piece, and a discount sure helps!

luvsub · 23 June 2013, 12:09 AM

The used one is somewhere between 10k to 11k, so if you can get 10% off, and find a way to avoid tax, it is still a pretty good deal. Otherwise check out sale forum, I am sure these trusted seller will have a good one for you. It is a beautiful watch, have to have one in your collection at one time at least. Good luck!

SohAIS · 23 June 2013, 12:19 AM

I would only buy it if you really love it. A 10% off would be cherry on top

joleel7 · 23 June 2013, 12:28 AM

If you don't really like pass it.. But if you think if you eventually would like to own one then get it now Rolex price only go up and up every year.

versatile1 · 23 June 2013, 01:51 AM

When I bought mine last July, I paid 9500 out the door.
Discounts can be had!!

That's a massive discount for any SS Rolex.

wctm68 · 21 October 2013, 02:36 AM

I routinely get 15% - 20% off from my AD. Guess I am likeable b/c I don't buy much from him...

I'm pretty sure that wasn't at Ben Bridge!

Well bought.

I still think the Daytona is the best looking watch Rolex makes.

X2.....Did the same thing, same price, (but already flipped it).

Billywiz · 23 June 2013, 01:59 AM

You will not get more that 10% off from new...grab it!

Jeez. I guess none of you negotiate for a living. You know the dealer discount is exactly 37% off and in this economy $12000 watches are not flying off the door.

Ask for 25% off, settle somewhere around 18, everyone goes home happy.

Edited to add: Never seen the attraction to the Daytona, I guess if you really like it then it's worth it.

Watchdog · 23 June 2013, 02:01 AM

I wouldn't buy it for 6000. Too small and boring.

Now the TT offerings, quite interesting.

Just my opinion.

Cheers!

Is the TT bigger?

Chewbacca · 23 June 2013, 02:10 AM

what are the other 3 you bought? i ask bc it may help determine whether your current watches reflect the style of a daytona. may be able to see if you'll keep it. example, if you have no pcls, you may not like the daytona. or if you like dive watches, you may not like the daytona enough to keep it (blah, blah, blah).

as for the price, for a rolex daytona, its average imo. nothing to rush in to. i would even go used bc most daytonas are babied and you could get one from a TS here for about $8.5 - $9.5k selling prices (not asking). less for 2t models.

good luck

Casey VP-26 · 23 June 2013, 02:19 AM

Offer the AD 9500, that's about 20% off.

All they can do is say No.

I agree, the AD did say make an offer...even if he goes to a 15% discount that's well bought for BNIB from an AD. Who knows, you may just get the 20%, it's not insultingly low..

Never hurts to ask. If they said make an offer that shows the willingness to work with you. Maybe they want to turn the inventory faster. They do have a quota to meet.

jackwebb · 23 June 2013, 05:48 AM

I wouldn’t pay retail for any Rolex there are plenty of smaller dealers out there that need the business. 12% or better on SS with no tax is about standard I have seen with out of state dealers and 25% or better on precious metal models. Walk in with cash... that always helps.

Passionata · 23 June 2013, 06:37 AM

Don t buy it if you don t like it ,you can get one anytime
