This watch is the "dream watch" for many watch collector, and it's hard to get one. If I were you I would keep it.

If you really could use the money flip it, if not then keep it.

If you keep all the tags on, know that your SS Daytona is practically currency, if in the future you need money then you can easily get it.

mdx77 · 29 March 2008, 12:31 PM

If you really like the watch then keep it! Although, the market for that watch right now is HOT!!!! If you've got your eyes on something else, this would be the perfect time to flip. But IMHO, I'd keep it!

finance21 · 29 March 2008, 12:31 PM

Give it some time, you might find that you love the watch. If not, you can always sell a Daytona.

leethal21 · 29 March 2008, 12:31 PM

If you like it you should keep it.

If not you should flip it.

I could not part with my SD,

krattzz · 29 March 2008, 12:36 PM

My questions is how did you get this if you didn't really want it? Many are on a waiting list for this and the ones that really want it would never flip, nor ask the TRF community if they should.

I have a feeling I already know why you purchased this watch. If you keep it, wear it in good health but I have a feeling it will be sold rather soon. Some sucker will pay $12k for it....not me.

i tried to get one of these for 3 years at msrp and finally just gave up. every time i see a post saying "i got the call" i make a mental note and watch how long it is before it is for sale.

@ the op,

enjoy.

i got it because i am always pleasant to my AD, and thought it might be nice to have a SS watch.

Actually I was just discussing the alarming rate of phone calls that friends are getting from AD's about steel Daytonas.
At a recent watch show which I attend every two months usually some 50 steel Daytonas are on offer and most of them are finding new homes within one hour of trading.
This past show (2 weeks ago) the Chinese brotherhood towards the end of the show were selling at 10,500 dollars as there were not "takers" for the left overs and I am sure that few went back home with them.
It seems to me that money is getting tight even for desireable items like the steel Daytona.

If you don't like it and really need the extra cash....flip it!! As simple as that!!

And then get something you really like!!

wantonebad · 29 March 2008, 01:27 PM

You have my permission to flip it...
And I would be happy to be the person you flipped it too LOL!!!

East Bay Rider · 29 March 2008, 01:44 PM

It's a nice watch. If you don't need the money right away why not keep it. If you decide to wait, leave the tags on and watch it appreciate. Either way you can't go wrong.

Mark, how do you feel about the Daytona? Does it smile at you? Just curious.

GrandDaddy · 29 March 2008, 01:49 PM

Flipping and re-selling for a prorfit are two different things.

JJ flips his watches for another model (not to make money) when gets tired of them.

I think what you're really asking is if you should re-sell it for a profit.

Almost right there, my friend....except for my beloved BLUESY which was sold for cash only.....and you know why!!

watchlady · 29 March 2008, 01:51 PM

Did you buy it because you like it or because it's hard to get?
If you like it keep it, if not sell it and put the money you made toward something you like.

sphereman · 29 March 2008, 01:54 PM

well.. if you are not going to wear it, you should flip it.

i am interested in buying yours (since I've been looking to buy one for a long time to actually wear it).

You can PM me if you want to sell it for a little profit. I am a serious buyer but I can't afford to pay "too much".

timackerman · 29 March 2008, 02:01 PM

If you need the cash, then flip it.

Personally I would hold onto it and wear it! It is such a beautiful watch, as like so many others have said, it is difficult to get one, so you should be happy

CPCC · 29 March 2008, 02:16 PM

If you are asking the question it means that you want to flip it. Just list it on the sales forum and please move on. No one on this side can tell you what you like or dont. But keeping the tags and all on means only one thing.

Trurolexer · 29 March 2008, 08:55 PM

Why you bought it, if you don't really like it?

mdtddd2007 · 22 April 2008, 06:04 AM

Like everyone said. If you don't need the money than keep it. It's a hot watch everyone wants as a collector. I am still waiting for mine. Good luck in your decision.

So what's a "fair" market price for a Daytona?

For the SS Daytona....and brand new? I would reckon around US$9K!!

Gaijin · 29 March 2008, 02:35 PM

MSRP is $9200 I think.
