Ad is offering to me at 10800 brand new box papers my name on warranty card, etc... What to do...

Is it a good buy? Long term what are the possibilitys of thinking of it as an investment...

Thoughts are appriciated

chrisrolexguy · 28 August 2015, 01:39 AM

Or a new exp1 for 5050

What is the long term possibility on that?

Jack T · 28 August 2015, 01:42 AM

That's a good price on the Explorer, can't say for the Daytona. What do you mean by 'the long term possibility'?

chrisrolexguy · 28 August 2015, 01:49 AM

Long term as in if I hold onto for years and sell down the road...

Ya 5050 is a wonderful price thinking about it...

Fleetlord · 28 August 2015, 01:49 AM

Both strong prices..

tkerrmd · 28 August 2015, 01:50 AM

going AD price is 12k so...

long term doubt will get more for it, but it certainly will hold good value

slomo · 28 August 2015, 02:13 AM

$10800 price for brand new Daytona is a great deal!

chrisrolexguy · 28 August 2015, 02:18 AM

Yes I feel that way too... Unfort at the moment I have to finance but interest free for 12 months...

I just don't want Rolex to raise prices, which I'm sure will happen sooner than later

beer · 28 August 2015, 02:15 AM

i would buy both as they are both great prices and you will not lose much

watchwatcher · 28 August 2015, 02:15 AM

Both good prices....what are you waiting for?

toneafficianado · 28 August 2015, 02:22 AM

go for the Daytona asap.

jp1316 · 28 August 2015, 02:25 AM

Good deal. Just paid retail, $12k. 10% off is good for a SS model.

REFZ · 28 August 2015, 02:29 AM

AD's normally don't offer any discount on the Daytona so it's a good price for buying at an AD.

jjnd08 · 28 August 2015, 02:32 AM

As an investment, it's most likely horrible.

You are being offered a good price, and shouldn't lose much if you decide to flip it.

But didn't you post a thread not too long ago about how you can't wait until you can afford an AP?

At almost $11k, you are getting close to being able to get a 15400 BNIB if you can find a good discount. $11k and some change will get you a used one from a Trusted Seller.

chrisrolexguy · 28 August 2015, 02:40 AM

True that's what I was going to say... I don't think I could comfortably wear the ap all the time as I would be in fear of damaging it... I will get it eventually..

The Daytona seems like a good deal, but I've had 2 and flipped and also had an exp1... Exp is the best wear and tear watch...

You aren't giving the RO enough credit. It's tougher than you think. I wore a Daytona almost exclusively for 18 months, and I have worn a RO now daily for almost a month and a half. I think the PCLs on the Daytona show scratches more than the RO does.

The RO just hurts more because a scratch can be seen going against the grain, and the cost of the piece. But not wanting one because you are afraid of it getting damaged is like not dating a supermodel because you are afraid of other guys hitting on her.

robbonds · 28 August 2015, 03:23 AM

I wouldn't buy a bnib SS Daytona right now...new ceramics are coming...will you be upset you don't have the new and improved?

I'd guess we are still years away from that (if ever). We haven't even had a YG or WG ceramic one yet.

robbonds · 28 August 2015, 03:32 AM

true..but there are platinum ceramics

Superlativo · 28 August 2015, 03:39 AM

That is e very good price for a Daytona. Specially at an AD. As an investment, there is no yield there. At most, if you decide to part with it, you won't take a big hit.

beshannon · 28 August 2015, 03:40 AM

Watches are not investments.

Buy what you want to wear and enjoy.

Brandon(phila) · 28 August 2015, 04:17 AM

Is it a good buy? = Yes

Long term what are the possibilitys of thinking of it as an investment... = No

****In 5 years you can sell for $10,200 if still mint (you only loose a few hundred)

****In 20 Years you can sell for $12,000 if Mint (you make $2000, but 20 years is a long time, you will flip before then

ap1 · 28 August 2015, 04:27 AM

These are good prices. Investment, uh, no - nope, never

Cinquecento · 28 August 2015, 04:29 AM

Don't finance your rolex - it's a luxury item. Nobody knows what will happen to prices in the future, buy what you can afford and invest in real estate.

Desibaba · 28 August 2015, 04:29 AM

Is the white dial more desireable on the daytona than the black one?

Different parts of the world make one more desirable then the other - from my understanding the Asian market prefers the Black dial and North America prefers the white - i opted for the black myself

simongpaez · 28 August 2015, 05:25 AM

I personally don't see watches as an investement, there are other forms of investment that will give you a better return than a watch,

Solo118 · 28 August 2015, 04:30 AM

Do NOT rely on the Daytona as an investment. There are many in the market.

If you like the watch, buy it as it is rarely discounted from an AD. Wear & Enjoy, do not worry about reselling it.

Seaswirl · 28 August 2015, 04:31 AM

OP, looks like you've been confronted with this dilemma before per your prior threads. Given that you've flipped the ss Daytona twice, it doesn't sound like its for you.

melrob1 · 28 August 2015, 04:32 AM

Um yeah that is a great pirce. Year old ones sellig. For 10800 on here. New 11800. I'd jump in it. Watches are not investments for the most part. You will take a hit on a trade in maybe 9500 at best. You could sell for 10-10500 at best. Buy it to enjoy it not for an investment. It's a great deal for a watch to love and use.
