Greeting from Canada

There is no doubt in my mind that Rolex will eventually introduce ceramic bezels to their SS/Gold and Gold Daytona watches. Since ceramic bezels are likely less expensive to produce than gold, will the prices of those models be reduced???
Thanks

Rolex already fit a ceramic bezel to their Rose Gold Daytona with a leather strap.

Not to mention the Platinum one.

True! On the price reduction, doubt it !

ap1 · 1 August 2016, 01:04 AM

Nope. Nice try though

daytonaTBR · 1 August 2016, 01:54 AM

In time they will probably add ceramic bezels to their TT and Gold on bracelet watches. However, msrp will probably go up a little bit.

japenney · 1 August 2016, 02:16 AM

If we all say yes maybe it will happen

no and will be lucky if they dont increase! and not sure if I agree that all Daytonas will go ceramic?

SC11 · 2 September 2016, 11:05 PM

Can see it in the future but Rolex did update the TT and YG Daytona's this year with the new bezel markings so I'd give it a few years.

Not without a worldwide depression will prices ever go down.

Prices in what form of exchange (read: what currency or item/form of intrinsic value)? Considering no currency in the world is backed by anything of intrinsic value....

Sort of like Monopoly money, only with a bit more faith by humans of what value it may have at a given moment in time. The USD, now in it's third central banking scheme, has already lost over 94% of it's buying power since its third go-around / inception. And you wonder why we keep hearing that "prices are going up", when in a sense it is currency destruction / devaluation that is the 'problem'.

Danny83 · 2 September 2016, 11:17 PM

I doubt it

rmlovett1 · 2 September 2016, 11:51 PM

Price REDUCTION with addition of ceramic?.....seriously doubt that.

I think the WGs will get it next, sales are not as good as on the other PMs and will get a nice shot in the arm.

.

We don't have yet the watch, but we already have its (future) MSRP.

All WG and RG Rolex models have always had the same MSRP.

Ex.: RG Daytona 116505 is 37450$ and WG Daytona is 37450$

We also know that ceramic 116515 on leather is 28800$ , when a WG 116519 on leather is 26650$ (model discontinued in 2015).

This 2150$ difference for the ceramic RG over the non ceramic WG let me conclude that a WG or RG ceramic Daytona on oyster will cost 39600$ (37450+2150) .

I'm sure it will be '17 now I've put money down on another brand's reverse panda.

Price reduction...good one. The watch is priced waaaay above just the sum of it's parts.

watchwatcher · 3 September 2016, 12:58 AM

Reduced? Doubt it.

We will get a nice video that shows how long and hard it is to produce just the right ceramic and fill with platinum numbers...blah, blah...and they will charge more.
