2020 for me because it has the new style un-named card. I think a thousand dollars is ok for 3 years-newer. Which grey are you getting it from?

Cannot see what difference it would make exactly the same watch myself would buy the cheaper one.

I’d buy the newer watch, more warranty left and peace of mind.

I feel like there is a lesson here? Maybe if we could preserve and track the life and history of just one single unsold Daytona, we could break the cycle and find our way back to logic, sense and msrp

Those 116500 Daytonas are pretty hard to get rid of, don't you know? Must have been sitting on the shelf for three years gathering dust...

I'll take the cheaper. Don't care about the new card and longer warranty. Have never used Rolex warranty so far.

I'd likely buy the newest one due to warranty coverage and the cost of repair on a Daytona movement if you are unlucky and there's a problem!!!

Well if bought from a grey and the warranty was not activated by a official Rolex AD there could be no Rolex warranty.But in the real world the Rolex warranty is seldom needed except to those today with the {CCTS} constant checking time syndrome, and fretting over a second or so and wanting there watches regulated for one or two seconds out of spec.

I would go for the cheaper of the two. Same watch, who cares about the warranty card.

Same watch both under warranty long enough to know if there is a issue so go with the cheapest one.

if you have a older 116500 with the stickers on it or a 2020 116500 without the stickers but it is the same 116500. i will choose the one with stickers.

Gosh, that's about $2200 US. I'd go with the older (less expensive) one. Who in their right mind would spend over $2K for a plastic card that has no intrinsic value?

There is nothing a new (or even used) Daytona could have wrong with it to incur a $1.5k warranty bill. The 2017 and 2020 model have identical odds of being perfect from the factory.
That said, the Daytona movement is well established and reliable movement to begin with. The OP has no risk in buying the new 2017 model and saving some money. |

2020. I bet many NOS listings are probably gently used with stickers on.
