Rolex Daytona Beach question

[erezwatches]

I'm interested in the watch as an investment and I also think it's an amazing-looking watch. I tried looking online to see how much they are sold for but I can't find a clear answer. I found the watch for auction on an auction site called tzoffeys1818 (Lot 89).
Can anyone help me get a more accurate estimate on what it's worth?

Each watch is different and each color sells for different prices…… I assume you wanted the pink dial?

[erezwatches]

The blue dial specifically

150k plus………good luck!!!!

[erezwatches]

The starting price on the auction site is 65,000$.
Would you say under 100,000% is a good deal?

Europeanwatch in Boston has one on their site.

Have to agree Rolex watches today are thought of as little more than ££$$ objects. And its quite funny when the beach Daytona was launched they were very very poor sellers, that were aimed mainly for the female market who wanted a larger watch.

My AD could not get them in fast enough. Sold right out. Same with the leopard Daytona.

Many times PADI and I don’t agree on topics, but in this one, we are on exactly the same page. It is your money, do what you want with it, but to myself, and I submit most WISes, a fine timepiece like a Rolex is an item that is coveted, treasured, sometimes passed on as Heirlooms. It should be held with more regard then a certificate of Bitcoin.

But hey, that’s just my opinion, it is your money and do with it as you wish.

Man I like that, cool!!

a few years ago they have been sold less than 20k... No one wants this beach dials and prefers a standard leatherstrap Daytona... Nowadays they are quite rare.

I always liked them and thought they looked good fun, I can actually remember them selling for less than 20k not so long ago and was thinking about getting the full set .
When the OPs were released a couple of years ago I instantly thought of the Daytona Beach models and asked my dealer for a full set of them

Its funny when they first launched them way back in 2000, they could not give them away very very poor sellers.But today mainly because of internet hype they now bring silly money, but thats what Rolex watches are today just money objects.

Isn't this they way for most collectibles, those not popular at launch and thus are produced in limited numbers will rise more later if they get popular. Look at old Daytonas etc.

Regarding hype etc. The stone dials beach models are actually in a long line of Rolex stone dials and very nice in person. I don't understand how some like regular dials ahead of these stone dials, they are hot

Not entire correct. Many locations they sold very fast and AD’s had difficulty keeping in stock.

Well myself been around Rolex for over 50 years and never heard on any forum or location that any so called beach Daytona were great fast sellers.

Pics?

[erezwatches]

I tried to attach an image but it didnt let me. It's a blue dial Daytona Beach.
As I said earlier though, the watch is for auction on a site called tzoffeys1818 on Lot number 89.

When do you plan to sell?
How much do you intend to make on this investment?
What other uses do you have for your capital?

[erezwatches]

Honestly the investment aspect is just a way for me to justify getting this watch.
I mean the goal would be to sell it for 1.5 times the buy price.

So it is not an investment?

How long will you hold it to get that return?

[erezwatches]

At least 5-10 years.

The watch no doubt will be worth more than you paid…..a rare low production run watch…….there’s a few full sets for sale on chrono for 150k…..are ready to pay that or hoping to get a deal on a auction? Because that sounds like a bad plan….
