1. Would not pay a mark-up for BNIB.
2. Prefer buying pre-owned at less than List. 3. Was really into the white dial version but then lost interest. I don't know why. 4. So no longer in the market for Ceramic version. 5. Ended up buying the discontinued SS version with black dial today. Maybe because of relative value? |

You ain't getting this watch at 30% under MSRP; plus, the MSRP 5 years from now is probably 20% more than today's MSRP. |

I would go $2k over. I remember wanting a ss and gold ceramic blue sub and thought the price of $7k was waaaaaay too much. This was 5 years ago. Several price increases later and they go for $11.5k. My point is with just 2-3 price increases the white ceramic daytona will cost more in a few quick years than the $2k premium I would pay now.
Just two cents from what I've regretted in past! |

$0.
Never have paid over MSRP for anything, especially a watch. In all honesty, I don't expect to pay full retail for the 116500, if I chose to purchase it.

If I didn't have a good relationship with my AD I'd probably pay up to $1,000 to have a Daytona this year, but since I DO have a good relationship with my AD I'll pay $0.00 over MSRP

I wouldn't pay anything over MSRP and would rather just wait a little longer. I had a friend the other day saying he'd pay 6k more over. I'd rather buy myself a DJII with that money and enjoy that until I could get a DaytonaC and then have two watches. I think he needs his head examined.

As has been said by so many, my answer would ZERO! I would rather wait. Its a good watch but they are already asking a BIG premium for an SS Rolex!

First off I remember the saying " it's worth what someone will pay for it".
Second, I also recall about 10 years ago visiting a Rolex dealer and the story then was only regular customers who purchased diamonds and other high end pieces could even think about purchasing the SS Daytona at the time, $ 23,000.00 white gold models no problem SS good luck, they have always seemed to be of limited supply. My brother and I both recently purchased new Rolex's I chose a DD40 he a GMT C SS. 3 days after he owned the watch buyers remorse set in after he read an article related to the new Ceramic Daytona and he put his name on the waiting list, the pictures on the web are incredible , this watch to me is stunning, as much as my new YG DD40. If not for all the chatter on this forum I would ot be on the list to get one allegedly in October of this year. Hope to post pics soon. Last edited by ppbskis; 18 May 2016 at 02:09 AM..

Better wait until next year, if you're lucky you can get discount, if not at least you can buy in MRSP

seems like everyone will wait until MSRP as opposed to paying a few hundred $$ over MSRP if it was available right then and there...

Happy to pay MSRP for the 116500.
Anyone looking for a discount is going to be waiting for a long time. :) |

Getting allocated a 116500 today would afford the owner the opportunity to flip for a lnib WG sub/BLRO/DD40 for 12,400 in some sense lol win win in the long run the gold watch should be worth more as well. Okay I'm done

History has shown that (vintage) SS models are worth more than Gold in the long run -- look at recent auction prices for reference

I would not pay a premium for a ceramic Daytona, but I did pay a hefty premium for my Zenith Daytona back when they were truly impossible to source.
My friends thought I was crazy to buy any Rolex, much less pay above MSRP for one, but I really wanted one and was in a position to pay for it without using borrowed money. Now almost twenty years later, I'm still enjoying my watch and the extra money that I paid never crosses my mind. |

SS models were more popular than gold as well SS/Precious metals don't have anything to do with price in long run but the watch itself + the people who wear the watch |

Would gladly pay MSRP, not a penny more. I rather wait it out and buy one second hand.
A 116520 would give me the same satisfaction. Imagine a fully revamped SS Daytona was released, it would be pure mayhem! |
