I heard whole Daytona line will be discontinued and retired. Rolex is fedup with constant attention for this model.

Daytona's grey market prices are out of the roof already so can't imagine if its discontinued lol. Rolex would be stupid to discontinue when this watch sells like hot cakes. This is how Rolex is able to get other pieces to sell that is not sought off.

Like French says: where there is smoke it means a fire started.
Too many rumors about daytona 42 mm, blue bezel, fake ? Maybe but secondary price are already reacting.

If it’s not broke, don’t fix it. My guess is there won’t be much of a change. Maybe more options but not many.

Buy the 116500 now if you have the means .. If they go with 41 the current one will skyrocket to 50K by year end ..

Looks like 3:1 believe it will not be discontinued. I think the collective wisdom of this group will have predicted this correctly. Just a couple of weeks to know for sure.

What I don't get is it probably costs them 3-4k to manufacture a SS Daytona which the dealer pays about 7k for. People are paying 35k for them now. Maybe they need to revisit their MSRP etc.

Yes. Could jump to $14,700 or similar in line with TT units and pocket twice the money. Clearly they want to keep the frenzy going.

Perhaps demand for the purpose of resale is the primary demand?

personally i don't think it will be discontinued.

however, if u asked for the collective wisdom of the group if the Rolex Sub would increase in size to "41"mm from 40mm - I'm sure you would received same response as discontinuation question.

Only Rolex knows

I heard Rolex will stop making watches. Just drop the mic, and say all they will do going forward is offer after sales servicing through RSC. Pivot from watch making to watch servicing. The excess employees will focus on Bitcoin going forward. Just what I heard from my lovely SA upon making my weekly delivery of fresh strawberries and cream to the AD. Oh by the way they had a Date 34 blue dial in the case just pm me if interested!
