I respect this forum's opinion

All:

I have saved for years to buy another Rolex watch. I have a "P0" 16613-CCD Sub I bought in 2003 and now would like to get Daytona. I have negotiated a 25% off deal with the local authorized dealer on a 116523-MDO. This will be the third Rolex I have purchased from them. I bought a "M0" 179313 ladies MOP with diamond bezel a couple of years ago. Here's my questions:

Should I expect the Daytona to be a "V0" 2008 ? Should I accept a "M0" ? Is the new style bracelet better?

And my biggest question is there a better Rolex watch I should consider? http://www.rolexforums.com/images/smilies/dummy.gif

Please feel free to post your thoughts ....

Mike

PS... Which multi winder should I consider?

Good Grief Folks !!


Is not anyone going to tell me to get a SS Daytona instead of a TT?

Is not anyone going to tell me I can pickup a choice Daytona used at half the price??

Thx !!

Patience, Kimosabe!

You cannot find a used SS Daytona at half price. Period.

Also - do you actually need someone to TELL you what to get, isn't it ultimately up to you? What do YOU like?

If you want an opinion - SS holds much better value. Hope this helps!

Sounds like you already know what you want. Good luck!

Welcome to the Forum Mike..

Sorry that I didn't jump right on your question.... But you posted at 4 am here, and I like to sleep in until at least 6......

25%off is an extremely generous discount for a TT Daytona.., depending on the dial (I don't do champagne) I might be sorely tempted to add that one to the box..

Here's what I think... You have a TT Sub, you would be more than comfortable with a TT Daytona....

The TT does not move as fast as the SS model so I would expect to see many many more M or even Z models in the cases than V serials, depending on where you live..

If it was a WG model for 25% off, I know I couldn't refuse... One of these would probably be as early as a D model still in the case..

But, like you said............you are the one wearing it, so get the one you want to be identified with........

My vote: TT Daytona with black dial and new clasp
I am sure 25% off is a great discount. At a local dealer they said about 20%, just because I bought a few things there.

SS Daytona would be the best bet.

The Black Dial in Asia and the White Dial in EU. These hold their value the best.

The Combi has a higher MSRP but a much lower used price.

Make sure you get all the paper work and books.

Thanks everyone !!

Well I like the 116523-MDO. But when I went to the store it had the old clasp. So I asked to see the original box and all. It has never been titled but it was a "F0". Yep the bracelet verified it was made in 2003.

The good news is I would have never known that if wasn't for this forum !!

Does anyone know what the retail price was in 2003-2004 for this watch??

I may hold out for a SS with white dial with the new clasp.

Thx Much !!!

The exact model you want is not listed but pick one close to it and use the % change as an indication.

[InVision]

Thanks

It looks like the retail of a 2003 116523-MDO was around $11K. Their cost was around $8K.

Good info 2 know.....

Thx,

30% atleast for a tt daytona

[Mrdi]

7 more posts and you can sell it.

[Z-Sub]

Glad you found a watch you like. 25% is great and just throw in I'll pay cash and see if you'll get another 5% off since they pay about 3% for credit card tansaction fees.

[bodybump]

Let me help you decide...ok you choose...imo TT daytona looks beautiful..but ss daytona holds its value...
