My new SS Daytona
Has been eyeing the SS DAytona ever since I saw it.
Dint want to pay the US$13k my local AD was asking. After 5 months of search, and not being able to get on any waiting list. Finally managed to walk into an AD with an SS Daytona. Got it a couple of weeks ago. My first rolex. Loving it. Serial Z8XXXXX, no hologram. Heres a couple of pics. |

ADs in Singapore
Quote:
They work this way in certain asian countries... including Malaysia. Was over in Japan a couple of months back... the ADs were asking for more than US$13k. |

Supply and demand dictates business practice.If it works for them,thats what you will have to pay.Its up to the buyer to decide whether he/she is a willing buyer at an inflated price or whether better timing may lead to a discount.116710 will be discounted when its old news.Its one to be a little bit patient on.Alas,ss Daytona and Milgauss may always be premiumnised ....

Thanks everyone.
Beginning to check the time more often, whenever I have the watch on. ekekek.. Enjoying it. And regarding the premiums, its market forces I suppose. But I guess most people prefer not to pay premiums, besides, searching for a watch is pretty fun and makes acquiring it that little sweeter. Shall go hunt for a Milgauss soon. |
