Daytona anniversary edition (116506) not a great seller?

Kept me away since I don't want diamonds on my watch in general, even if they were the same price.

Well it's great but not $75K great. It costs like 67 ounces, nearly 2 kilograms of platinum

Back OT, I have not seen Platona's selling under $50K except Jomashop or Bob's - two places I'd never wire $50K.

On the whole, the Platona plays well with people having the wherewithal to own one...

I have been eyeing some 16710's on Bob's. I really felt pretty secure with their lifetime authenticity guarantee. So out of curiosity & piece of mind why do you not recommend Bob's?

Those bracelets

The more expensive YG models with blingy bracelets just looks loud and it puts a lot of people off. A friend of mine one said that someone wearing a gold Rolex has paid a lot of money to look cheap.

One day Mick's going to say something that's not insulting to a sizable number of forum members. Until then, may he freely share his ignorance and myopia as we lie in wait. Rock on Mick.

Regarding the OP's post, and the great steel holding value vs. pm- A pre-owned pt Daytona for 50k or less is 1/3 plus off retail. A pre-owned gold GMT for 22k or less is the same 1/3 plus. Pre-owned day date for 23 and change is about what you see in the secondary market. That's the going rate on PM models. Pre-owned stainless can be had for about 1/4 off.

Fewer buyers and higher price points equals an extra eight percent off. Approximately.

Buy it (right) and enjoy it!

Absolutely stunning watch when seen in person. It's the end of the Rolex rainbow, for me.

I also love the version with the diamond hour markers. I'm not a diamond guy at all, but that dial is done so tastefully that I just love it!

Oh yeah, to the OP's question - yes, it's expensive.

It's still more attainable than that of 116500 Cerachrome Daytona. When I asked about it, they said they could have it maximum 1 month from the order day
