This watch is so new and so massive !
Retail more than 30.000 dollars, yet I was offered one today for $20.995
But as I have already ordered the white gold..can't have both...after all we are in a financial crisis...right..?

Anyone wants the yellow..??..YOU can have it ...just let me know.

toph · 21 October 2008, 11:32 PM

I guess they do not want to be saddled with them after the new model
enthusiasm will subside.

why do you think the list price on the 18k gold daytona is $3,000 more than the new day date 2??

casadecamporolex · 22 October 2008, 12:30 AM

I think that the market for Rolex is so soft right now and AD's inventories so large, big discounts are lurking here in the good old USA.
Personally, I'd rather have a brand new YG DD than the new one....or just make it platinum.

Trurolexer · 22 October 2008, 01:32 AM

BIG CONGRATS Mr. A!!!

20,995 for a watch is too much for me.

It's not replacing. It's in addition to. The existing Day-Date will not be going away.

That is a very good price, A. Same watch here in Auckland is listed at NZ$41,000 = US$25,000.

Can you imagine that Rolex is charging Americans a MSRP of 20% extra than the Kiwis...??
I guess it must be for the 2 year warranty...ha ha ha ha

Exactly what I was saying earlier in an another post about price manipulation

sphereman · 22 October 2008, 07:52 AM

on gold and platinums Rolex models, my AD said their cost on these watches are about 30% of the MSRP...

for a watch with MSRP $30,000, their cost would be only $10,000 or so.

Bisquitlips · 22 October 2008, 07:55 AM

Exactley....So a price of around $17,000 will be fare in Spring 09...there will be a lot of stock just like the Rolex Prince

golfball123 · 22 October 2008, 08:53 AM

I was an AD at one point in my life and our cost was 60% of retail on presidents. Could he have meant if he discounted it 30% off of retail that, that was his cost and he was keeping it a little high just to keep a margin in it for him? I say that becasue when we would sell a d/date in those days and retail was say $20k - we would sell it for 30% off and make about $2000. The brutal part of it would be the client still felt you made a killing on it and he would come back years later with a problem and want it fixed for free, which of course Rolex wouldn't do and if you had to swallow it, well ... you get the picture, there wasn't much left at the end of the day.

lumatuna · 22 October 2008, 12:06 PM

WOW, that's a beautiful watch!!!

Nice watch, I have not see one in any AD around here. If I had an extra 21K I would be giving you a call.

Sorry, not even close. Dealer cost is much, much higher than that.

Is it 18k yellow with a diamond dial? Non-diamond dial Day-Date II retails for just over $27k.

golfball123 · 22 October 2008, 03:48 PM

i think it will drop further....

Hello.
I was with the local AD and He offered the a Day date II Ref No:218238 with the trade in my old Day date President ,late 1970 for $7100. So the difference I have to pay 15K.Is that a good deal??? Your comment are greatly appreciated.Do you know a very good Rolex dealer in the East cost?
Regards

Well, if the MSRP is $27k their cost is about $16,200. If you pay $15k plus trade then the AD will be putting $1200 in your watch plus what ever profit they wish. As an example, if they sell your watch to a broker for $4k and you pay them $15k on a watch they own for $16,200, they are getting $19k or $2800 profit. If you had the means to pay cash and not trade in your watch, offer them $18500 which is a little over 30% off. Go sell your watch for $5-6k and you will own your new DDII for $12.5-13.5K. All depends on how much work you are willing to put in for the extra $$$$ you may save? Is their deal a good one? Only you can really answer that. If your happy with it, then yes.

Good luck and let us know when you get your new watch.
