At that time he said that there will be a long line going into the store if he advertize deal like that and almost laugh at me.
This time he said if I buy the bracelet he'll sell both watch and bracelet. So he discounted bracelet for $4.4K and Daytona at MSRP(retail price). IMO this is win-win situation for me and my wife. Given I need present for my wife anyway.
So, to your question, I guess, there is a hope to get hot watches at MSRP.
P.S. In USA ADs can't sell Rolex watches above MSRP. Rolex Daytona 116500 in USA at MSRP $12.4K

Wow then huge congratulations, and many thanks for your honesty. There’s a moral here, ‘you gotta pay to play’! Win win for you and your wife.

I'll say!-your Daytona purchase could be a real "win-win" situation, esp. if you
can get the full $22050 price you're asking for it here:

https://www.rolexforums.com/showpost...69&postcount=1

That’s a clean $9650 profit. But looking at it another way, if you get the $22050 you can cover the cost of your DSSD-MSRP $12250, and your BLNR-MSRP $8950, which you said were the prices you paid for these watches and still be ahead $850. Sweet!

Only catch, you'll no longer have your grail, or like what others have said in this thread, your "land-sea-air" combo. And it might be years before you come across another black dial ceramic Daytona.

But with the luck you’ve been having so far, who knows, you might soon source a white dial ceramic Daytona, at MSRP of course. BTW, are you sure your AD isn’t your brother? Or at least your brother-in-law?

Yep, you can't make this stuff up... Why would you open a thread to boast about your newly acquired Daytona only to flip it three days later?
I know this is your watch, for you to do as you wish, and so forth, but the optics...
So much for the 'fulfilled' collection.

This went from the most excited to the most depressing thread on here

I thought well done to you on achieving such a Grail watch.Then you've decided to sell it on in such a short time ,was it an impulse buy & if it was, its not really a Grail watch anyway.To me it's more of a failed Grail for sale .

Nice way to make a quick buck for Christmas

exactly!

How does the black Daytona compare size wise to the Batman?

I am not asking for the specs. I am asking you to share your impressions because you own both. Do they wear comparable? Does the Daytona wear a little smaller?

Thx!

[arguetaoscar]

Awesome collection! Congratulations, maybe a Polar or a White Sky-dweller!

I have both and think the Daytona wears a bit smaller. Of course, it is physically smaller so I guess that checks out. The Daytona is sleeker and subtler than the GMT from a case/bezel perspective.

Great collection but it is never over

[myporsche]

LMAO - what a joke, just another flipper who got their "grail"

Seems passion is getting harder to find in this hobby of ours.

[ekimneems]

That is an amazing collection for only 6 months in. Dangerous hobby, huh?

[subprimero]

A great collection! Congratulations!

I retract my congrats since you're flipping the watch. So much for it being your grail.
